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?
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.

MADACC does not adopt out animals.  Local animal placement organizations partner with MADACC to adopt out animals.  MADACC has a special relationship with the Companion Animal Resource and Adoption Center (CARAC) which exclusively takes MADACC’s animals.
