Adopt and Foster Urgent Dogs - Fees Sponsored for Some - Friday (11AM - 7PM, Arrive by 6PM)

🚨 Urgent: Community members - Adopters and fosters are needed to save 20 dogs on the latest urgent list by Tuesday, 4/28. Adoption fees are sponsored or $0 for some of these dogs and all dogs 81+ pounds. They all need to be adopted or have rescue commitment, and have to leave the shelter by Tuesday (or after spay/neuter.) If no one saves them, they will be euthanized due to being over capacity. 

As of 4/23 PM: Up to 20 dogs need adopters and fosters! Alice is being adopted. Adoption fees are sponsored or $0 for Adele, Beauty, Coco Edi, Fern, Handsom, Myles, and all dogs 81+ pounds. 

🐶 Adopters: Please go to the shelter today and Friday between 11am to 7pm (arrive by 6pm). Adopters are able to meet 2 dogs and bring dogs for meet and greets. If anyone is going to adopt them, please comment on their pages in the linked album.

New Tip: Adopters of pit bulls and pit bull mixes: Review the new requirements and complete the Pet Parenting Certification (that takes about an hour) before going to adopt Pit Bull Terriers and specific bully-type breeds. Take a screen shot of your score.

🐶 Prospective fosters: Fosters through the shelter and rescues are needed for these dogs. Please apply with rescue partners, or with the shelter if living in Maryland, to become a foster and save a life. Fostering is usually free with a rescue. See the Friends' posts seeking fosters and rescues for dogs.
