If you are looking for a new dog, cat, puppy or kitten to add to your family, come to our adoption center. Not only will you find a friend for life, you will be helping a needy or unwanted animal who needs a new home. Our adoption staff strives to help you find the perfect match. Each year we adopt out over 3,000 animals to new homes, and new animals enter our adoption program daily. Our adoption center is clean and cheery and our staff is attentive and eager to help you find the right animal to adopt.

Consider welcoming an older pet into your home. A special grant has made it possible for us to waive the adoption fee on cats and dogs who are seven years of age or older. There is still a fee for licensing and micro-chipping.
Our generous Kaycee Fund donor has committed to covering the adoption fee for one dog each month in 2010.
We selected Hank, a friendly three-year-old Labrador Retriever, as our August Kaycee Fund dog. Hank was transferred to the MD SPCA from the BARCS City Shelter. His coat is in somewhat poor condition but is improving. He is eager to find his new home. Courtesy of the Kaycee Fund, there are no fees to adopt Hank, except for microchipping and licensing.
A generous donor has enabled us to establish the Bailey Fund to cover the adoption fee for one cat each month in 2010.
We chose Louie, a four-month-old kitten with an eye condition, as the August Bailey Fund cat. We have been caring for him for a month, and now he is ready to find his forever home. Thanks to the Bailey Fund, he is available at no charge except for microchipping and licensing
We have provided all the information you need on how to adopt a pet from us and included a lost and found resource center if your pet gets lost or you find a lost animal. Also we have a special section on re-homing in case you need to find a new home for a pet you already own.
Every day animals get adopted from our adoption center. They go to new, loving homes and become a member of a family. Our Alumni Tales page lets adopters share their wonderful adoption stories and lets us share them with you.
