Prissy's Story...
SMAWL found me with some babies years ago and gave me a place to live. I have been going to Cat Manners School ever sense. I’m learning to trust humans again and could use a home with someone who will give all they can to me. I live with my foster mom now and I love to share the bed with her at night. I enjoy other cats too as long as they are nice to me. I like kids ( BUT )sometimes they can scare me. I have been on a great diet with my foster mom. I have been losing the old baby fat I put on after I had my kittens and I should stay on this diet at my furever home. I’m a lovely cat who just wants a furever to call my own! I like being brushed and once I get to know you love my belly rubs! I’ll need time to adjust to a new home. If you would like to give me a furever home please contact furrballzone@yahoo.com .
Up-Date on Prissy
Prissy has recently had to get all her teeth removed. This means she will need to stay on wet food for the rest of her life. Having all her teeth gone doesn't hold her back in any way! SHE IS STILL FULL OF LIFE AND SPUNK.

Have you been thinking about adding a pet to your family? Why not save a dog or cat in need of a home by adopting from the St. Mary's Animal Welfare League?
All of our animals are spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on shots. The adoption fee for a dog is $150 and a cat is $125. This tax deductible donation helps to cover the cost of spaying/neutering, vaccinations, health checks and other medical needs. E-mail us to meet some of our wonderful animals. Please be patient as our response time may be slow; our entire organization is run by volunteers. We have no paid staff, so we must return e-mails around our full time jobs and families. We will be in touch as soon as possible though. If you do not receive a response in 48 hours, feel free to email us again in case your previous message was not received. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work hard to save the homeless animals of St. Mary's County!

Our Adoption Process...
It is the St. Mary’s Animal Welfare League’s policy to attempt to place each of our rescued animals in a home that is well- suited to their needs. Once an animal is placed from our rescue, the animal cannot be sold, given away or otherwise transferred. If the adopter is, at any time, unable to keep or continue to maintain the animal for any reason, the animal must be returned to the St. Mary’s Animal Welfare League.
We work hard at matching our animals to adopters, so they may end their search for a loving, permanent home. Temperament, special needs and personality are all factors in our placements.
Step #1
The Adoption Application
The initial step in our adoption process is the Adoption Application. This can either be done online or in person. The Adoption form must be filled out completely including vet references and two personal non-family references. Your application will be reviewed and your references will be contacted. We contact your veterinarian to ensure that your current or recently deceased pets were properly taken care of---this means being current on all vaccinations and spayed or neutered. In order to speed up the process, please contact your veterinarian and let them know to expect our call.
Step #2
Personal Interview You will be interviewed by a SMAWL Board Member or Volunteer either through phone, email or in person. This is an opportunity to learn more specifics about you, your family, your pets and the type of pet you are looking for. At this time, we may suggest that you consider a different animal---one that we may feel might be more acceptable for your situation. If you are completing your application in person, this will most likely be done at that time of completion.
Step #3
The Home Visit If all goes well with the application verification, we will schedule a home visit. A home visit is required to ensure that your home is everything you say it is on the Adoption Application. It needs to be a suitable safe environment for your new pet. All pets and family members should be home at this time.
Step #4
Meeting Your Potential Adoptee Once the Application has been reviewed and all references checked, arrangements will be made for you to meet with the animal you wish to adopt, either through the foster parent or the animal’s Case Manager. As a courtesy to our foster families, we do not ask them to show their animals to individuals until we have completed the application approval process. If you have other animals, we recommend a neutral meeting place, such as PETCO or a local park to ensure the animals are compatible outside of their own territory.
Step #5
Finalizing The Adoption Once the adoption has been approved, we will contact you to finalize the adoption. You will need to sign the contract and pay our adoption fee. (Dogs=$150 Cats=$125) At this time you can pick up your new member of the family!
Please Remember: Our entire organization is staffed by volunteers. We have NO paid staff. Our volunteers must work your application around their business and personal lives. It may take as long as one week for you to hear from someone, but typically most applications are approved within 7-10 days. Please be patient and thank the volunteers you meet for their service to our community’s homeless pet population.
