MAS took in more than 15,000 pets in 2010. They house several hundred pets at a time. Today, they have 29 listings on Petfinder. I don't know if these are current listings.

A reader advises that a caring citizen has matched … Continue reading Reward for Kapone Increased

Ona sent this report and a bunch of additional photos: I started taking pictures and then she took my water bottle. She came back and took my keys. Then she heard Jon and her tail started wagging. He came in and sat down and she absolutely smothered him with kisses. Jon told her to get … Continue reading Update on Jane
