While MCHS operated the public shelter for Montgomery County for more than 50 years, we became a completely independent, 100% privately funded animal welfare organization in April 2014. Our rescue specializes in rescuing, caring for and adopting out cats, dogs, puppies and kittens.
In addition, MCHS offers a robust educational curriculum which includes programs for children, teens and adults. We offer micro-chipping and registration and host a range of community outreach programs designed to help pet owners keep their pets in their homes and out of shelters. Our affordable spay/neuter clinic launched summer 2019, bringing another vital service to Montgomery County dog and cat owners.
