I adopted a mixed breed dog from here. You could tell everyone here truly cares about the animals. My dog had grown close to his caregivers. He was in good health and happy. Now he has his furever family! We love him so very much. He is amazing. Lovable, sweet, smart. (A bit stubborn so he fits right in with the rest of us. Lol) Thankyou to the Frederick County Animal Control and Adoption for saving this little guy. UPDATE: We have had our wonderful furever family member for about a year. He is wonderful. We all love him to peices. I'm so glad these people took such great care of him until we found him. Make this your first stop when looking for a furry family member. They are here because they care and the furry friends know it.

First, to go to the shelter, you need an appointment, that you have to get through their website, not by phone. Their reasonning being that it is less stressful for the animals! It is not true.... those animals are stressed, dogs are barking for attention, cats are up their cage for attention too! It seems that the people employed by the shelter are all in the lobby, hiding behind their counter, not taking care of the animals: several dogs had feces in their cages and nobody was around to clean them up.I am lying, an employee had the time to stay still behind us, not doing anything except looking at us... I guess they were working! There were several volunteers too. They were wandering around, not taking care of the animals either. I really only saw 1 person doing a great job at cleaning and sanatizing a cat cage! It is a desolation. The animals are extremely stressed and nobody seems to care!

They do not. You will need to reach out to a professional wild animal catcher. Try Mid Maryland Wildlife Management.

Cristina Soto (Cristina Soto) | Oct 1, 2020

well a couple of years ago a litter of wild kittens were reported, the control animal arrived and took them away, they said they were going to be evaluated to see if they had the possibility of being adopted and if not they would at least do what was necessary to check that they were well and if possible they will not reproduce anymore.

I would like to adopt a puppy , do you have a pup that won't get over 30 pounds?

Pam Stoner | Oct 2, 2019
Vickie K | Oct 2, 2019

You can call them during business hours, or you can look online at their website to see some pets available for adoption. You will need to fill out an adoption form on paper and submit it to them for consideration, indicating which animal you wish to adopt. Adoptions are not done immediately or quickly and do require a completed application and interview.

Jennnifer Flores | Oct 2, 2018
Ashley Loebach | Oct 2, 2018

They have them on occasion but it is all about timing if you want to adopt. Make frequent visits or follow them on Facebook to see who is available for adoption.

What a joke a total scam of a place. All there should be ashamed.

They will take care of everything for you, but you are responsible for keeping any licenses/registrations up-to-date. Usually everything needs to be updated once a year.

Lulwut

where can I get SNAP certificate

RALE Monrovia | Oct 2, 2018
Ashley Loebach | Oct 2, 2018

I believe the Frederic County Animal Control sprays/neuter their animals before they are adopted out and the cost is embedded in the adoption fee. Since they already do the surgery, I do not know if they will issue a SNAP Certificate for any of their animals, or animals not from their shelter. But, you call them and they might be able to tell you where to go if they do not issue it.

Cost of putting loved one to sleep

Karen Roth | Oct 2, 2018
Mother of change | Oct 2, 2018

15 or 20 if I remember right...somewhere around that price

Does fco animal accept adoptions there to live in Pennsylvania

John Hobble | Oct 2, 2018
B C | Oct 2, 2018

I don't see why not... their goal is to find these animals safe and stable homes. Where they move to is just a detail that goes on their registration. Call them and ask about the process.

What time do you close tomorow
