Queen Anne’s County Animal Services is once again joining shelters across Maryland for the return of the “Maryland 3,000” pet adoption challenge. Throughout the month of August, adoption fees will be waived at participating shelters across the state. The Bay Times and Record Observer reports locally, Queen Anne’s County Animal Services is encouraging residents to help find loving homes for as many animals as “paw”-sible.
The shelter currently has 246 animals available for adoption — including dogs, cats and one guinea pig — according to Adoption Manager Kayla Bateman. Although adoption fees are waived during the campaign, all regular adoption procedures still apply.
