County's Pet Adoptathon Runs Through End of June

Help an animal find its forever home and save money in the process this month during the county’s Adoptathon.

The Prince George’s County Department of the Environment’s Animal Management Division is participating in the 21st annual Pet Adoptathon by reducing dog and cat adoption fees throughout June.

AMD’s Pet Adoptathon 2015 began June 6 and runs through June 30. During this special event, adoption fees for dogs and puppies are only $125 (normally $225). Cat and kitten adoptions are $70, and a second cat/kitten adopted at the same time is only $25. AMD joins more than 2,500 animal shelters and rescue groups in helping shelter animals find their “forever homes.”

“We’re finding new homes and loving families for our homeless pets at the Animal Services Facility. This wonderful life saving event features the best of the best of adoptable pets in this area. If you’re looking for love then look no more! From tall to short and fat to skinny, we have the perfect lifetime companion offering nothing but unconditional love,” said DoE Director Adam Ortiz in a news release.

Adoption counselors are available at the Animal Services Facility to help you find a pet that best fits your family and lifestyle. To learn more about animals available for adoption, visit the Animal Services Facility located at 3750 Brown Station Road in Upper Marlboro or view the pets online at www.princegeorgespets4us.com.
