Every Paw Counts

Rescuing, protecting, and advocating for the animals of Montague County.

Our Mission Statement

At MCARES, we rescue neglected animals, promote care, support owners, and educate our rural community. Together, we’re building a county where tails wag and every paw matters.

Give to MCares

Montague County Animal Rescue (a.k.a MCares) depends on donations to fund vital care, supplies, and outreach. Every gift helps animals at the shelter and beyond.

Volunteer with Us!

Whether you're walking dogs, cleaning kennels, or simply giving a pup some much-needed love and attention, your time helps create a safer, happier environment while supporting the shelter’s mission to find every dog a loving home.

Make your home paw-fect — adopt today!

Adoption Policy: Montague County Animal Rescue typically does not adopt dogs to homes where they will live primarily outdoors. We believe every dog deserves to be part of the family and live safely indoors. Exceptions may be made for specific breeds or unique circumstances where an outdoor environment is appropriate and secure.

Our Vision

A rural community where animal neglect is no longer tolerated, dumped dogs are a thing of the past, and every citizen is part of the solution.
