Freddie is an adorable low-rider Basset-who knows what else-mix. He is the perfect size to be a house dog. This guy is a gentleman, calm, and loves to cuddle with people! Freddie is 100% potty-trained. He always keeps his kennel clean and only does his business outside on walks. This guy is easy to walk on a leash and does not pull. He also gets along well with other dogs and children. He is the ideal dog!
Freddie is one of the most photogenic dogs we have ever seen! He gives the best smiles and always has one ear up and one down. He would look perfect on your family’s Christmas card this year! Like most of our shelter dogs, Freddie came to the shelter as a stray and was not reclaimed. If you want to give him his fur-ever home, scan the QR code beside his picture and apply to adopt him now!

Other community members, including Sheriff Ryan Swolsky, Megan Davenport, Commissioner Joe McKay, Treasurer Kim Muse, and shelter team members, are stepping up to do stunts as we reach fundraising goals.

Adoption Information:
All dogs adopted from Mason County Animal Shelter are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated with flea/tick preventatives. Adoption fees are half-priced thanks to the EnviroFlight Fur-ever Home Adoption Sponsorship Program! Adult dog adoption fees are $40, and puppy adoption fees are $60! One generous individual is willing to pay the adoption fee for a veteran to adopt a dog of their choice. Tom and Gail Wise have sponsored the adoption fees for several dogs. George’s adoption fee is sponsored by Giving Hearts and Helping Hands Ministry. Sponsors for the remainder of the adoption fee for any of the shelter’s dogs are welcome!
Adopters must complete a brief application online or at the shelter before they are approved to adopt.

MCAS needs more volunteers and foster homes! You can foster a dog for as long as you like, a few hours or a “Doggo Day Out,” a weekend, a few weeks, or longer. Volunteers can help in many ways, including walking dogs, grooming/bathing dogs, helping with playgroups, transporting, or helping at meet-and-greet events out in the community. If you want to become an MCAS volunteer and/or fosterer or sponsor a dog’s adoption fees, please call the shelter at 606-564-6067 or email animalshelter@masoncountykentucky.us.
