All stray animals should be brought to MADACC to give the owner the opportunity to claim their lost pet.  If an animal is wearing identification or a microchip is found during scanning, attempts will be made immediately to contact owners.  

How Long Does MADACC Hold Animals?  
Under law, stray animals are sheltered for a minimum of 7 days.  If unclaimed after the 7 day hold, the animals are evaluated for health and temperament and offered to local shelters, breed placement groups or euthanized as a last resort.

What Happens To The Animals?
 

1. Upon admittance, animals are scanned for a microchip, given a health exam, dewormed and vaccinated, given food, water and clean bedding, and if a stray animal, its photograph is posted onto MADACC’s website, www.madacc.com.
2. All adoptable or potentially adoptable animals that have completed their stray hold period and were not claimed by their owner are offered to our animal placement partners.
