You’re not seeing double, that’s our new dynamic duo Abby and Costella! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

7-month-old Abby (green collar) and Costella (blue collar) were found roaming the local tennis courts. These sweet sisters are like night and day — Costella is a brave girl who loves to play, while Abby loves her hideaway spot and takes a bit longer to warm up (you'll typically find Costella lounging atop a comfy spot with Abby hiding underneath her and her blanket). But both sisters share a love of being pet, playing with toys, and eating tasty treats!

While these sisters get along great, they don’t appear to be bonded and don’t need to be adopted together.

If you’re interested in adopting Abby and/or Costella, please email [email protected] or call 301-474-6124 for more information.

Adoptable puppy Maya still has some growing to do -- right now she's less than one fire hydrant tall!

4-month-old Maya came to the shelter as a stray, so we don't know her background. But what we do know is that she is an absolute lovebug who loves to meet new people. She recently went on her first walk, and while she was a bit nervous at first by all the new sounds and smells, she relaxed quickly and had a blast.

At just 26 pounds, Maya is what we like to call a "pocket pittie", though we don't know how much larger she'll get. Maya is a very smart puppy and has already mastered sit (though she's still working on her potty training)!

If you're interested in adopting magnificent Maya (and her floppy ears), please email [email protected] or call 301-474-6124 for more information.

It's never too late for some spring cleaning! Adoptable Blu's favorite pastime is "organizing" the toy bin. 🧹

9-month-old Blu was surrendered to the shelter a few months ago and has had little adoption interest since then -- and we have no idea why! This energetic boy is house-trained, loves going on walks, and loves meeting new people (and other dogs, according to his former owner). Blu is a silly pup with lots of cute habits, like being endlessly entertained by all his toys, thinking he's a lap dog (despite not being lap-sized), and taking naps in the paly yard.

Living in the shelter long-term is not ideal for any animal, especially a puppy like Blu, so we're really hoping for Blu to go to his forever home soon!

If you're interested in adopting bouncy Blu, please email [email protected] or call 301-474-6124 for more information.

Hey, pet parents! With the hot weather upon us, it's essential to keep our furry friends safe and comfortable. Here are some great tips to help your pets beat the heat:

1. Provide Plenty of Fresh Water: Always have clean, cool water available for your pets to drink throughout the day.

2. Limit Exercise: Take walks during the cooler parts of the day, like early morning or late evening, to avoid overheating.

3. Watch for Signs of Overheating: Keep an eye out for excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy. If you notice these signs, cool your pet down gradually and seek veterinary assistance if necessary.

4. Use Pet-Safe Cooling Products: Consider pet cooling mats or vests to provide extra relief from the heat.

Your pets depend on you to keep them safe, so let’s ensure their summer is fun and refreshing! Please share these tips and keep your furry friends cool! ❤️🐶🐱

Greenbelt Animal Shelter Alumni, Prince, is settling in well with his new family.

He wasted no time at all making himself at home. He explored every room, sniffing every corner and testing nap spots until he landed on his favorite place of all: right in the middle of the bed, where he laid down and purred like someone who knows they've just landed with their bum in the butter!

His new family stated that he really is a very sweet little cat and that they all adore him! He requires lots of pets, and they gladly oblige him.
