MCACC is asking for people to come and foster dogs that are 30+ pounds to give them a much-needed break from the shelter.

MCACC says the return time for the pups is Sunday, 11/27 from noon to 4 p.m., however, people are welcome to keep them as long as they want, as long as they communicate with MCACC.

These sweet dogs are over 30 pounds and are looking to take a break from the shelter.
