Frederick County Animal Control

I agree with people who have commented on the lack of friendliness here.I haven't ever tried to adopt from this shelter, but I dropped off two large bags of dog food, a bag of dog toys, and some dog coats. I also had an entire bag full of bandannas. They said they didn't want the bandannas and pretty much just shrugged about everything else. When I asked about leaving a cash donation, they just pointed to a box and said that somebody would empty it later. I didn't expect to be treated like a hero, but a simple thank-you you would've been nice. Instead, they acted as if I were a nuisance.

Very helpful and caring staff. Our cat friend Olive, a very shy rescue, had jumped from our balcony one night and went to camp at a nearby conference center campus. FCAC were very friendly and reassuring. We borrowed a HaveaHeart trap and received full instructions on it's safe and effective deployment. It took the full two weeks to gradually coax her into the trap but she is home now and, apart from a very reluctant visit with our veterinary, seems very happy to be back with us. She is purring on my lap as I write this.
