Welcome to the Maryland SPCA’s Adoption Center!

If you are looking for a new dog, cat, puppy or kitten to add to your family, come to our adoption center. Not only will you find a friend for life, you will be helping a needy or unwanted animal who needs a new home. Our adoption staff strives to help you find the perfect match. Each year we adopt out over 3,000 animals to new homes, and new animals enter our adoption program daily. Our adoption center is clean and cheery and our staff is attentive and eager to help you find the right animal to adopt.

Lucky 7 Dogs and Cats

Consider welcoming an older pet into your home. A special donor, Atlantic Remodeling Corp, who is also our March for the Animals presenting sponsor, has made it possible for us to waive the adoption fee on cats and dogs who are seven years of age or older. There is still a fee for licensing and microchipping.

Buddy, the December Kaycee Fund Dog

Our generous Kaycee Fund donor has committed to covering the adoption fee for one special dog each month in 2011. For December, we selected Buddy, a three-year-old Pointer mix. Buddy is sometimes overly energetic. Our behavior experts, staff and volunteers worked with him to improve his behavior. We even sent him in foster care "camp" to reintroduce him to home life and to give him a chance to practice good behavior. Happily, Buddy found his new owner upon his return from camp. Thanks to the Kaycee Fund, Buddy was available for adoption at no charge except for microchipping and licensing.

Starling, the December Pippi Fund Cat

A generous donor has enabled us to establish the Pippi Fund to cover the adoption fee for one cat each month in 2011. For December, we selected Starling. Starling is a brown tabby with big beautiful eyes. She has been at the Maryland SPCA for more than a month. She is a curious and friendly cat who likes to cuddle. Thanks to the Pippi Fund, she is available for adoption at no charge except for microchipping and licensing.

How to Adopt, Lost & Found Animals and Re-Homing Pets

We have provided all the information you need on how to adopt a pet from us and included a lost and found resource center if your pet gets lost or you find a lost animal. Also we have a special section on re-homing in case you need to find a new home for a pet you already own.

Every day animals get adopted from our adoption center. They go to new, loving homes and become a member of a family. Our Alumni Tales page lets adopters share their wonderful adoption stories and lets us share them with you.
