28 DOGS. 7 DAYS. ONE DEADLINE. 🚨
From 30 lbs to 106 lbs, ages 11 months to 11 years — there might be a perfect match waiting on this list.
🌈 URGENT IN MD – 28 DOGS AT RISK
⏰ Must leave by Tuesday, March 17 at 6 PM
🍀 We need a lot of St. Patrick’s Day magic this week. This is the biggest urgent list of 2026, and we are coming off this year’s biggest loss of dogs. The perfect storm.
This week, 28 dogs at the Prince George’s County Animal Services Facility are hoping for a little luck of the Irish.
A foster.
An adopter.
A rescue saying yes.
Sometimes that’s the luck these dogs need. 🍀
✨ 3 dogs are already spayed or neutered, which means they may be able to go home more quickly with an approved application.
🐾 Two rescue groups have already stepped up saying they will pull dogs — but fosters and adopters need to apply NOW. Waiting until the last day makes it much harder for rescues to help.
The pace right now is relentless. The shelter remains severely overcrowded, rescues everywhere are stretched thin, and another group of dogs now needs a miracle.
If you’ve been thinking about helping — now is the time.
