At the Charles-County Animal Care Center:
Meet Beau!
Beau is sweet, playful, and has a very important mission in life: defeat all yarn-based projects. This tiny aspiring knitter has a personal vendetta against knitting and considers every unfinished scarf, blanket, or yarn ball to be his next great adventure. Honestly, we’ve never seen a more adorable nemesis.
When he’s not conducting “quality control” on knitting projects, Beau is busy chasing lasers, making friends with adult cats, giving giant snuggles, and charming the big kids (the toddler received a cautious side-eye review).
If you’re looking for a kitten who will bring love, laughter, and possibly help you “finish” your knitting by unraveling it, Beau is ready to join your family! Meet him at the Charles County Animal Care Center.

Meet Daisy, our adorable pot-bellied pig who's ready to trade shelter life for a place to call home! She'd love a family that appreciates snorts of approval, happy wiggles, and the occasional piggy zoomie. Daisy is proof that happiness comes with a curly tail and an impressive talent for convincing you she hasn't been fed in at least 47 minutes. If you've been dreaming of adding a little extra "ham-or" to your life, Daisy is ready to hog all the love. Come meet this oink-tastic girl and let her bring home the bacon... of happiness! Meet her during adoption hours, Monday-Friday 11am-4pm and Saturday 10am-3pm.

Meet Blue!
At just 2 years old, this handsome Doberman has life pretty well figured out. Doggy door? Nailed it. Crate? No problem. Toy collection? Absolutely Essential. Blue loves hanging out inside with his people, is great with kids, tolerates sharing his kingdom with a cat (he won't write the cat a glowing performance review, but they coexist), and is always ready for the next game or adventure. If you're looking for a loyal best friend with movie-star looks, goofy charm, and enough love to fill your whole house, Blue is ready to make himself right at home... preferably on the comfy side of the doggy door. Meet him at the Charles County Animal Care Center.

At St. Mary's Adoption and Resource Center:
Meet this sweet beauty named Blanca! This girl is very nervous when first meeting new people but will quickly adjust given time. Blanca does not appear confident in herself just yet. She depends on her human for comfort and will need a family that will help her become more confident! Due to an incident in her previous adoptive home, we would not recommend Blanca be adopted into a home with other dogs, cats or small animals. She is extremely timid, and young children may frighten her. This girl is looking for someone, preferably with GSD experience, that can build her confidence and provide her with a safe and patient home. Adoption applications can be submitted in person at the St. Mary's County Animal Adoption & Resource Center located at 22975 FDR Blvd California, MD 20619 View all adoptable animals here: https://www.stmaryscountymd.gov/animalshelter/Adoptable/

Today's spotlight is on Coco.
Coco is proof that senior dogs still have plenty of love to give. This sweet girl is all about the simple things in life: gentle strolls, lots of pets and spending time with her favorite people.
She's smart, affectionate and has the kind of easygoing personality that makes every day a little brighter. If you're looking for a loyal companion who would rather spend time with you than cause trouble, Coco might be your perfect match.
