HAPPY NEW YEAR from MCAS volunteers!!!

Congratulations to all the staff and volunteers at MCAS for an absolutely exceptional year!!  Some of the highlights this year:

MCAS volunteer coordinators and trainers have re-vamped the OPEN PAW program, and volunteer numbers are at an all-time high!  Join us and work with amazing dogs here!

Over 115 dogs were saved thanks to MCAS's incredible dog fosters.  Foster coordinator Angela Lindbo expressed her gratitude:

  "It's wonderful to see these dogs all enriched through our fostering, and transformed from homeless to beloved family members."

One fact is true: fostering saves lives!  I hope to report this time next year that we have saved twice as many dogs through our fostering program.  Help us make that happen, and make a difference here!

MCAS hired a fantastic new trainer Cindy Bruckhart, CPDT, referred by the mac daddy himself, Dr. Ian Dunbar!  Cindy and level 3 volunteers have made incredible strides with dog playgroups and  evaluations.  I have learned so much working with Cindy, and I am so grateful to her and MCAS for such an amazing opportunity.  

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

"MORKIE" from the planet Orkie

ADOPTED!

Valentine's Day has arrived early this year!  Meet the love of your life "Morkie!"  This one year old fella is enthusiastic about life, but still hasn't seen it all, so new situations paired with lots of praise and free treats is exactly what he needs.

Morkie is a great contender for agility training.  MCAS will require that he, and his new person, (you!) take level one training, but Morkie learns fast and he would love to continue into specialty training like agility work.

All you bonafide Jim Henson fans out there should be knocking down the MCAS doors for this muppet!
