Bowie Pet Lovers: Adoption Fees Reduced for Adopt-a-Dog Month

October is the perfect month to bring home a new dog in Prince George’s County. The Department of the Environment Animal Management Division is celebrating Adopt-a-Dog Month.

Throughout October, adoption fees at the County’s Animal Services Facility, 3750 Brown Station Road, Upper Marlboro, is reduced to $125 -- originally $225.

“Every dog has their day and we’re hoping that today is that day!” says Rodney Taylor, associate director of the Animal Management Division. “During our month-long Adopt-a-Dog celebration, we encourage you to stop by our facility to see the big dogs and small puppies that are waiting to become loveable additions to your family.”

To view dogs and other animals available for adoption, visit the Animal Services Facility website.

Adoption hours are:

• Wednesday: 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
• Saturday: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The facility is closed on Thursday, Sunday and holidays.
