It's time for our "Sign Up" Sign Campaign to help our local homeless pets!

Sign up for a FREE yard sign to help homeless pets! Email [email protected] for your FREE sign!

If you will decorate the exterior of your home or business between now and New Year's for ANY upcoming holidays we will give you a FREE yard sign with our FFOCAS QR code donation to put in your yard to encourage admiring visitors to support Frederick County Animal Control, Maryland!

Everyone who signs up to put a sign in their yard will be entered to win a $100 gift card to Fetch Thrift Shop! Winner announced on 12/20! This could make a great holiday gift!

The sign is completely FREE and can be picked up any time, until 12/20!

Thanks again to Michael Smith for this fantastic idea!
