Frederick County Animal Control

About

Mission: To prevent cruelty, abuse and neglect of animals in Frederick County by enforcing all state, county and city ordinances. We shelter homeless animals and place them in safe and loving home environments. We educate the public on all animal issues, to foster a more aware and caring community.

Pets available

Adoption process

Our application collects information about you, your pet experience and what you expect from a pet. If you find a pet in the shelter you would like to take home, we'll check with your landlord (unless you own your home) and arrange for your pet to be neutered prior to adoption. We will have an adoption counselor go over house training, basic equipment you'll need and what to expect in the first few days.
