Adopt
Find Your Family Member
Every animal here is looking for the same thing: a home, and someone to belong to.
Adoption is handled directly through Milton's Animal Control shelter, run by the Town, where the team gets to know each animal so they can help match them with the right home.

Doc Holliday & Wyatt Earp
Meet Susie Q! This young girl has already been through a lot in her short life.
She was found in a woodpile trying to care for and protect her 4 kittens .
Right now she can be very shy, but with patience and letting her know she is safe , she will warm up.
We think she would do best with another cat in the home.
If you are interested in meeting Susie Q please get in touch.

Meet Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp!
These two partners came to us after sadly losing their owner, and we’d love to see them find a new home together.
Doc, the big orange guy, can be shy at first, but once he warms up, you’ll be rewarded with the sweetest head bumps as he asks for pets.
Doc is also Wyatt’s emotional support cat. Wyatt only ever knew one person, so the world feels a little scary to him right now. He’s getting comfortable with us being in the room, though he isn’t ready to be touched just yet. With time and patience, we believe he’ll warm up too, and having Doc by his side makes all the difference.
This dynamic duo would do best in a calm home with people happy to let them settle in at their own pace.

Meet Lucy! 1-year-old spayed female, mixed breed
Lucy was found as a stray, emaciated and severely anemic.
Since then, she's nearly doubled her weight and her bloodwork has improved dramatically.
Lucy loves people, and lights up with everyone she meets at the shelter.
The shelter is a controlled, safe environment where we set our animals up for success, and every positive experience builds Lucy's trust and confidence.
She can be nervous around other dogs, which comes from fear rather than aggression. We're working on this with supervised walks alongside her shelter buddy Ralphie, and recommend a good basic obedience or reactive dog class to continue that progress once she's adopted, we're happy to point you toward one.

Meet Angus! This beautiful boy is ready to find his perfect person.
Angus experienced real trauma in the early stages of his young life. He came to us with a horrific leg injury, emaciated and fighting infection, and against the odds, he pulled through.
Today, nothing slows him down. He’s fast on three legs, loves a game of ball, and has an irrepressible, playful personality.
Because of his rocky start in life, Angus needs an experienced, adult-only home with people who understand that trust is built with patience, consistency, and routine.
For the right person, Angus will give back all the love and loyalty in the world.

Sushi would do best as the only pet in the home, where she can have all your attention to herself.

What to Expect
- Email the shelter to request an application for the animal you're interested in
- Your application is reviewed, and if approved, a meet-and-greet is scheduled
- Meet the animal in person at the shelter, by appointment
- A short conversation with the team about your home and lifestyle, so the match is right for both of you
Before You Adopt
Congratulations on wanting to give a stray, neglected, or unwanted animal a real second chance. Before you adopt, it's worth understanding what that commitment looks like:
- Pets are like babies: they cry, chew, get into things, and have accidents. You wouldn't give up on a child for that, so make sure you're ready to commit to your new family member the same way.
- Pets aren't disposable. They're not something to give up on once the novelty wears off.
- Make sure you have the time and space for a pet, and if you rent, your landlord's permission first.
- Adopting is a long-term commitment. Many dogs live to 15, and indoor cats well into their twenties.
- Shelter dogs are often not housebroken, having spent long hours in kennels, even previously trained dogs may need a refresher.
- Most shelter dogs haven't had formal training. That part's on you once they're home.
- Check that no one in your household has allergies before bringing your pet home.
- Animals are a big responsibility: feeding, grooming, vet care, exercise, and play, every day.
- Puppies grow up. That cute little puppy may become a large dog, so know the breed.
- The average adjustment period for a shelter animal is 3 to 6 months. Don't give up on them, they truly want to be part of your family, they just need you to show them how.
- Every shelter animal has been through something. They need love, attention, patience, and training to heal from it.
In return, you'll get unconditional love and companionship. Not a bad deal.
After You Adopt
Adopting is the beginning, not the end. MAL helps post-adoption support, behavioral resources, and the ongoing rehabilitation work that gets animals ready for a home in the first place.
