General Contact Information
We do not have a shelter so we do not have specific "business hours" or times when we can meet with you. However, our volunteers are very flexible and will get back with you within 3 business days after any inquiry or request. If you are interested in meeting one of our animals, we will work with you to find a time that works for both parties. If you'd like to meet a specific animal at an event, please let us know in advance so we can try to make arrangements for him or her to be present.

Interested in One of Our Adoptables?
If you are interested in one of our adoptable animals, please contact the Adoption Consultant for that animal directly. This information is listed in each animal's profile on Our Adoptable Pets page.
Need help with an animal?
If you have an animal you are not able to care for any longer, we may be able to help. Because we are unable to accept every animal into our organization, we offer several options to help you.
Option 1: Assistance with current situation
If you are having behavior difficulty with an animal, we may be able to help you find a solution or additional training that would allow you to solve the problem and keep your animal in your home. Please let us know the specifics of your situation when you contact us.
Option 2: Courtesy Posting
We are glad to be able to offer to you a "courtesy posting" for your pet on our Petfinder site (http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/OH359.html). You will provide information about your pet and we'll put it on this site that draws hundreds of potential adopters every week. You will be the contact for your pet and will do all the screening of people who express an interest in your animal. MHAF will not be responsible for any aspects of the adoption or the courtesy posting. You will need to let us know when you've found a new home for your pet so we can remove the posting. If we do not hear from you within 30 days of the courtesy posting, it will be removed from our site.
If you would like us to do a courtesy posting for you, please send us an email with the following information about your pet:
- Age
- Breed
- Health status: Is your animal spayed or neutered? Is s/he up to date on vaccinations? Is s/he on heartworm medication or flea prevention?
- Is your animal housebroken or litterbox trained?
- Is your animal crate trained?
- What commands does your pet know?
- What tricks does your pet know?
- Is your pet good with kids? Is your pet good with people in general?
- Is your pet good with cats? Is your pet good with dogs?
- What do you like most about your pet? Describe the good qualities of your animal.
- Does your animal have any special needs?
- Dogs - does your pet walk well on a leash?
- Cats - is your cat declawed?
We will also need 1-3 pictures of your pet and your contact information.
Please send an email with all of the information above to Patty at: patty@mhaf.com and we will post your information within 72 hours.
Option 3: Owner Surrender
We may be able to take your animal into our organization; which means that we would take the animal into one of our foster homes and assume all responsibility for the animal's care and all steps of the adoption. This option is only available as we have foster homes open, or it may be available if you are able to foster the animal until a permanent home is found. This option also usually requires a "surrender" fee to help us cover the costs of any care your animal will need.
If you would like to surrender your animal to MHAF, the first step is to fill out the appropriate forms that will tell us about your animal. Click here for the feline form or click here for the canine form. Once you submit the form to us, a representative will contact you within 3 business days to follow up.
If you still have additional questions once you complete the form, please contact Patty at: patty@mhaf.com.
