Adopt a Dog

Our adoption center located at 71 Oglethorpe St. NW is open for in-person adoption visits Tuesday through Sunday 12 - 7 p.m. - no appointment needed! Remember to bring a leash when you come down to adopt a dog – most of our animals are ready to go home with you the same day you meet them.

Virtual adoptions will continue for animals in foster homes. From the comfort of your home you can select an animal, set up a virtual meet and greet, and even conduct an adoption counseling session.

We have many wonderful animals waiting to meet you and multiple ways to help you meet your match!

Please note: Due to Prince George's County's strict breed specific legislation, we are unable to adopt pit bull-type dogs to residents of this county. While intended to protect public safety, breed specific bans are ineffective policies and have no place in a humane community.
