Opportunities include walking and socializing dogs, spending time with cats, feeding and cleaning, and helping with office support.
To attend an orientation, RSVP 48 hours before the session by emailing asdcommunityoutreach@co.pg.md.us.
As the University of Maryland (UMD) semester comes to an end, thank you to the students who volunteered with us throughout winter and spring.
Your help—walking dogs, petting cats, cleaning, and spending time with the animals- truly makes a difference. Social and mental enrichment keeps shelter pets engaged, reduces stress, and boosts their confidence, helping them stay happy and adoptable.
Every moment you spend helps them thrive. If your group wants to schedule a dog walking or volunteer session, contact us at asdcommunityoutreach@co.pg.md.us. Spend a day with our animals and make a lasting impact! Your time creates happy paws and brighter hearts.
Thank you to all our wonderful group dog walking volunteers and civic groups who generously spend their time with us!

Spring has officially arrived, ushering in the start of kitten season! As this special time of year brings an influx of adorable whiskered arrivals, we are seeking dedicated bottle-baby kitten fosters to provide these vulnerable little ones with the round-the-clock care they need to thrive.
Thank you for helping us spread the word and supporting lifesaving foster care in our community. Your involvement makes a real difference for these kittens! If you are interested in volunteering, please email asdcommunityoutreach@co.pg.md.us.
The Whisker Patrol Barn Cat Program, an innovative initiative that provides humane rodent control while allowing unsocialized shelter cats to thrive in safe outdoor environments, is now available in Prince George's County.
Barn cats are independent and not suited for indoor homes, but thrive outdoors in barns, farms, warehouses, and other properties. The Whisker Patrol program places them to control rodents, with property owners providing regular care.
To help support this program, we are also accepting new or gently used items for the cats, including:
- Large & XL dog crates
- Food & water bowls
- Litter pans
- Cat dens
Every item helps barn cats find their perfect home and a fresh start.
Please drop off your donations in our lobby at 3750 Brown Station Road, Upper Marlboro, MD.
For more information, visit www.princegeorgespets4us.com.

By opening your home, you can offer:
- A warm, loving environment for pets to rest and recover.
