Shelter is Critical - Please Adopt!
Thank you to our community for assisting us in placing our shelter pets.
We had a successful weekend adopting out our pets, however, the Prince George's County Animal Services and Adoption Facility is still in CRITICAL need of finding loving, FURever homes for its dogs, especially its larger and senior dogs.
Without your IMMEDIATE help, we face the heart-wrenching possibility of finding alternative solutions for healthy, adoptable dogs awaiting their best friend.
Our Animal Services Facility is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, Tuesday – Friday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (please arrive one hour prior to closing) and Sunday - Monday 12 p.m.- 4 p.m. (open for all services except adoptions).

Lassie (A529282) is a gorgeous two-year-old Siberian Husky mix still learning all the world has to offer. Life in a busy kennel is not her favorite — and who can blame her? She gets a little vocal and excited with all the dogs walking by her door. But once you get her outside, Lassie (A529282) relaxes and shows her softer, quieter side.
Lassie (A529282) is looking for a calm, patient adopter who understands the needs of Huskies and can help her blossom at her own pace. Could that be you?

Learn what it takes to be a responsible pet owner and a great family host to a four-legged friend for its lifetime. Topics such as time, cost, food, toys, medical, safety, social, and more will be covered with Q&A.
Classes will meet the first Saturday of each month at 12 p.m., throughout 2025!

Be Sure to Microchip Your Pets
Keep your furry friends safe by ensuring they are microchipped. Microchips are small transponders implanted under your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. They provide an extra form of identification if your pet loses their collar and tag while missing. If your pet ends up at a veterinary clinic or an animal shelter, staff will scan your pet for a microchip and contact the brand the chip is registered under to get your contact information. Pets with microchips are more likely to be returned to their owners!

If you have found a stay animal, fill out a FOUND report at
Pet Fostering Saves Lives
