The Allegany County Animal Shelter was the first No-Kill municipal shelter in the state of Maryland and is run by the ACAS Management Foundation. Lost animals are held 4 days until their owner brings them back home. You will see pictures of all the adoptable cats and dogs, and be informed when they find their "forever homes". Donations from our Chewy Wish List are always gratefully accepted: https

We want to send a heartfelt thank you to Darron, and Del's Army, for their incredibly generous donation to our shelter in memory of Barbara Buehl. We are truly honored that Barbara's memory is helping provide care, comfort, and second chances for our animals.

We would also like to recognize Darron's wife, Sara, for raising money for her birthday and donating the proceeds to support our animals. What an amazing way to celebrate!

The generosity of Darron, Del's Army, and everyone who contributed will make a meaningful difference in the lives of dogs and cats in our care. Thank you for your compassion and commitment to helping animals in need. ❤️🐾

Some adoptions just feel meant to be, and Oreo's is one of them. ❤️

Today, we are celebrating one of our shelter favorites as he heads off to his forever home! Oreo has captured so many hearts during his time with us, and while we'll miss his sweet face and happy personality, we couldn't be more excited for his future.

This lucky boy is about to live his best life—swimming in the river, exploring a farm, and taking long hikes with his new family. It truly couldn't be a more perfect match. His adopters understand exactly who Oreo is and are ready to give him all the adventures, love, and happiness he deserves.

Oreo, thank you for bringing so much joy to everyone here. We know your future is filled with so much love. Have the most amazing life, sweet boy. We couldn't be happier for you! 🐾❤️

Charlotte, one of our adorable shelter pups, can hardly contain her excitement for our Plates, Pints & Paws event on Saturday, June 13th (See details on the ad below). She's especially looking forward to the Dog Fashion Show and hopes you'll enter your pup(s) and join the fun.

We always love reconnecting with the dogs who have found their forever homes, so we'd be thrilled to see our adopted pups and their families at this special event.

To enter the Dog Fashion Show, simply complete the form below. Registration forms will also be available at the gate. The competition begins at 3:00 p.m., and participants should report to the area to the left of the Amphitheater by 2:40 p.m.

There is no additional fee to participate beyond event admission, and the prizes are fantastic! A special thank-you to Uptown Hound and Laundromutt, and Toni's Craft Creations, for sponsoring this fun and friendly competition.
