MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Animal Care & Control tries to help animals find forever homes through adoption. They hope to have the shelter cleaned this week.
During the summer months, the organization sees spikes in impounds. The shelter recently saw 130 animals in its care.
“An important part of our mission is that no animal suffers here,” said Danielle Joerger, MACC Animal Shelter Supervisor. “Every adoption frees up space so we can care for every animal that needs us. And when we reduce our shelter population, we reduce the stress on our animals.”
Those interested in adopting can stop by the shelter between Tuesday, July 30 and Saturday, August 3. Minneapolis residents will not be charged an adoption fee for dogs or cats. Non-residents will pay a small fee. Puppies under 6 months old will have an adoption fee of $250.
“In everything we do, there is no better feeling than seeing the animals we adore go to good, loving homes,” said Madison Weissenborn, Animal Shelter Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator.
