The updated Calvert County animal ordinance includes annual licensing requirements for certain animal businesses, organizations and operations.

The annual license requirement applies to:

The ordinance also establishes restrictions on issuing these licenses to individuals with animal cruelty convictions in any jurisdiction or pending animal cruelty charges.

🦃🐾 Thanks for Giving ... Me a Home! 💛

Meet Sadie, a laid-back Hound mix who arrived as a stray and is ready to spend her golden years surrounded by love.

🐶 Age: 12 years
🐾 Breed: Hound mix
🏡 Currently: Enjoying life in foster care
❤️ Personality: Sweet, calm and easygoing!

Sadie's wishlist is simple: a cozy bed, a few short walks and someone to love her. 🥹💕

🍂 Adoption fee WAIVED through Nov. 30!
Standard adoption procedures apply.

📞 Interested in Sadie? She's currently in foster care, so meet and greets must be coordinated in advance. Call 410-535-7387 to schedule a visit.

Let's give Sadie something to be thankful for this holiday season — a home of her own! 🐶💛

FOLLKAS is so very proud of our Animal Control Officers. They go ABOVE and BEYOND and have the highest level of compassion and dedication to the animals, and community they serve.

🐾 Animal Shelter Appreciation Week Staff Spotlight 🐾

This week, we’re proud to shine a light on our amazing Animal Control Team! 💙

Pictured from left to right: Officer Bell-Bussler, Limerick, and Richter. These incredible professionals do so much more than respond to calls — they are the first line of support for animals and people in our community.

Whether it’s rescuing stray or injured animals, investigating welfare concerns, educating the public or reuniting lost pets with their families, they handle every situation with skill, compassion and heart. 🐕🚨

Their work often goes unseen, but the impact is enormous. Every animal they help and every life they protect is a testament to their dedication and love for the animals of Calvert County.

Thank you, Blake, Savannah, Alexis and Shelley, for your tireless efforts — we appreciate everything you do to keep our community safe and our furry friends cared for! 👏✨

We love our seniors ❤️

🦃🐾 Thanks for Giving ... Me a Home! 💛

November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and we're celebrating with a promotion that's something to be thankful for!

Throughout the entire month of November, adoption fees are WAIVED for all adoptable animals over 8 years old! 🎉

And who better to kick things off than our oldest adoptable resident, Bugs! 🐱❤️

At 13 years young, this domestic shorthair is here to remind everyone that love doesn't come with an expiration date. Senior pets may have a little more gray around the muzzle, but they still have so much love to give.

While puppies and kittens often steal the spotlight, our golden oldies are hoping someone will see just how special they are, too.

This Thanksgiving season, we're asking you to consider giving a senior pet something they'll be forever thankful for — a home of their own. 🏡💕

🐾 Promotion details:
🍂 Nov. 1-30
🍂 Waived adoption fees for animals over 8 years old
🍂 Standard adoption procedures and approval requirements still apply

Don't let these golden oldies spend another holiday waiting.
Come meet Bugs and our other adoptable seniors — you might just find your greatest reason to be thankful! 🐶🐱💛
