🚨 Tomorrow’s the day! 🚨
Our Furever Family Fest kicks off tomorrow, Saturday, August 16th from 11AM–5PM at the Animal Care Shelter for Kent County!

🐾 Adoption Reminder:
To make your day as smooth as possible, get those adoption applications in tonight! Submitting ahead of time could even make you a VIA (Very Important Adopter) and get you in the doors early for first pick.

If you don’t get your app in online tonight, no worries—you can still bring the proper paperwork with you tomorrow. Be sure to have:
✔️ Proof of address
✔️ A valid photo ID
✔️ Landlord approval or pet policy (if you rent)

🎉 Free adoptions, fun for the whole family, and so many animals waiting to meet their people—tomorrow’s going to be BIG. We can’t wait to see you there!

**Shake is home ❤️**

MISSING PET: Shake is a tabby cat who was last seen on 08/07/2025 on Beach Road in Rock Hall, MD. He’s an indoor cat, and he’s very skittish. He got out while visiting from out of town, so the area is completely unfamiliar to him.

If you have seen Shake or know his whereabouts, please contact The Animal Care Shelter for Kent County at 410-778-3648. Thank you
