Exciting news! Please welcome our new leadership, and join us in the important work of bettering the lives of Prince George’s County’s cats and dogs!

Sad stats, especially from our county. https://patch.com/maryland/columbia/s/iymh1/8-000-cats-dogs-killed-md-animal-shelters-last-year-data

While only the dogs will be allowed in the water, we encourage everyone to come out and watch the fun. Dog owners can bring up to two dogs to the dive-in. Dogs

34 dogs on this week’s euthanasia list at PG County’s municipal animal shelter. Almost 75% of them are labeled as “pit bull type”.

If the county’s pit bull ban was working, wouldn’t there be FEWER pit bull type dogs?

Why must PG County taxpayers pay to impound, house, treat, feed AND KILL these dogs again and again?

PG streets are no safer, the shelter is constantly overcrowded, and it’s costing $$$ with no improvement. FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

If you live in PG County, tell your elected representatives to spend your money more responsibly and more humanely. (Photo list from PB Proud)

Today we’re sending a thankful shout-out to all the rescuers, donors, supporters, and helpers who improve this world for the animals. Happy Mother’s Day!

The local animal rescue community lost a wonderful soul this week. Yvonne Thibault-Curry has labored tirelessly for years helping area animals, especially at the county shelter. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to her family and all who loved her.

We’ve been getting lots of questions about the sad events at the shelter yesterday (reported in the post below from another rescue group) and unfortunately, some people have been confused about our group’s identity and mission. We are an all-volunteer group working to improve the lives of the county’s animals. We try to work with the Animal Services Division, but we do not run the PG County animal shelter. We encourage all who are concerned to contact the County Executive (Angela Alsobrooks) and your County Council representative.

Adopt, don’t shop!

One Lee County family wants everyone to think twice before taking a puppy home. Now, they're taking the store they got theirs from to court.

Yay for Miss Lazze!!

We mourn with Jon for all the good boys (and girls) we’ve loved and lost. And especially for all the dogs (and cats) who don’t have a safe home.

Good news in Upper Marlboro today.

The Prince George's County Animal Shelter (Prince George’s County Animals Services Facility and Adoption Center or ASFAC) will reopen to the public during regular hours on Saturday, January 20, 2024. This marks ten days from the last emergence of symptoms reported due to Streptococcus Zooepidemicus, also known as Strep Zoo. The facility has been closed since January 4, when the illness began impacting dogs.

Veterinary medical professional expertise continues to drive operations and best practices at ASFAC in reducing the spread of bacterial respiratory infections while providing much-needed pet services to the community.

For more information on adopting or fostering a pet, contact (301) 780-7200 or visit www.princegeorgespets4us.com.

Here’s a little merriment for your Monday. We should all be so happy with a little scrap of fluff. We guarantee there are outdoor kittens near you who need your help. Adopt. Volunteer. Donate. Speak up. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

It’s kitten season and grimy/sick/hungry cuties are popping up all over. If they survive, they’ll be making more kittens later this year! Don’t just walk on by. Adopt. Volunteer. Donate. Speak up. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Finding a forever home

At the beginning of the year, the shelters can get full. It's the perfect time to give one of these pets a home. Check out the pets we have available at https://www.pgspca.org/adopt/adoptable-animals-2/

Today’s happy holiday story is about Lazarus, a longtime feral with infected bite wounds, dental problems, and ingrown claws. (See the comments for a “before” pic.) The poor boy climbed to the 4th floor and was crying at apartment doors. Our volunteer called for help and Laurel Cats, Inc. didn’t hesitate. After lots of expensive vet care and TLC, Lazarus is healthy and happy and loving indoor life. Lucky Lazarus.

Poor Snowflake, a 20-yr old calico whose owner died, was living alone and so sad. Every few days someone would drop by to feed her, but her owner’s family couldn’t keep her. We were asked to help find a new home for her and we’re delighted to report a Christmas miracle! A loving rescuer with a penchant for seniors has taken Snowflake in and we couldn’t be more delighted. Happy holidays from Snowflake!

It’s Giving Tuesday and the kittens are hungry! (Always! 🤣) With your support we can do more. Donate through Meta or at our website (URL in comments). Thank you!!

We hope you find everything you’re looking for, especially if what you’re looking for are KITTENS! Come see them at our adoption event tomorrow at Calverton Petsmart. Saturday Nov 12, noon to 2 PM

Can you believe kitten season still isn’t over!? We have several adoptables listed on our website and we need fosters too!

Good morning! Who needs help relaxing on this hump day? (Volume up!) Who can resist a lap cat who enjoys bellyrubs? We have two! Spock (a gorgeous black polydactyl) and his brother McCoy (brown and golden tabby) are affectionate purr machines and expert biscuit-makers in need of a forever home. Please spread the word.

Have you had enough cat time today? Elora and her siblings are ready to give you your Recommended Daily Allowance of feline affection. (See comments for our website, where our adoptables are listed.)

Small but mighty!

Our thanks to Laurel Cats, Inc. and Puddy Cats Rescue Inc. for saving this sweet boy Sir Oxon, who’s living his best life in foster care. Rescue is tough, but this makes it all worth it!

Making a Difference for Local Animals

For more than 40 years, our all-volunteer group has labored tirelessly to improve the lives of the animals in Prince George’s County. We opened the county’s first low-cost spay/neuter clinic in 2001 and we’ve altered more than 22,000 pets there (most for free) and provided low-cost vaccinations to tens of thousands. We rescue and rehome at-risk dogs and cats from the PG County shelter. We operate a 24-hour hotline for reporting animal cruelty and neglect. We also provide outreach and assistance to the pet-owning community. You can help us make a difference. Adopt. Volunteer. Donate. Speak up. www.pgspca.org, 301-262-5625
