Adopting an Animal

Before meeting with an animal, we require each applicant to have a completed adoption application. These applications can be found on each animal's profile, by clicking the links above. Applications are transferable between animals, as long as the animals are the same species. If you are not able to complete the adoption application online, please stop by our Center to fill one out!

Once your application is submitted, you are welcome to stop by our Center anytime during our business hours. Please bring a current form of identification as well as proof of address. Our Adoption Counselor will review your application, identification, and proof of address. Once your application is approved, a staff member will bring you to a room to meet with the animal that you are interested in.

Please note that some animals may be in foster care and may not be available to immediately meet with you.

After Adoption

Prior to adoption, all of our animals are given all core vaccines according to their age. All animals are spayed or neutered prior to being available for adoption. Stray animals that are brought in are held for the legally required timeframe prior to being available for adoption. All dogs and puppies are required to leave our facility after adoption wearing a collar and leash. You are welcome to bring your own, or purchase some at our Center. All cats and kittens are required to leave our Center after adoption in a cat carrier. You are welcome to bring your own carrier, or purchase one at our Center.

Some animals may be microchipped prior to adoption. Our staff will share with their adopters the microchip information and steps for registration. If your newly adopted animal is not microchipped already, our staff will microchip them during adoption if requested.

All animals are sent home with starter food, to help avoid your newly adopted pet from getting sick due to a sudden change in food.

When you are adopting, please remember that it takes your newly adopted animal time to adjust to their new home, family, and lifestyle. It make take months, up to a year for your animal to be fully acclimated. If you are struggling acclimated your newly adopted animal, please call our Center at 406-727-7387 or email us at admin@mc-aac.org. Our staff is ready to help with advice, solutions, and tools to help your animal adjust.
