"PRAIRIE" *pre-select* pretty little CATTLE DOG mix "MCAS"

 UPDATE 8/14/25 Pre-selected or RECLAIMED

MCAS needs to spay/neuter all dogs before adoption, especially the females (and ensure that the dogs are given adequate care and recovery time!) Adopting intact dogs to new homes is grossly irresponsible in our current homeless dog crisis. EVEN POOR counties with a much smaller budget for animal control are ensuring that  the dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Management is failing the animals and the community. possible Solution? - lease/create an offsite space and hire part-time well- qualified Veterinarians and qualified volunteers to help out.  Provide safe spay/neuter and provide a safe recovery space so all adoptable animals are spay/neutered before they go to new homes.  More veterinarians would be willing to help, if they were given more autonomy, focus on the job, and if they could work away from the animal shelter.

 8/9/25 "I'm available for a pre-select adoption but I can't go home yet. Please come to the shelter to apply! Learn more about Pre-select animals."   NOTE- it is important to check at the local animal shelters if you lose your pet as the stray hold time is only 3-6 days depending on if they have any id
