Maclean-Cameron Animal Adoption Center

The Maclean-Cameron Animal Adoption Center is a privately run, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization receiving no funding from tax dollars or government entities. The mission is to foster a caring community for animals by providing shelter, advancing animal welfare, and promoting the bond between animals and humans through innovative programs, education and service. Building the Center was a long-range goal for the Animal Foundation of Great Falls, founded in 2002 by a group of dedicated volunteers. The facility was built in August of 2015 and named in honor of Margaret J. Maclean, whose estate gave $400,000 in matching funds to the Animal Foundation. The match was successfully met in the fall of 2005. Maclean was raised on a family farm and ranch west of Conrad; she died in 1997 at the age of 83. David and Tanya Cameron first gave to the Animal Foundation of Great Falls in February of 2005. From February 2005 to April 2017, the Cameron’s gifts totaled approximately $175,000. Then, in January of 2018, they made a gift as a family, in conjunction with Dave’s sister, Nancy Cameron, of nearly $580,000 to the Center’s GOOD (Get Out of Debt) capital campaign. As a result of this gift, the Maclean Animal Adoption Center was renamed Maclean-Cameron Animal Adoption Center (a DBA of the Animal Foundation of Great Falls).

Enhancing Compassion Through Education Established in 2002 by a group of dedicated volunteers, the Maclean-Cameron Animal Adoption Center is committed to fostering a caring community for animals by providing shelter, advancing animal welfare, and promoting the bond between animals and humans through innovative programs, education and service.
