Animal Services Facility & Adoption Center
Animal Services News
The Animal Services Facility and Adoption Center (ASFAC) welcomes Dr. Constante Tinaza as the first-ever full-time Veterinarian for Prince George's County Animal Services Division.
Dr. Tinaza has a wide range of experience in the veterinary field in public sheltering, private practice, and herd and public health. His experience lines up well with our domestic and livestock population in the county. He is excited to join our team and improve the lives and health of animals in our care and across the county.
Dr. Tinaza joins the team alongside our part‑time contractual veterinarians, Dr. Yusuf and Dr. Owens, who have been instrumental over the years in providing critical care and enabling us to serve more than a thousand animals through vaccination clinics in 2025. Their continued collaboration will bring even greater capacity and consistency to our veterinary care.
We are at full capacity! Here's how you can help:
- Adopt our dogs into your loving home,
- Instead of surrendering, rehome your pet with family and friends first or contact one of our County-approved rescue organizations.

Shelter Capacity
The Shelter is at Critical capacity! Adopt or foster now to save our fur friends.
Adoption
We are at full capacity! We urgently need your help finding loving homes for our dogs, particularly for our larger and senior dogs. Without your help, we may have to find alternative solutions for our healthy, adoptable dogs due to a lack of space.
Our website features lost animals and animals available for adoption. For more information about any animals available at our facility, please call 301-780-7200.
Medical Treatment
Getting the animals out of the facility and into homes is crucial to their long-term success. Releasing treated animals after the appropriate period does not pose a health threat to the community.
To help reduce the spread of the disease in the community, ASFAC encourages pet owners to keep their pets up to date on vaccines, avoid communal water bowls, and seek medical advice from a veterinarian if any symptoms, such as a cough or runny nose, develop or worsen.
Kittens
The ASFAC has a large group of kitten-bottle babies that will be legally adoptable once they are eight weeks old. They need fosters to take them in for two to four weeks. Most infant kittens can eat solid food. Interested fosters can contact fosterpgcpets@co.pg.md.us for more information.
Surrender a Pet
Pet owners seeking to surrender a pet are encouraged to consider rehoming it with family and friends first or contact one of our County-approved rescue organizations to see if they can accept your pet.
Lost Pets
You can search for lost animals at our shelter if you've lost a pet.
Donations Needed
We greatly appreciate your generosity! We are in need of monetary donations, pet supplies, Kuranda beds for our dogs, and KMR milk and bottles for our kittens.
