Adopt by appointment

If you want to adopt a pet in person, you can make an appointment to walk through our shelter. Please limit your party to two (2) people maximum.

Here’s how it works:

• Click here to choose an available time.
• Arrive at the MD SPCA at your appointment time.
• Park your car in front of a blue adoption sign and call (410) 235-6205 to check in.
• Proceed to the Adoption Center and follow the signs to our cat room or dog kennel.
• If you find a pet you like, pick up the kennel card and take it to the lobby to ask for a meet and greet.
• After the meet and greet, if you’re interested in adopting the pet, return to the lobby to learn how to apply on our tablet.
• We’ll schedule a phone interview. Depending on availability, that may be right away or it may be another day.
• If we both agree it’s a good fit, we’ll complete the paperwork and payment digitally.
• We’ll bring your new pet out to you!
