Adopt and Foster Urgent Dogs - Saturday (10AM - 4PM; Arrive by 3pm)

🚨 Urgent: Community members - Adopters and fosters are needed to save 16 dogs on the latest urgent list by Tuesday, 5/5. 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 4/30 PM: Up to 15 dogs need adopters and fosters! Dakota may have placement. Check for updates at the Facebook link.  

🐶 Adopters: Please go to the shelter today from 10am to 4pm (arrive by 3pm). 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.
