Finding loving homes for cats and dogs is our mission.
At CAWL, we always place animals in the best fit home. Never on a first come first serve basis.
Our mission is to serve the pets and people of Calvert County by operating a state of the art animal adoption and education center.
Our goal is to provide a friendly, caring environment to promote the adoption of unwanted, homeless animals and to be able to support these animals until they are adopted.
Our vision is to develop resources that allow us to offer educational programs that clearly define responsible pet care and respect for all animals.
Adoptable Cats and Dogs
Adoption hours are every Saturday from 11 am to 3 pm. All other times are by appointment only.
Want to Help CAWL?
We are always in need of volunteers to do animal caretaking, adoption counseling and even just walking our pups. If you want to help, you can volunteer, foster, or even donate some simple supplies or check out our wishlists!
Adoption Hours are every Saturday from 11:00 - 3:00!
Check out our awesome “Pets of the Month” below and come visit with them on Saturdays during our adoption hours! If you’d like to visit at another time, please email us at cawl@comcast.net to schedule.
Dog & Cat of the Month!
We like to showcase a special cat and dog each month that we know you will LOVE.
Meet Cocoa!
Meet Cocoa, a mixed breed hound, around 2 years old. Cocoa and her sister Darla found themselves at a shelter in VA. Cocoa is very sweet and friendly, and loves people. She knows some basic obedience training and loves to say hello to everyone new she meets.
If you’re looking for a playful smaller girl to be your new best friend, Cocoa is the the one for you. Come and meet her and see for yourself!
Meet Emerald!
Emerald came to CAWL from the Charles County Shelter. She is a shy but loving girl. She would be best being the only cat in the home. Emerald loves to play with wand toys and is very affectionate.
Visit us during our Saturday adoption hours or make an appointment to meet with this sweetie. Emerald is a great match for someone who is looking for a young cat with a lot of love to give.
