URGENT CALL for HELP!!! The shelter is full, both dogs and cats have reached numbers that exceed the space available. Over the last few days strays and owner surrenders have come into the shelter. Efforts have been made to alleviate overcrowding with adoption, rescue and cats have been destroyed, yet space still remains crucial!! Your HELP is needed!! Adopt, if you can. Share, if you will. Consider fostering for one of the rescues that work with the shelter. Contact the shelter and ask which rescues they work with, then contact the rescue with the help of fostering a BCAS animal. The greatest need is for cats, simply because they outnumber the dogs. We can do this to literally save lives but the ANIMALS need YOU to make TOMORROW a reality for them.

By law, strays are held for four working days to locate the owner. After the stray hold is up, the animal becomes the property of Baltimore County Animal Services and they decide what the disposition of the animal will be. Owner surrenders are not required to be held for any length of time since the owner has signed all legal rights of ownership over to the shelter. Exceptions to the stray hold are animals that are severely injured or near death from illness and can be destroyed upon intake after making an attempt to locate any identifying tags, marks or a microchip that could lead to an owner.

ALL CATS & KITTENS SHOULD ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED URGENT AND DESPERATELY IN NEED OF ADOPTION OR RESCUE!!!!!!!!

If you are interesting in adopting any of the cats/kittens it is always best to visit the shelter since there always seems to be so many of them from one day to the next. If you can't adopt then please consider sharing them, they need all the exposure and help they can get.

Baltimore County Animal Services is located in Baltimore County, MD at 13800 Manor Road, Baldwin, MD 21013 - 410-887-7297. httpa//mapq.st/1lW95Yk:::http://mapq.st/1lW95Yk

Hours: Adoption hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. No adoption hours on Monday and Tuesday but the shelter is still open to look for lost pets. Insist that you actually see ALL the cats currently at the shelter before you leave.

Adoption fee for cats/kittens: $50.00 which includes sterilization, current vaccines and microchip, county license where applicable.

BCAS is a county operated, taxpayer funded open admissions kill facility.

This page is not operated by the county or volunteers at BCAS. Our goal here is to bring exposure to the many wonderful animals at the shelter in need of homes or rescue. If you have an interest in adopting any animal, you must go to the shelter. Shelter staff will not recognize the names of animals, you must refer to their impound number as this is what the staff uses to identify the animals.

BCAS refuses to acknowledge TNR is a humane way to maintain the feral cat population in Baltimore County. Any ferals that are trapped and taken to the shelter are held the stray time of four working days then euthanized. If you manage a feral colony in Baltimore County and are missing one, please contact the shelter immediately. Ferals can be redeemed for a redemption fee. And please consider microchipping your ferals.

With the shelter being closed on Mondays and Tuesdays for adoptions, if you're searching for a lost pet you can visit the shelter to look for it and file a lost report while there. Do not just rely on calling the shelter, it's always best to go there.
