Fees Waived To Adopt All Dogs At Montgomery Co. Shelter May 18-28

DERWOOD, MD — Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center will waive fees to adopt all dogs May 18 through May 28 as part of the “Love is Blooming” adoption event sponsored by Friends of Montgomery County Animals.

The Animal Services and Adoption Center is located at 7315 Muncaster Mill Road in Derwood. The shelter is filled with dogs looking for good homes.

“Spring is a great time to adopt a dog,” said Adoption Supervisor Faith Koleszar in a news release. “We hope this May promotion will encourage those considering adoption to grow their family by adopting a dog from MCASAC.”

The adoption process can be started online by filling out the adoption questionnaire and sending required documents via email. Adopters may also visit the adoption center during open hours to start the process in-person.

More information about the adoption process can be found at montgomerycountymd.gov/animalservices/adoption/howtoadopt.

Adoptions are first-come, first-served by appointment. Adopters should be prepared to take an animal home at the end of their appointment. Walk-in appointments are subject to counselor availability.

The shelter is operated by the county’s Office of Animal Services and provides sheltering and care to homeless, abused and neglected animals. It is the county’s only open-admission, municipal shelter.

Animal Services officers are available seven days a week, 24 hours each day, to investigate complaints and respond to animal emergencies.
