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".

PENDING ❤️

Meet Rubble and Rocky! 🧡

These two Guinea pigs JUST arrived. They were surrendered by a family who was no longer able to care for them. Some much needed TLC would mean a lot to these guys.

Rubble is tan and white, and he is around 7 years old.
Rocky is brown and white, and he is around 5 years old.

The owner stated these two are bonded. One of them is already neutered.

Please message or call if you are interested! We would love to find them a new home ASAP.

We're only two weeks away from The Dog Days of Summer!

Native Maryland childrens' book author Miranda Mittleman will be bringing her dog Weaver and sharing her Paws and Think books with us. Every child in attendance will go home with a book.

The Allegany County Animal Shelter will be in attendance, and Big Dogs Deli from Grantsville will be providing dinner for everyone. We've also asked our friends at the FSU Children's Literacy Center to come down and share some of the wonderful things they're going to be doing for local families in the coming school year.

As always, everything is free for all families in attendance, courtesy of community schools COP grant funding!

‼️July 4th is quickly approaching‼️

🎆 Fireworks & Furry Friends: Keep Your Dog Safe This 4th of July! 🐾

Loud noises can be scary for pets. Here’s how to help your dog stay calm and safe:

🐶 Keep Them Indoors
Even in a fenced yard, frightened dogs can panic and escape.

🔒 Secure All Doors & Windows
Make sure your home is escape-proof before the fireworks begin.

🎶 Create a Calm Environment
Play white noise or calming music to help drown out the noise.

🏠 Provide a Safe Space
Set up a cozy area with their bed, toys, and blankets.

🆔 Update Their Tags & Microchip Info
In case they get loose, updated info helps get them home faster.

🚫 Never Take Them to Fireworks Shows
Crowds, lights, and loud noises can be overwhelming and dangerous.

💊 Ask Your Vet About Calming Aids
Some pets may benefit from anxiety medications or natural supplements.

Your dog counts on you to keep them safe—make this a stress-free celebration!

🚛🐾 A HUGE Thank You to Tractor Supply! 🐾🚛

We are incredibly grateful to Tractor Supply for their generous donation of food to the Allegany County Animal Shelter! Thanks to your kindness, our dogs will be well-fed and taken care of — and that’s no small thing when you’re supporting as many pups as we do!

Your support means the world to us and the animals who rely on this community every single day. 💛

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Timbrook Nissan and Timbrook Kia for hosting the First Annual Adopt and Shop event. It was a highly successful day for both them and us! Many, many cars were sold and adoption applications were submitted. We would also like to thank Magic 100.5 for providing the entertainment and all of our supporters who bought raffle tickets and test drove vehicles. The winners' gift cards will be mailed tomorrow. They were generously donated by local businesses including Patrick's Pub, D'Atris LaVale, Oscar's, Fratelli's and Puccini, along with free oil change and detailing gift cards donated by the Timbrook group. Finally, we always want to show appreciation to our volunteers who proudly showcase our amazing animals at these events. They spend a great deal of time with our pups and are able to "sell" them based on the lifestyles/needs of potential adopters. It was a great day, and we look forward to next year's event with Timbrook. When you're out shopping for vehicles or out to dinner, please remember the businesses that so generously support our community.
