The MCHS Rescue was opened and established
exclusively as an overflow shelter for animals
from the County Animal Shelter. The facility
provided by our local government through the
contract 30 years ago is insufficient in space
and has not grown to support our growing
constituency. The
overflow rescue facility supports our underlying
philosophy that animals should have a second
chance regardless of appearance or health. It
utilizes state of the art technology to provide
a safe and healthy environment for dogs, cats,
rabbits, and other small companion animals.

Hello all! My name is Percy/Rescue
and I’m a 7-year-old neutered male
Tibetan spaniel mix (probably with
Pomeranian). I’m a small, compact fellow
weighing in about 17 lbs. My long hair
is the prettiest coloring of sable and
black. I am being cared for at the MCHS
Private Rescue.
I love riding in the car and looking out
of all the windows, but I prefer to ride
shotgun with my paws perched on the
dashboard looking out at where we are
headed. When my foster mom tells me that
I need to sit down, I think about it for
a few seconds and then obey. I also walk
nicely on a leash. In my new home I only
ask for one thing -- no cats or bunnies
-- I have a tendency to chase them. My
Foster Mom lets me have free run of the
house when she's at work because I have
such good manners.
One of my favorite things to do is go
for long walks (even if it's raining). I
whine to tell foster mom when it’s time
to go “outside”. I’m great with kids
over 9 (as long as they have dog
experience) -- I tend to be jumpy when I
get excited. My ideal home environment
would be with another dog and possibly a
backyard to go exploring, but not
necessary if I’m leash-walked at least 4
times a day.
If you are interested in
visiting come on by and see him or call
for more information.
Since this is one of our senior dogs,
the adopter will receive a $75 coupon
that can be used towards future
veterinary visits. In addition, the
adopter will get a $50.00 discount off

chocolate male Labrador retriever mix.
He likes adults, children, and dogs. He
likes to ride in the car. He is a
typical puppy and loves to chew on his
toys and play. Since he is a puppy, he
will need to be adopted to a home where
there is an adult home all day to train
and socialized him so he grows up to be
a well mannered, responsible adult dog.

Stone/Rescue is a nice, adorable
2 year old male cat that needs a special
home. He is Feline Immunodeficiency
Virus (FIV) positive which means he can
not go to a household where there are
other cats. It is important to realize
that a positive test for FIV is not a
mandatory death sentence; an
FIV-positive cat can lead a reasonably
normal life span. FIV does not lead to
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in
cats as often as human immunodeficiency
virus leads to AIDS in people. If you
are looking for only one cat to add to
your household and do not currently have
any cats, come by and see him or call
for more information. He deserves to
have a good forever home too. |

and stay. He let his owners know when he
had to go outside for the bathroom and
didn’t go inside the house. He likes
adults and children. He is an active guy
and likes to play fetch. He likes to
ride in the car and be brushed and
groomed. He had an evaluation from one
of our experienced evaluator and she
found that he walks calmly on his leash.
He appears to be housetrained. He is not
overly demonstrative but very sweet and
will give gentle kisses and gently seeks
out petting. He is an excellent dog for
a calm household looking for a sweet
companion. He will need to be adopted to
a home where there are no children under
16 years old and to owners that have dog
experience. He also needs to attend
obedience classes. If you would like

Midnight/Rescue has not had a very
good life so far. She was kept outside
and has had no training or no attention.
Midnight has heartworms because she
wasn't kept on the monthly preventative
pill. Heartworm is treated with a series
of 2 or 3 shots given over 30-45 days,
during which Midnight will need to have
leash-walks only (no jumping or jarring
activities). She is a sweet 5 year old
female Rottweiler/Shepherd mix. She had
an evaluation and they found her to be
assertive. She likes to be in change and
needs structure and consistency. She is
confident and likely to be comfortable
in new situations. She does not react
well to small dogs on a leash though.
She is a high energy, very active dog
that needs an outlet for her energy. She
is independent. She is a resource
guarder and protects food and toys.
Because of this she is not a good match
for families with small children. She is
strong willed. She is tolerant, patient,
and accepting of excessive physical
contact. She will need to be adopted to
a home where there are no children and
her new adopters need to take her to
obedience classes and have a quiet home
with dog experience. If you are the ones
for her, come by and see her or call for
more information. She deserves a second
chance. |
