The next 16 adult dogs adopted have their fees paid for.
We have some amazing dogs of all ages and personalities available. Dogs can be adopted to any location, even out of state.
The shelter is bursting at the seams with dogs. We need foster homes. Here are some benefits of having dogs in a foster home:
Saving a dog’s life and helping local shelters.
Preparing a dog for their forever home and increasing their chances of getting adopted.
Seeing a dog’s true personality and watching them grow and blossom.
Learning a lot about yourself and the dogs from fostering.
Enjoying the joy and pleasure of helping a pet in need.
Connecting with your community and other foster parents.
Offering a temporary companion for your own pets.
Contact us about fostering.
MCAS is in need of canned kitten food and adult dog food. We could also use some Desitin cream. These items can be found on our Amazon wishlist if you would like to order them there and have them shipped directly to us, or you are always welcome to bring donations to the shelter at 961 Shelter Rd. in Princeton. All donations are appreciated.

Notes: Dumplin is a mixed breed, possibly around 6 years old, and his weight is in the 50-55 lb range. Dumplin is a big, goofy fella with tons of energy. We have not been able to do his temperament tests yet, so if you have other dogs, bring them to meet Dumplin before adopting.
Owner Johnathan said: "He doesn’t do too good with cats in all the years I’ve owned him he’s reactive towards them. I hope whoever gets my boy will give him a good rest of his life. He loves other dogs and children. He’s very friendly and submissive. " "I had him since he was a baby and he’s the total opposite of the stereotype of his breed. Very gentle and not like what most Pits reputations are. He lived with me and my little sisters until I got married and moved and couldn’t bring him with me due to the wrong assumptions of him being part Pit. I definitely recommend a house with kids." "He’s also extremely friendly to a fault, never knows a stranger and I recommend keeping on a leash when going outside because he can be a runner."This dog has been available for 213 days
If you are interested in Dumplin phone 304-425-2838 for an appointment to meet him at Mercer County Animal Shelter. We are open Tuesday-Saturday: 12pm-6pm, .
