My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Ares arrived on 6/17/2025 as a transfer from one of our rescue friends. He's a big, handsome, stocky dude with a large capacity to have fun. He's around 5 years old and appears to be a shepherd mix of some type. There could be quite a few breeds in there. He has been fully vetted. His adoption fee of $125 has been paid by one of our previous adopters!

Ares has done okay with other dogs but can play pretty rough sometimes. We think he'd do okay with a polite female dog. He's a strong dog and is pretty well mannered. He would love to be with someone who can give him the good exercise he needs. He's also pretty content to chill out on a couch with someone after playtime. He loves to play and is a big fan of playing tug with a strong rope toy. He's also very neat and keeps his kennel spotless. He is NOT a fan of cats. 

NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org.

We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South.

We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.

Additional adoption info

For dogs, there is an application form that needs to be completed a few days ahead of time, before we are able to release an animal. We review applications to make sure there is a compatible fit between adoptive home and the characteristics of the animal. Adoption fees for dogs range from $95 to $150
