PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – Nov. 3, 2025 – The Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter’s November adoption promotion, themed “Thanks for Giving Me a Home,” runs from Saturday, Nov. 1, to Saturday, Nov. 29. In celebration of National Adopt a Senior Pet Month and Thanksgiving, adoption fees will be waived for animals eight years and older.
Animals of all ages are available for adoption, including dogs, cats, rabbits, roosters, pigs and more. Adoptions include spay or neuter surgery, microchipping, age-appropriate vaccinations and a starter care package to help pets transition into their new homes. Standard adoption protocols still apply. All potential adopters will go through the shelter’s usual screening process to ensure each animal is placed in a safe, loving and appropriate home.
“We’re thankful for every adopter who opens their heart and home to a senior pet,” said Crystal Dowd, deputy director of Public Safety. “Older animals make wonderful companions and deserve a loving family to call their own.”
The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To schedule an intake appointment, call 410-535-7387. The shelter is located at 5055 Hallowing Point Road in Prince Frederick.
