PG&nbsp;County Animal Shelter post - April 20th:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=998160912891013" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=998160912891013</a>&nbsp;"Pardon our dust&hellip; but the lifesaving work doesn&rsquo;t stop.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As renovations begin at the Prince George&rsquo;s County Animal Services Facility and Adoption Center, space for dogs will be temporarily limited due to closures in key areas like Intake and Placement. But there&rsquo;s a powerful way you can help right now&hellip;
Become a foster hero.By opening your home for just a few weeks, you&rsquo;re giving a dog a safe, low-stress environment while helping us continue to serve animals in need during construction.
Fostering means: &bull; Providing a loving temporary home &bull; Helping us maintain lifesaving capacity &bull; Making a real difference&mdash;one dog at a time
Program Details: &bull; Approximately 4-week commitment &bull; Full support from Animal Services staff &bull; Perfect for individuals or families ready to make a short-term impact
&ldquo;These upgrades are an investment in the future of our facility and our community,&rdquo; shared leadership. &ldquo;In the meantime, fostering is one of the most meaningful ways residents can step in and support.&rdquo;
