Adopt and Foster Urgent Dogs Tuesday (11AM - 7PM; Arrive by 5:30PM)

Adopt and Foster Urgent Dogs Tuesday (11AM - 7PM; Arrive by 5:30PM)

🚨 Urgent: Community members - Adopters and fosters are needed to save 13 dogs on the latest urgent list by today, 1/13. They all need to be adopted or have rescue commitment, and have to leave the shelter by today (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 1/13 AM: Up to 13 dogs still need adopters and fosters! Rescues are interested in helping and need fosters to save them. Check for updates at the Facebook links.

🐶 Adopters: Please go to the shelter today between 11am and 7pm (arrive by 5:30pm or no later than 6pm) to meet and adopt urgent dogs. Adopters are able to meet 2 dogs and bring dogs for meet and greets. If anyone is going to adopt them, please comment on their pages in the linked album.

*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. Here are some of the rescues seeking fosters.

Perfectly Paired Pitties - P3: Rabbit, Ghost, OR Remi
Furever Home Animal Rescue: Deuce
Happy Go Lucky Mastiff Rescue: Legolass
Wiggles Way: Lambchop

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