In November the Patuxent Animal Welfare League celebrated their second year of service to the pets and community of the southern Maryland area with 248 friendly, healthy house pets rescued and adopted . All pets are examined by a veterinarian, tested for heartworms for dogs, feline leukemia and FIV for cats, spayed or neutered, given their vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped for permanent identification, and groomed. They are then fostered until they are adopted to carefully screened appropriate homes with collars, ID tags, and adoption kits.
Education is an important part of each adoption.
Many volunteers donated endless hours to assure the pets were healthy , socialized and adopted to good homes. We would also like to thank all the local business' who support our endeavors. We'd especially like to thank Carmen of Carmen's Gallery, Solomon's, for providing space to us during the many special events on the island. Regular adoption opportunities are at Petsmart stores and from foster homes.
