Prince Frederick, MD — The Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter in Calvert County is featuring Angelo, a 1.5-year-old mixed-breed dog, as a current adoptable pet. Volunteers at the open-admission facility describe Angelo as a “happy goofball” with a joyful spirit and a surprisingly gentle heart. The shelter, managed by the Calvert County Department of Public Safety, promotes Angelo as an ideal companion for those seeking an energetic yet affectionate dog.
Angelo is characterized as curious and sincere, often exploring the world nose-first while delighting in small adventures. He enjoys toys, engages in spontaneous zoomies, and interacts with people enthusiastically, treating them as the highlight of his day. Shelter representatives highlight his playful nature and social demeanor, noting he brings laughter, play and connection to potential homes. The promotion emphasizes that Angelo could brighten daily life and turn every walk into an adventure for the right adopter.
The Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter, located at 5055 Hallowing Point Road in Prince Frederick, serves as Calvert County’s primary facility for stray and owner-surrendered animals. Named in honor of former County Commissioner Linda Kelley, a longtime advocate for animal rights and humane treatment, the shelter strives to provide compassionate care and responsibly rehome animals in line with the Five Freedoms of animal welfare. It operates as an open-admission organization, accepting animals regardless of species, breed, health or temperament.
Prospective adopters must complete a pre-screening questionnaire before meeting animals outside their kennels. The process helps staff assess lifestyle compatibility and home environment. The dog adoption fee is $75, which covers services such as vaccinations, spay/neuter and microchipping where applicable. Completing the form does not guarantee adoption or place a hold on an animal; the first qualified applicant typically proceeds.
Interested individuals can view Angelo’s profile through the shelter’s online service link provided in the promotion. To begin the adoption process, applicants should download and submit the Dog Adoption Questionnaire, available on the county website. The shelter encourages frequent checks of its adoptable pets page, as availability changes and no holds are placed on animals.
The facility supports community efforts through partnerships like Friends of the Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter (FOLLKAS), a nonprofit that aids in supplies, treatments and other needs for homeless animals. No additional details on Angelo’s specific intake date, breed mix or medical history were available in public sources beyond the volunteer description.
