My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Suki loves to cuddle up near her human all day if allowed, getting all the attention she can get. She enjoys going on my deck to lay in the sun. She can be very destructive when left alone, however. She barks and pulls when she sees other dogs walking with their owner but gets along with some dogs when she’s at the pet sitter’s house. She also doesn’t care for strangers to run past us while walking. It took two to two-and-a-half months for her to co-exist with our cat. She does sometime chase the cat and the cat sometimes will paw her on the head or butt, but she doesn’t try to attack the cat. She loves digging in trash to find leftovers and will eat food while on walks if not careful. She feels threatened near tools, especially lawn mowers, drills or anything she feels is dangerous.

Overall, she’s a loving dog but due to declining health issues, I’m unable to give her the attention she deserves and needs. As a result, I’d like to find her a loving home with someone who can give her lots of attention.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our adoptions begin with a visit to one of our adoption events. The adoption coordinator and/or the pet's foster parent will review the applications received. The applicant (if any) whose responses best fit the needs of the particular pet will generally be contacted within a week to schedule a home visit. A vet check and personal reference is also required prior to visiting your home. Our non-refundable adoption fee is $250 for dogs, $85 for kittens ($150 for a pair of kittens), and $75 for an adult cat. The fee covers spay/neuter, core vaccines (distemper and rabies), deworming, microchipping, and the general care of the animals. Per our contract, if you cannot keep your adopted pet for any reason, it must be returned to our program. We will try to find it a new home.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We don't have a central shelter facility, so the best place to meet our adoptable cats and dogs is at our adoption shows! If you have previously filled out an application, please bring it with you to the show! Please e-mail with any questions. We cannot guarantee that an animal you want to meet will be at the show. Please check www.pgspca.org -> adopt -> adoption_show_attendees the day before the show and we will do our best to let you know if he/she will be there!

We hold two adoption events each month, on Saturdays from 12 noon to 2 pm.

More about this rescue

The PGSPCA is a nonprofit organization of volunteers dedicated to animal welfare. We are chartered by the State of Maryland, but we receive no state or county funds. Our activities are supported solely by contributions, dues and fundraising events.

We have three main objectives:

• To reduce the number of unwanted litters of dogs and cats through our progressive spay/neuter program – We have altered more than 20,000 animals over the past five years, many of them at no charge;

• To prevent cruelty to animals and all animal suffering through humane education, neglect and cruelty investigations, protective legal action, and an active dog and cat adoption program – We receive about 1,000 calls a month for cruelty investigations, spay and neuter assistance and adoption requests;

• To protect all animals against suffering and abuse through education on legislation affecting the protection of all animals – We regularly educate the public and provide testimony about animal welfare to county and state legislators.
