Adopt and Foster Urgent Dogs - Friday (11AM - 7PM; Arrive by 6PM)

🚨 Urgent: Community members - Adopters and fosters are needed to save 20 dogs on the latest urgent list by Tuesday, 12/23. 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. Most of these dogs need homes outside of PG County.

As of 12/18 AM: All 20 dogs need adopters and fosters! Rescues are interested and need fosters to save Gia, JoJo, and Love.. Check for updates at the Facebook links.

🐶 Adopters: Please go to the shelter between 11am and 7pm (arrive by 6pm) on Friday, or between 10am and 4pm (arrive by 4pm) on Saturday, to meet and adopt urgent dogs. Adopters are able to meet 2 dogs and bring dogs for meet and greets.

*In order to apply to adopt a “terrier mix”, you must provide two original documents with matching addresses as proof of residency outside of PG County (due to breed specific legislation.)

🐶 Prospective fosters: Please apply to rescue partners, or with the shelter for certain dogs, to become a foster and save a life. Urgent dogs have to be fostered through a rescue, but certain dogs may be fostered through the shelter for this list. See the Friends' post for rescues seeking fosters for these dogs. Fostering is usually free with a rescue.

Please see bios, photos, and videos of the urgent dogs at these links and share posts with friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers.
