Save The Dogs: Adopt & Foster Dogs At Risk for Euthanasia - Tuesday (11am - 7pm, arrive by 5:30pm)

About this event

🚨 P lease help save dogs today by applying to adopt or foster! An ongoing overcrowding crisis at PG County Animal Shelter resulted in a devastating loss of 16 dogs euthanized for space one day in mid-October! More adoptable dogs were euthanized since then! There was no urgent list notice for transparency to rescue partners and community members! There is no list this week either.

These 18 dogs are at risk for euthansia today after 6pm. This page has direct links to view each dog's profile. No account is needed to view this page. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=122252562740519827

📢 Community members - Adopters and fosters are needed today for dogs! Please go meet and adopt them or apply to foster them . Dogs are at risk of being euthanized at any time only due to space. They are over capacity with dogs and need space for more dogs coming in. There is a no urgent list this week to provide a chance and have time to help save them.

🐶 Adopters: Please go to the shelter to day (11am to 7pm, arrive by 6pm). Adopters are able to meet 2 dogs and bring dogs for meet and greets.

Note: Adopters of pit bulls: Review the requirements and complete the Pet Parenting Certification (that takes about an hour) before going to adopt Pit Bull Terriers and specific bully-type breeds. Pet Parenting Certification info: environment.mypgc.us/pitbulls

🐶 Prospective fosters: Fosters through the shelter and rescues are needed for dogs and cats. Please apply with rescue partners, or contact the shelter to be a foster and save a life. The Friends of PG County Animal Shelter posts about dogs which need fosters through the shelter or otherwise through rescues. Fostering is usually free with a rescue.

Please review the shelter foster information, apply online and complete Pet Parenting Certification. Contact the shelter with the dog's name and ID. "Interested in Fostering: Email fosterpgcpets@co.pg.md.us " They allow pit bull-type dogs to be fostered in Maryland. Foster Information | Prince George's County
