About Us

Rescue Animals:

The MCHS Rescue was opened and established exclusively as an overflow shelter for animals from the county shelter facility. The facility provided by our local government through the contract 30 years ago is insufficient in space and has not grown to support the growing population of our constituency. The MCHS Rescue located at 607 South Stonestreet Avenue is a zero euthanasia humanitarian effort dedicated to our commitment that space is not a reason for taking the life of an adoptable animal. 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.

Cilantro/Rescue is a sweet rex rabbit being cared for at the MCHS Private Rescue.  He’s about 2 years old and oh so soft.  He doesn’t mind being carried or held.  He would make a great family addition.  If you would like to adopt this adorable rabbit, come by and see him or call for more information. 

Chick Fillet/Rescue is an adorable 4 month old pit bull puppy being cared for at the MCHS Private Rescue.  She’s a happy girl, gets along with other dogs and loves people.  Since she is a puppy, we do require that an adult be home all day to train and socialize her.  She can not be left in a crate all day for 8-10 hours.  Also the new adopters will have to own their own home and not have any other pit bulls in the household.  If you qualify and you are interested in adopting her, come and see her or call for more information.

We have some nice doves at the MCHS Private Rescue who are up for adoption. There are 4 white ones and one brown one. They all came in together, but do not need to be adopted out together. They need lots of attention and the cage cleaned every day. If you have the time to devote to these birds, come on by and see them or call for more information.

Meet Lima/Rescue, a 1 1/2 year old male Rex, who would like nothing better than to find a bunny-loving home to call his very own.   This little charmer is litter box trained.  He loves to explore, and if he is allowed out of his cage or pen, the house should be rabbit-proofed. Lima/Rescue has so far not chewed on wires or furniture, but will eat paper.  He is very independent and not at all demanding. We haven’t been able to get him to sit quietly with us, but with time, patience, and lots of love, I believe he could be the sweetest, little cuddle bunny.  If you would like to meet Lima/Rescue he is being cared for at the MCHS Rescue.  Come on by and see him.

Daisy/Rescue is a very special dog that is looking for a very special home and family. She originally came into the shelter as a stray and was very sick and scared. She has come a long way and is now very healthy, happy, and full of life. The special home she needs and is looking for is one where she will be the only pet, won't have small young children, will have a strong secure fence, people that have had some experience with dogs, and will be willing to take her to an obedience class. She also needs a family that will be able to give her the direction and leadership that she desires. She is a sweet and loving dog that bonds very well with her people but she can be a little unsure of new people and situations. She is an Aussie Shepherd Mix, who is 65lbs, and is about 4 years old. This sweetheart is already house trained, crate trained, current on shots, micro chipped, heartworm and Lyme negative. She also knows some commands and walks pretty well on a leash. If you think you are that special home and family that Daisy is looking for please come on by and see her or call for more information.
