Montgomery County Animal Shelter & Adoption Center Clears the Shelters


Dozens of the homeless animals found permanent homes when Montgomery County Animal Services & Adoption Center participated in NBC and Telemundo owned stations' Clear the Shelters on Aug. 17. This is a nationwide pet adoption effort to find loving homes for animals.  At the end of the day, 89 dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and even a horse found their forever home.


If you missed the date and are looking for a dog there will be a "Clear the Shelters: The Sequel" offered Sept. 5 through 8, which will waive adoption fees for dogs. The event will be sponsored by Friends of Montgomery County Animals.

The Center opens its doors to all animals in need from dogs and cats to farm animals, wildlife, and exotics but the goal is to find a home for these animals. If you are looking for a pet you will want to stop by to see what animals are looking to be adopted. The shelter is located at 7315 Muncaster Mill Road in Derwood. The facility is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 7 p.m. and weekends noon to 5 p.m. To view the adoptable animals or for more information visit the website.
