The Allegany County Animal Shelter was the first No-Kill municipal shelter in the state of Maryland and is run by the ACAS Management Foundation. Lost animals are held 4 days until their owner brings them back home. You will see pictures of all the adoptable cats and dogs, and be informed when they find their "forever homes".

Someone be Billy’s Valentine ❣️

Billy the Kit has been at the shelter since he was surrendered in December 2023, over one year ago! The time is taking a toll on sweet Billy; he has a chronic upper respiratory from enduring the stress of shelter life. Billy dreams of living in a home where he can be loved and cared for by his forever family. He is laid-back and enjoys taking rides on shoulders or snuggling up in laps. An often overlooked kitty, Billy is one of our most loving adoptable cats. Please share to help him find his perfect someone.

A love letter from Hunter 💕:

Hello! My name is Hunter, and I spent Valentine’s Day alone. Maybe you did too? That’s okay! I’ve already started making plans for next year. Next Valentine’s Day, I’m going to be in a warm home, on a soft couch. I’m going to watch rom-coms with you and share your popcorn. I’ll spend the night curled up in your bed. In happy and sad times, I’ll be there. A gentle paw on your lap, a tennis ball in my mouth to make you smile. Let’s be best friends forever! Come see me today at the shelter.

Join us tomorrow, February 15th at 1:30 pm for dog walking orientation. 🐾

Another canine went to try his football skills out - fingers crossed for another win!

Congratulations to Mickey Robinson, winner of the $100 Lottery tickets basket raffle. We hope you scratch off a big winner! Thank you to everyone who purchased a raffle ticket. The money raised will be to support our efforts at the shelter. And thanks, Frosty for pulling the winning ticket.

Our Adoption Room cats have had a busy day of greeting visitors and are ready to chill out for the weekend. Check your schedule and plan a trip out here to see them! Not ready to adopt? They always love having someone sit with them to socialize and get some snuggles.

Anything is paw-sible with a dog by your side Why not me? Hello, I'm Cryus! I'm as sweet as honey, with a heart full of cuddles and a soul brimming with gentleness. I've lived with other dogs before, so I know how to play nice and share my toys. I'm a friendly chap, always ready to make new friends. My loyalty? It's as deep as the ocean. I've been told I have good leash manners, which makes walks in the park a delight. I’ve been told I’m the “most adorable creature “. If you're looking for a companion who will love you unconditionally, look no further. Adopt me, and together we can create a story of love and friendship.

Adopted Brazil is still searching for her home! ❤️

Just a few still available for adoption 🐾
