Pugh Zoo Rescue - Jarrettsville Pet Shelter

Pugh Zoo Rescue

We are dedicated to rescuing homeless, abandoned or unwanted animals in danger of death, abuse or neglect. We place animals in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes thorough applications/questionnaires/conversations, taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing an animal into their homes and lives. Animals in our care are spayed/neutered if applicable, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in caring foster homes while they await placement in their forever homes. Virtually every dollar taken in goes directly to the care of the animals. Our rescue remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the animal beyond the adoption process. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations across the country to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets.

Adoption Process

If you see an animal you would like to adopt the first step in the adoption process is submitting the completed adoption application. Once we receive the completed application we will take a few days to process your application. We will be calling your vet and personal references, so please be sure you give them a heads-up and permission to speak with one of our volunteers to help the process move along. After your references are called and the application is thoroughly looked over we will contact you to discuss the dog(s) you are interested in and any questions we have. Please use this phone call to ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have. If all of that goes well we will either do your home check next or invite you to meet the dog depending on if the dog is in Maryland already and how far from us you live. If you live far, we will have a volunteer do your home check before you come to meet the dog so that if all goes well at the meet and greet your family will be fully approved to take your new family member home. All occupants of the home, including resident dogs, will need to attend the meet and greet. When you are set to take your new baby home we will have you fill out an adoption contract and pay the applicable adoption fee. Please bring a leash and collar (we recommend martingale style collars to prevent a dog slipping out and bolting as they may get scared adjusting to their new environment) to take your new dog home in. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!
