Additional adoption info

To adopt:
1. Come to MADACC during adoption hours and meet the dog(s) you are interested in. You will be asked to fill out an "Adopter Profile" upon arrival. This will assist in finding the best match for your family.
2. If it is a match, the adoption is complete that day.
Not all dogs are spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. They will be scheduled as quickly as possible. Dogs can not go until altered. No holds can be placed.
3. All animals that will reside in Milwaukee County and are 4 months of age or older are required by law to have a current license - this will be an additional $12 added to the listed adoption fee. Adoption fees are $75-$450 for dogs and $25-$125 for cats.
