National Pet Day: These Animals Found In Anne Arundel County Need Forever Homes

MILLERSVILLE, MD — If you're an animal lover, you can't help but feel for the scores of lost pets and strays that sit in area adoption centers. Your local animal control or humane society is the perfect place to find an animal for your family.

While we can be cognizant of animals in need every day, Tuesday marks National Pet Day, so we thought we'd share some cute furry friends in need of forever homes.

As many as 6.5 million pets enter animal shelters nationwide every year, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Those numbers are split even among dogs and cats, the group says.

Here are some animals in Anne Arundel County that need a loving family to take care of them:

This pup was found with no chip

This kitty was found in the Laurel area

If you wish to adopt any of these pets, please get in contact with Anne Arundel County Animal Control at (410) 222-8900, located at 411 Maxwell Frye Rd., Millersville.
