Not All Animals Come Wrapped In Perfect Packages
. . But All Animals Have Feelings.
From healthy and cute to abandoned and starving, MACS remains committed to providing every animal with the best possible treatment. For many animals MACS is their only hope and often their last refuge. That is why for more than 90 years we have steadfastly held to our mission to care for all the animals regardless of their community’s social status. Payment is never required for an animal brought in by one of our rescue vehicles or taken through our shelter door. Donations are always welcomed from those who are able. Whether it’s an owner turn-in or a stray no animal is ever turned away. We are well aware of the tragedies that befall discarded animals on the street. We are the ones who pick up the pieces.
Obviously, your financial help is essential in providing thousands of stray, injured and unwanted animals a safe haven and a second chance for a better life.

| At MACS, we provide more than just food and a place to sleep—we offer medical care, warmth, and compassion. We work tirelessly to match each animal with a loving home, but we can’t do it alone. Your donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. It helps us provide life-saving treatments, nutritious meals, and safe shelter for animals who have nowhere else to go. It gives them hope—and a future. | Becoming a monthly donor isn’t just a donation—it’s a commitment to compassion. It’s knowing that, month after month, you are helping transform fear into safety and uncertainty into hope. Please consider joining our community of monthly supporters today. Together, we can ensure that every animal who comes through our doors gets the care, love, and future they deserve. | A gift made in memory of a cherished pet is a beautiful way to celebrate the joy, loyalty, and unconditional love they brought into the world. It transforms grief into compassion—helping provide food, medical care, and safe shelter for animals who need it most. Each donation becomes part of a living legacy, giving other animals the opportunity to experience the same warmth and kindness that your pet knew so well. It’s a meaningful way to ensure their spirit continues to make a difference. | An honorarium donation to MACS celebrates a life, a milestone, or a person whose kindness has made a difference. Whether it’s in recognition of a birthday, a recovery, or simply someone who loves animals deeply, your gift becomes a tribute that creates real impact. Your donation helps provide food, medical care, and safe shelter for animals who have nowhere else to turn. It turns admiration into action, ensuring that the values you’re celebrating—care, generosity, and love—continue to ripple outward. |
