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".

Meet Jelly; trust us, she's the extra sweet kind. She may be a little seasoned at 7 years old, but she has tons of that pup energy.

Jelly is full of s***k, kisses and has a love for making new friends. She'll be your tornado of joy. Jelly has done well with respectful children and is most definitely up for a meet and greet with your pup.

Ms. Jelly was recently scheduled for an MCT (Mast Cell Tumor) removal. However, while under sedation, four more masses were noticed, three of which were also identified as MCTs.

This frosty-faced queen is looking for a place to call home and a family to claim for the remainder of her time here - however long that may be.

We know this is a hard ask for anyone to consider, but we also know this girl deserves the best in her final stages of life. Are you the peanut butter she needs?

Jelly comes with the backing of a dog trainer who would be available to help with transition questions or with any issues that may arise.
