Anne Arundel County Animal Control issued the following announcement on March 8.
PLEASE SHARE: We often see comments from people that they don’t want to follow the law and turn a found animal in to our shelter but there is good reason for this law. Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control is the ONE PLACE all found animals should go if their owner can’t be found within 24 hours. Help us reunite lost pets with their families!
