THIS PET IS SPONSORED

Lavender has officially spent almost 45 days at the shelter, hitting our absolute maximum length of stay cap. We are completely out of space, and time is officially up for this beautiful girl. She needs an adopter or foster to walk through the doors and save her today!
Meet Lavender (A-141824) Look at those incredible, expressive ears and her beautiful pineapple bandana! This precious girl truly lives up to her name with her incredibly sweet, gentle, and loving nature.

Tyson needs a rescue, foster, or adopter ASAP in the DMV area

Tyson is a 3-year-old male Husky currently at Prince George’s County Animal Services in Upper Marlboro, MD, and he is running out of time at the shelter.

From the shelter notes and photos/videos, he seems like a very typical Husky:
super social with people
high energy
playful and goofy
loves attention
around 69 lbs
Honestly, this doesn’t look like a dog with major behavioral issues. He looks like a young Husky who ended up in an overcrowded shelter and needs more visibility.

If anyone:
can foster
knows a Husky rescue
has transport connections
or is seriously looking to adopt
please contact the shelter ASAP.
📍 Prince George’s County Animal Services Division
3750 Brown Station Rd
Upper Marlboro, MD 20772
📞 (301) 780-7200
Even sharing this could help him reach the right person in time.
