Pet Of The Week - 977 The Bay

At the Charles-County Animal Care Center:

Koda would like everyone to know that not all superheroes wear capes. Some wear fur, take dramatic strolls around the neighborhood, and spend their afternoons supervising the backyard from the shadiest spot available.

This 6-month-old Shepherd mix is always happy, ridiculously handsome, and currently searching for a home with comfy dog beds, plenty of walks, and a snack budget that matches his ambitions.

Koda is ready to bring his sunshine-on-a-cloudy-day energy to a new family! Meet him during adoption hours, Monday-Friday 11am-4pm and Saturday 10am-3pm.

Attention!

Sir Ralph Featherbottom (he insists on just "Ralph") is searching for a new coop to rule.

After being discovered on an unsanctioned neighborhood stroll, Ralph was escorted to the animal care center where he has been busy supervising staff, inspecting snack deliveries, and practicing his morning announcements. While his reasons for wandering remain unclear, rumors include a search for better feed, a quest for adventure, or simply forgetting where he parked his flock.

Ralph is a handsome gentleman with excellent feather fashion and plenty of rooster confidence. He is now ready to trade his days of neighborhood exploration for a coop of his own, complete with fresh air, tasty treats, and subjects who appreciate an enthusiastic wake-up call.

If your flock is missing a charismatic leader, Ralph is prepared to step into the role immediately. Meet him during adoption hours M-F 11am-4pm and Saturday 10am-3pm.

Meet your new adventure buddy, Sassy! This beautiful 11-month-old Doberman mix is spayed, potty-trained, and ready for her forever home. Sassy is a happy, affectionate girl who loves people, enjoys playing with other dogs, and never says no to a splash in the water. Smart and eager to please, she's food and toy motivated, learns quickly, has good recall, crates willingly, and has great indoor manners. Because she's still a young, enthusiastic pup who can get a little bouncy when excited, she'd do best with older children. She is looking for a cat-free home where she can be the best companion possible. If you're looking for a fun-loving, loyal sidekick for all of life's adventures, come meet her during adoption hours! Meet her during adoption hours, Monday-Friday 11am-4pm and Saturday 10am-3pm.

At St. Mary's Adoption and Resource Center:

Meet this sweet beauty named Blanca! This girl is very nervous when first meeting new people but will quickly adjust given time. Blanca does not appear confident in herself just yet. She depends on her human for comfort and will need a family that will help her become more confident! Due to an incident in her previous adoptive home, we would not recommend Blanca be adopted into a home with other dogs, cats or small animals. She is extremely timid, and young children may frighten her. This girl is looking for someone, preferably with GSD experience, that can build her confidence and provide her with a safe and patient home. Adoption applications can be submitted in person at the St. Mary's County Animal Adoption & Resource Center located at 22975 FDR Blvd California, MD 20619 View all adoptable animals here: https://www.stmaryscountymd.gov/animalshelter/Adoptable/

Linda Kelly Animal Shelter:

Welcome to Malie Marie's Big Dog Summer ????☀️

Hi, friends. Malie Marie here. I've been at the shelter for 149 days, which is about 148 days longer than I planned. While I'm still waiting for my forever home, I figured I'd use my time to help some of my fellow big dogs find theirs. Here's the deal: We are FULL of dogs, and our waitlist of pets needing shelter continues to grow. To help make some room, adoption fees are being waived for qualified adopters on all dogs 50 pounds and up through July 2.

That's right — more dog, less fee. We may take up a little extra space on the couch, but we also bring extra love, extra laughs, and extra tail wags.

And who knows? Maybe one of us is your perfect match. View our website, www.calvertcountyanimalshelter.com/Dogs to view available dogs.
