Celebrate Dog Adoption Month in Anne Arundel County

October is American Humane’s annual Adopt-a-Dog Month, dedicated to the millions of animals waiting in shelters for someone to give them a safe, loving home. If you’ve been considering adding a four-legged family member, October is the perfect time!  Check out these adoption centers near our new home communities in Anne Arundel County.

SPCA of Anne Arundel County

Anne Arundel County Animal Control

Rude Ranch Animal Rescue
3200 Ivy Way | Harwood, MD 20776
Rude Ranch is a cage-less animal sanctuary, dedicated to providing care and finding homes for abused, abandoned and special needs animals, as well as providing low cost spay and neuter services.

When you’re ready to bring your furry family member home to your Koch Homes community, you’ll find plenty of open, green space for your new pet to explore!

• Visit Pondview’s community dog park, where there’s plenty of room to run around and play
• Gibson’s Grant has more than 2 miles of walking trails, perfect for taking your pup on a stroll to explore the landscape of the Eastern Shore
• In Blue Heron Estates you’ll never need to leave your yard, with large lots featuring about an acre of space (and a total of 30 acres of wooded community-owned open space)
• Harvest Ridge has a large “Neighborhood Green Area” for whole community to enjoy, where you can bring your dog to meet its new neighbors. Be sure to be a good neighbor yourself and pick up after your dog!
• At Timber Creek, lawn maintenance (and snow removal) is included, so all you have to worry about is bonding with your new family member!

This month, and all year long, we’re proud to support local animal shelters and we encourage everyone to “Adopt, Don’t Shop!”
