Temporary Service Changes

Due to current limited staff levels, MCAS is making temporary changes to some services. These changes have been made in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin’s Shelter Medicine program, which is partnering with MCAS to establish an equitable community approach to animal services and excellence in animal care. The County is actively recruiting to fill positions and anticipates that these changes will be in place until spring 2022.

Adoptions: Online and streamlined

MCAS is temporarily unable to offer in-person visits to the shelter to browse adoption kennels. All adoptions are being conducted virtually through an online browsing, application and interview process. 

Adoption Counselors will make two attempts to contact applicants by phone. If they are unable to make contact after two attempts, they will move to the next interested adopter.

MCAS is temporarily unable to offer people the ability to meet with animals they’re interested in adopting. MCAS staff are happy to talk with potential adopters who have questions or concerns about this part of the process.
