Free Pet Adoptions At Montgomery County Animal Shelter

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — If you're looking to adopt a pet, here's a great chance. The Montgomery County Animal Service and Adoption Center is waiving adoption fees for all animals until Oct. 25, the center said, meaning you can save up to $150.

To take advantage, go to the adoption center where you'll be interviewed and walk around the shelter to pick an animal. If everything lines up, you can take the animal home the same day.

A behavior specialist spends time with every animal they have to assess it and help ensure they're a good fit for the adopter. If you have a dog, they want you to bring it in so they can see how your current dog, and potential new dog, get along.

It's not just dogs you can take home. They've also got cats, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, geckos and rabbits.

Anybody who wants to use this free adoption program has to meet a few requirements:

• be prepared to take the animal home within 24 hours
• have a valid driver's license
• license other pets with the agency (in county residents)
• have their Rabies Vaccination Certificate (out of county residents)
• pet addendum portion of lease (renters only)

My Montgomery County Media published a YouTube video with details about the adoption event:
