Metro Animal Shelter

Meet Axel, a big ol’ puppy dog who is looking for a forever home. He came to the shelter as a stray, and we are guessing this sweet happy guy is 1-2 years old.

Axel recently enjoyed an overnight break from the shelter with one of our volunteers, are here is his report card:

✅ no barking
✅ lots of playing fetch in the yard
✅ loves monkey stuffies
✅ learning how to walk on a leash
✅ enjoys exploring the house
✅ loves cuddles and tummy rubs
✅ generous with puppy kisses
✅ knows the command “sit”
✅ went potty outside

We think this guy deserves an A+ for his doggy night out – what do you think?!?

Beginning today, Metro Animal Services will no longer provide animal control and sheltering services to residents in the City of Milton; Milton’s police officers will be providing these services within their city limits. If you are in the City of Milton and have an animal safety concern/nuisance, if you find a stray/injured/deceased animal, if you are missing your pet, or if you need to surrender an animal, then you will need to contact the Milton Police Department for help.

If you live in Milton and want to adopt a pet, we would love to continue to be your shelter of choice. Please check out our website to learn more about the cities we serve and how we can help you: https://metroanimalservices.org

Everyone loves a good adoption story, so our team wanted to share this special guy’s update with all of you:

“We have a dog (pandemic puppy) who we love and wanted her to have a playmate and companion, but we didn’t want to go to a breeder for another Goldendoodle.

I heard there were so many post pandemic dogs that were being surrendered to shelters. I knew this was the right path to take, I just had to be patient. So I visited shelter sites regularly for 8 months until I found Riptide (now named Frankie). He was just perfect — a 6-month-old puppy eager to be by kids and curious about other dogs.

The shelter staff was great. Incredibly helpful, a good resource for questions related to the adoption and neutering that had to happen before he came home. All the volunteers were kind and patient with my kids during the meet and greet and let them take as long as they wanted to play with him.

I’ve adopted from local shelters and humane societies before, but the experience with Metro was the best! We will continue to support you.” – Caterina
