Homes 4 the Holidays (Friday, Dec. 1- Sunday, Dec. 30)

Shelter Gift Cards
Instead of giving a pet as a gift this holiday season, consider buying your loved one a gift certificate to the Tri-County Animal Shelter. A gift certificate gives the adopter the opportunity to meet a few furry friends before making the right match for the family. Pair the gift certificate with a gift basket of pet-related items, such as a leash, collar, toys, treats, bedding, or food.
The Tri-County Animal Shelter is located at 6707 Animal Shelter Road in Hughesville. Shelter staff can be reached at 301-932-1713 or 800-903-1992. Adoption hours are Monday-Friday, noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. To view animals available for adoption, visit www.CharlesCountyMD.gov/ES/AnimalShelter/Tri-County-Animal-Shelter or www.petfinder.com/shelters/MD112.html to find your “purrfect” pet.
