Anne Arundel County Animal Care and Control
Give a friend a forever home. 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 and is open to view and adopt its dogs, cats and other pets from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. The adoption fee for dogs is $17 and for younger cats $14, including spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations and a microchip. Older cats and other pets such as Guinea pigs and rabbits are free to qualified adopters. The shelter’s simple adoption requirements are on the Anne Arundel Animal Care & Control website under “Adopt a Pet.” See “Animals at Our Shelter” for pet photos.
Spiderman is the dog for you if you are searching for a young, affectionate male dog, our dog volunteers say. This 35-pound, 6-month-old fellow“just wants to be near you, cuddled and loved,” and he also gives great hugs, they say. Approved potential adopters can meet one-on-one with Spiderman to get a hug of their own. Like all our pets, his adoption fees currently are waived.
Draco, a 99-pound male Cane Corso, is “such an awesome dog — big and cuddly,” a dog volunteer says. Typical of his breed, he can be suspicious of strangers, but once he gets to know you, he loves attention, especially if you offer him the right treat.“He lives for love and food, not necessarily in that order,” his volunteer pal said. Draco,3, is responding well to heartworm treatment.
Runway is one of several shepherds and shepherd mixes up for adoption at our shelter. He has an adorable, expressive face, weighs 70 pounds and is thought to be about 2 years old (he was found as a stray). Volunteers say he can be shy at first, but can be won over with treats and knows some commands. All our dogs (and cats) are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
