Meet Alice! A gentle and affectionate soul who is looking for her forever family. With a calm and loving nature, Alice is the perfect companion for quiet evenings at home, snuggled up on the couch watching movies. She has a friendly and gentle spirit, offering a warm welcome to all she meets. Alice is a dog of few words, but her affectionate nature speaks volumes. She is always ready to listen and offer a comforting kiss and a loving gaze. Her gentle nature makes her the perfect pal for long walks and peaceful adventures.
Like so many of our pups Alice came to the shelter as a stray with her buddy Jasper. She is house trained, knows “sit” and with a little training would pick up the rest of her basic commands in no time! Is ready to be the spoiled little pittie princess her shelter staff knows she can be! Could you be the one to offer Alice the loving home she deserves?

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! 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 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.
