Adoption Center
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.
Go to our Available Pets page to see pets currently in our adoption center. You can also view a couple of our animals through our Pet Cam.

Lucky 7 Dogs and Cats
Consider welcoming an older pet into your home. A special grant 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 micro-chipping.
Sweets, the January Kaycee Fund Dog
Our generous Kaycee Fund donor has committed to covering the adoption fee for one dog each month in 2010. We selected Sweets, a six-year-old Pomeranian mix, as our January Kaycee Fund dog. Sweets was surrendered to the Maryland SPCA because of housebreaking problems. She is now spayed and has found a new owner who will invest time and resources into house-training her. Because of the Kaycee Fund, Sweets was available for adoption at no charge except for micro-chipping and licensing.
Karmen, the January Bailey Fund Dog
A generous donor has enabled us to establish the Bailey Fund to cover the adoption fee for one cat each month in 2010. We selected Karmen, a five-year-old orange tabby, as the January Bailey Fund cat. Karmen has been adopted! While she was at the MD SPCA, her favorite spot was under her bed, which made her resemble a turtle. She was somewhat shy, but her new owner likely will help her come out of her shell. Because of the Bailey Fund, Karmen was available for adoption at no charge except for micro-chipping 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.
Post an Alumni Tale
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.
