Medical Treatment
Getting the animals out of the facility and into homes is critical to getting them in the best position to succeed in the long term. Releasing treated animals after the appropriate period does not pose a health threat to the community.
To help reduce the spread of the disease in the community, ASFAC encourages pet owners to keep their pets updated on vaccines, avoid communal water bowls, and seek medical advice from a veterinarian if any symptoms like a cough or runny nose develop or worsen.
Kittens
The ASFAC has a large group of kitten-bottle babies that will be legally adoptable once they are eight weeks old. They need fosters to take them in for two to four weeks. Most of the infant kittens can eat solid food. Interested fosters can contact fosterpgcpets@co.pg.md.us for more information.
Surrender a Pet
Pet owners seeking to surrender a pet are encouraged to consider rehoming it with family and friends first or contact one of our County-approved rescue organizations to see if they can accept your pet.

Lost Pets
You can search for lost animals at our shelter if you've lost a pet.
Donations Needed
We need monetary donations, pet supplies, Kuranda beds for our doggie friends, and KMR milk and bottles for our kittens. Thank you for your generosity!
Kuranda Beds
We strongly encourage donations of Kuranda beds of all sizes for our doggie friends. There are lots of benefits for pets sleeping on Kuranda Beds, including:
- Kuranda Beds are the superior choice in shelters and rescues due to their durability and the added protection of a 1-Year Chew Proof Warranty.
- Shelters prefer Kuranda beds since they are easy to clean and sanitize, minimizing the spread of infectious diseases.
- The elevated sleep surface helps regulate body temperature in warmer and cooler months.
- The orthopedic design alleviates pressure points on joints.
- Quality sleep reduces stress, keeping animals healthy and feeling good while awaiting their forever homes.
KMR Milk
Sizes and amounts of KMR milk and bottles for underage kittens are included in our wishlist.
Pet Supplies & Monetary Donations
We also run low on enrichment items, such as toys and treats, critter supplies, kennel supplies, and leashes for volunteers and staff. Check out our:
