Anne Arundel County Animal Care and Control
Anne Arundel County Animal Care and Control is located off Interstate 97 at the police and fire headquarters complex in Millersville, 411 Maxwell Frye Road. Now that pandemic-related restrictions have eased somewhat, Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control, 411 Maxwell Frye Road, Millersville, has reopened by appointment only to the public. If you see an animal here or on the shelter’s website (aacounty.org/pets) that you would like to meet and possibly adopt, fill out the form found under “adopt a pet” on its website and email it with the required items to ACCFrontDesk@aacounty. org. All available animals at the shelter are shown during a live video on the shelter’s Facebook page at 9:30 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays; additional pets that are in foster homes are included on the shelter’s website.
Karlden, shown here, and his likely sister Karma are 3-year-old American bulldogtype mixes given up together when their family became homeless. They lived with children ages 6, 8 and 14. Each dog “loves to cuddle,” their former owner said. Both have been anxious and shy in our loud shelter but volunteers who have befriended them say they are adorable dogs. Quiet homes would be ideal.
Dino, 4, arrived at our shelter barely able to open his eyes because his lashes rolled inward and rubbed painfully against them. Our veterinarian surgically corrected this, and Dino now is a happily wide-eyed fellow after recovering in a foster home. His foster said he is house trained and quiet both indoors and out, loves napping by his family, walks very calmly on a leash and likes other dogs.
Whisper, 37 pounds, is believed to be a rat terrier/pit bull type mix (we do not DNA test our dogs). This petite adoptable girl, black with a white blaze on her chest, was found as a stray, as so many of our animals are. All found domestic animals in Anne Arundel County by law are supposed to be turned over to us within 24 hours to improve their chances of being reunited with their owners.
Chip, 4, was emaciated when he was found as a stray in September and spent many weeks in a foster home regaining weight. He now is at a healthy size and back at the shelter. Volunteers and his former foster say he’s smart, curious and happy all the time. He loves to meet people, is crate and house trained and knows basic commands. Adoption fees continue to be waived for all our pets.
