The Frederick County Esther Boyd Animal Shelter is currently at capacity and will be restricting intake.

At this time, animals are being doubled up in kennels/cages and staff is reaching out to rescues to see if some of the animals can be transferred to those organizations. While we remain ready to assist in emergency surrenders, we ask those finding a stray or needing to surrender a pet to call the shelter at 540-667-9192. The shelter can offer information on resources available in the region. 

If you have a pet currently at the shelter, you are asked to immediately reclaim that pet or take the appropriate steps to allow the shelter to move forward with rehoming the animal.
