For your moment, we’re sharing an update on one of our former adoptables, Anna!

When Anna first came to HART, she was super shy and a bit hesitant around new people. But after some TLC in our Adoption Wing, she started to come out of her shell and found her forever home in March!

Her new family just sent us the sweetest update:

“She is my best friend!! Incredibly smart, surprisingly quiet...she has only barked three times since she came home. Loves everybody, enjoys playing with our cat, who isn't quite as thrilled as Anna lol but he tolerates her...she's definitely a true blessing to our family.”

Congrats to Anna and her amazing new family! Huge thanks to her adopters for giving her a loving home, and opening their home to a pet in need.

We absolutely love getting updates on our former adoptables! If you’ve adopted a pet from HART, we’d love to hear from you! Send us an email at [email protected] with some pics and an update on your furry friend!

Meet Barbie!

This sweet Shepherd mix has been with us at HART since February, and she's ready to find her forever home!

Barbie is about a year old and full of love and energy. She was found as a stray, so we don't know much about her past, but we do know she's a total sweetheart. She loves playing with big dogs and is super affectionate with people.

Barbie is doing great with her housebreaking and would be a perfect fit for a family with kids 8 years and older. Just a heads up, she's not a fan of cats.

If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion, Barbie is your girl! Come meet her and see if she's the missing piece to your family puzzle. Click here to view Barbie's profile and apply to adopt her today: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/barbie-71036495/md/accident/hart-for-animals-inc-md439/

Today, we're sending out a big thank you to the Sikarskie family! They set up a lemonade stand and donated the proceeds to us at HART! Not only that, but they also volunteer in our Reading Buddies program, spending time reading to our adoptable dogs and cats. Their efforts help socialize our furry friends and get them ready for their forever homes. Thank you, Sikarskie family, for your incredible support and kindness!

Here’s your tip!

With the 4th of July coming up, remember that fireworks can be super scary for our furry friends. If your pet gets anxious with loud noises, make sure to bring them to the Bredel Clinic before July 3rd for some extra care to make sure they stay comfortable and happy during the holiday.

Also, consider getting your pet microchipped! Many pets run away or get lost because of the fireworks, and a microchip can be a lifesaver. It’s a quick and easy procedure that can help bring your fur family member home safely.

Let’s keep our pets safe and sound this summer! Call us today at 301.387.7729 to schedule your pet's appointment,

06/18/2024

Hey pet parents! With summer in full swing and the days getting warmer, it's crucial to keep your furry companions safe and comfortable. We all know how quickly cars can turn into scorching ovens, putting our beloved companions at serious risk.

So let's paw-se for a moment and remember these cool tips to keep our pups safe and happy during the dog days of summer:

Beat the Heat - Plan your outings like a pro - hit the road before that sun gets too high or after it starts to set. Your pup will thank you for avoiding those peak heat hours!
H2O on the Go - Hydration is key! Pack a portable water bowl and keep that fresh, cool water flowing for your thirsty pup.
Shady Spots - If you must make a quick stop, seek out those shady parking spots.
Paw-some Pals - Whenever possible, bring along a trusted friend or family member to keep your furry pal company while you run those quick errands.

Let's make this a summer to remember, filled with wagging tails and happy paws!

And remember, our furry friends are counting on us to keep them cool, comfy, and loved all season long. Stay paw-some out there!

June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, and we’re shining a light on one of our sweetest feline friends, Ross!

Meet Ross, our longest resident in the cattery. This lovey-dovey boy has watched many of his friends find their forever homes, and now it's his turn! Ross is the ultimate cuddle buddy who loves giving hugs and soaking up all the attention he can get.

Ross has a chronic sneeze due to an untreated upper respiratory infection that damaged his sinus cavity. But don’t let that deter you—he’s not contagious to other cats and has so much love to give! Because of his condition and age, we’re waiving the adoption fee to help him find a family with a big heart.

Ross’s purr-sonality: Friendly, Affectionate, Loyal, Gentle, Smart, Curious, Funny, Quiet, Couch Potato

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will fill your home with love and laughter, Ross is your guy! Let’s find this sweet boy the forever home he deserves. Click here to view his profile: https://www.petfinder.com/cat/ross-71976292/md/accident/hart-for-animals-inc-md439/

Feel free to share and help Ross find his family!

Kicking off our afternoon with a moment! Today, we’re thrilled to share an update on our former adoptable, Esmeralda, now known as Maggie!

Adopted from HART in May, Maggie is thriving in her new home! She even has a new fur brother named Titan, and they’re becoming the best of buds. They love hiking and cuddling together, and Maggie has been a great new sister, she’s even helped Titan to come out of his shell. Check out the adorable pictures of the two of them on their adventures!

Maggie is the talk of the town, attending her new family's baseball games and socializing with other dogs and children. She’s also enjoying lots of playtime with her neighbor’s kids and pups!

Congratulations on your new home, Maggie! Wishing you a lifetime of adventures and tail-wagging fun! Thank you so much to her adopter for giving her a loving forever home!

Meet Mighty Maddox! This adorable pup has been with us at HART for about two months and is ready to find a family of his own.

Are you searching for a lovable and energetic companion? Look no further! Maddox is a 9-month-old German Shepherd mix, eager to steal your heart.

Maddox is full of energy and excitement, but he missed out on proper training as a small puppy. However, don't let that discourage you! We have an amazing offer for his future adopter.

Due to an abnormal gait caused by a bone cyst on his front leg, Maddox's adoption fee is now HALF OFF! But that's not all! We are also offering three FREE training sessions with the incredible Scott Holliday at K9 Solutions in Grantsville, MD, to help with Maddox's training.

Maddox is a sweet and smart boy who deserves a loving home. If you're ready to give him the love and care he needs, he will reward you with endless loyalty and affection.

Huge shoutout to the amazing 6th and 7th grade students at Calvary Christian Academy - Garrett Campus!

As part of their language arts class with the awesome Ms. Megan Henry, they organized a lemonade stand fundraiser, with proceeds benefiting HART for Animals and their school. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, they successfully raised funds for both causes!

Because of the students' efforts, they were able to purchase a paver that will be proudly displayed at the HART center as part of our matching funds opportunity. The inscription the students chose for their paver is Job 12:10: "In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind," along with their schools initials "CCAGC".

Special thanks to HART Board Member Ann Smith for her incredible generosity in providing matching funds! Anyone can purchase a paver in honor or memory of a loved one for $250, with Ann matching the other $250.

Way to go, future leaders! Your kindness and teamwork are truly inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work!

Hey everyone, it's fawn season!

Just a friendly reminder to keep an eye out for baby animals when you're out on the roads. If you see a doe dart across, there's a good chance a little fawn might be trailing behind.

Let's all drive a bit more carefully and help keep our wildlife safe. Thanks for looking out!
