Currently Adoptable Pets

We are a foster system; we do not have a facility. Meet & greets are by appointment and for approved adopters only. Please understand this list may not be fully up tp date. 

Our Adoption Process

ASHA finds homes for the rescued animals via many means, including adoption as well as Foster-To-Adopt

The first step is submitting the app, emailing the required supporting documents detailed in your application to ASHAmaryland@gmail.com, and submitting the nonrefundable $15 adoption deposit via Donorbox

Foster-To-Adopt

Providing families the chance to foster the rescued animal for 4 weeks to see if it is a good match.

*Cats under 6 months of age, or have pending applications on them, are not eligible*

Schedule  Virtual Home Check

We will reply to your application from Step 1 within 48 hours. We ask that you Reply All to ASHA's email within 48 hours, addressing any questions and providing your availability for the virtual home check interview. This focuses on ensuring you have all the basic supplies set up in an isolation/introduction room (when adopting a feline), and answering any questions you have.

In order to foster-to-adopt you must submit the following forms:

Schedule Meet & Greet Adoption Visit!

Once approved, you will receive an email with the adoption contract & adoption fee (minus your deposit), and the contact info of the foster parent for the pet you're interested in adopting. The foster parent will give their availability for the meet & greet visit at their home. These usually go perfectly, and the pet is adopted on the spot - as long as the adoption contract and adoption fee are submitted first. So be sure to bring a vet approved transportation carrier for your new furry family member!

We do follow up with adopters to ensure all is going well. We encourage adopters to follow up with us if they have any questions or concerns at any point during our alumni animal's lifetime.

Please register your new pet's microchip immediately after adoption - we will send you a link for this via email.


For pets that are not yet spayed or neutered it is the adopter's responsibility to get the pet spayed or neutered by six (6) months of age, or within one (1) month of the date of adoption, whichever comes first. ASHA will try to provide spay and neuter appointments for kittens adopted prior to their alteration, which the adopter is responsible for paying for. We require adopters to provide ASHA with a copy of the Certificate of Spaying or Neutering immediately upon completion. This is legally required by our Adoption Contract.


If you move, please send us your new address ASAP so we can keep our system up to date.


Adopters must contact ASHA immediately if the adopted animal is lost, stolen, or dies.
