About

Minneapolis Animal Care & Control (MACC) welcomes all animals.

Some animals come to us with an injury, illness or behavioral issue. When that happens, we place the animals with one of our approved rescue partners. These groups provide excellent care. 

When a rescue group determines the animal we place with them is healthy, they list it for adoption. These animals will not appear on MACC's list of adoptable pets.
