Emergency Medical Assistance Program (E.A.P)
Our Emergency Medical Assistance (E.A.P.) Program has literally saved lives for pets in need of immediate medical attention. This Program provides emergency financial support to families who's pets require lifesaving (and often expensive) medical treatment. For more information, please contact our office at (301) 694-8300.
Pet Overpopulation Program (POP)
We partner with local participating veterinarians to offer spay/neuter services at a reduced fee to low-income Frederick County Maryland residents. This program is available throughout the year. To apply, applications can be picked up at our office located at 1786 North Market Street, Frederick, MD 21701.
Old Friends Adopt a Senior
The manner in which this Program works is that once we receive a donation specified for this program we contact Frederick County Animal Control (FCAC) or a local rescue to confirm the availability of a senior cat or dog (donations are typically specified as such). We then provide sponsorship through the donation for the pet that FCAC decides needs it the most.
Once the senior adapter is identified, we provide the them with a $250 voucher that will go directly to their veterinarian for the care of the pet.
Converse Family Fund
The Converse Family Fund Program assists Frederick County Maryland residents who wish to adopt a pet for their family, or have recently adopted a pet, but temporary financial issues prevent veterinary care. The funding for this program has been generously provided by the Converse Family, and is managed by the Community Foundation of Frederick County.

Humane Education
Children are not born knowing how to properly treat and care for an animal. It is up to us to educate them. Rather it be showing them how to simply pet an animal, to distinguishing between rough play and gentle play so that your child understands and respects a pet. To assist in this process we offer various pet-related seminars.
Our seminars are designed not only for children, but for all types of pet ownership. For more information, please contact our office.
Trap Loans
In an effort to offer assistance to those who wish to humanely trap cats and kittens for the purpose of spay, neutering and re-release purposes, we offer a small inventory of traps for loan. A minimal refundable security deposit may be required at the time of pickup.
Humane Traps are available at our office located at 1786 North Market Street, Frederick, MD. Please be sure to call our office at (301) 694-8300 to confirm that Traps are available prior to pickup.
