Kringle is a resilient guy who appreciates every bit of attention and love he receives. Rick Buttery, shelter Director, says nothing makes Kringle happier than curling up in a blanket, chewing on toys, and taking naps. This boy loves people, enjoys cuddling, and is easy to walk on a leash. He is calm, gentle, affectionate, and will make a very loyal companion!
If Kringle could talk, he might tell us what happened before the Animal Control Officer rescued him. He had marks around his neck and other skin issues that required medicated baths. Kringle has every reason to distrust people, yet he loves unconditionally. This good boy is ready for a home where he will receive all the love and care he did not receive prior to coming to the shelter. If you can provide that for him, scan the QR code beside his picture and apply to adopt him now!
The dogs have thoroughly enjoyed all the gifts they have received through the Tractor Supply Company Shelter Dog Angel Tree, Amazon Wishlist, and those who have brought items to the shelter. The shelter team would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season! Your kindness and support have made all the difference for the shelter dogs and the dedicated team that cares for them. We look forward to continuing the lifesaving mission in 2026!
Adoption Information
All dogs adopted from Mason County Animal Shelter are spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated with flea and 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! Sponsors for the adoption fee for any of the shelter’s dogs are welcome! Contact the shelter for information!
Prospective adopters need to fill out a short application online or at the shelter for adoption approval.

MCAS needs more volunteers and foster homes! You can foster a dog for as long as you like — a few hours, 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.
