Cats, children
Duke is a goofy cuddle bug with endless energy and a quick mind. He loves to run and play and has plenty of love to give. Duke would thrive in a home with an active family, jogging, running, hiking, swimming, he’s down for anything. Duke is an especially smart boy and with the right motivation (a handful of yummy treats) he is focused and responsive to training. We think he would thrive in an agility class. With some consistency and dedication, Duke could be a real king among dogs.
Duke would be most comfortable in a home in an adult only family that can handle his zesty perception of life. He is a very fun, loving, and quirky boy, but should have a confident and experienced handler. He has made some canine playmates at MAS, but some dogs he would rather just co-exist and not interact with.
If Duke sounds like your kind of guy, submit an adoption application at the MAS website to get the adoption process started!

Lily is a 2 year old, 41 pound Staffy Heinz 57 Mix with the most amazing ears !! She is such a lovable and goofy sweetheart with the best heart. Lily loves playing with her toys, going for adventures with her humans and romping around with her doggie buddies. This sweet soul had a rough start to her life; as a result she can take moment to warm up to new people or pups, but it doesn’t take her long to be anyone’s new best friend !! Lily is house trained and crate trained, and she does well with other dogs with proper introductions. She would do great with kids who would love an excited playmate. She is thumbs down on cats. Lily is spayed and up to date on shots. Her adoption fee is $250. To adopt Lily apply online.

When Tisket and Tasket were found, it was thought that they were unfriendly when in reality they were just frightened little kittens. They were brought into a foster home for some socialization and are now with us looking for their forever home.
Tisket, the black-and-white cutie, is the outgoing one. She’s always curious, loves to play, and enjoys being pet. She’s also protective of her sister and makes sure Tasket feels safe. Tasket, with her sleek black fur, is a bit more reserved and prefers to take things at her own pace. She’s often found sitting quietly on the sidelines, observing the world around her with calm, thoughtful eyes. Don’t let her little hiss fool you—it’s all for show! Once she trusts you, she’ll happily accept your affection.
These two sisters complement each other perfectly, with Tisket’s outgoing nature balancing Tasket’s quiet charm. They share a strong bond and would thrive in a home where they can continue to grow and explore together. If you’re looking for a pair of kittens who will bring double the love and companionship, Tisket and Tasket are the perfect match!
For the safety of our kittens and for children, we do not adopt kittens under six months old to a home with children under the age of 6.
Both girls have been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $240. They have an approximate birthdate of March, 2024.
Apply to adopt Tisket and Tasket here.
