Charles County Animal Care Center officials are highlighting two energetic 1-year-old German Shepherd brothers named Ace and Zeus as currently available for adoption at the Hughesville shelter.
The pair stands out for their high-energy personalities and strong compatibility with active households. Staff describe them as outdoor enthusiasts who thrive on fetch games, long walks and discovering what they consider the perfect stick. Both dogs demonstrate solid basic training and reliable off-leash listening skills.
Ace and Zeus have successfully lived with children ages 2 and older, other dogs and even cats, making them strong candidates for many Southern Maryland families. Their playful yet affectionate nature often leads to enthusiastic chaos followed by contented naps on large dog beds.
Adoption options include taking one or both brothers together. Shelter representatives note that prospective owners should prepare for a yard that may never stay completely stick-free.
The Charles County Animal Care Center, located at 6707 Animal Shelter Road in Hughesville, encourages qualified applicants to meet Ace and Zeus in person. Adoption fees for dogs are $200 and typically include spay or neuter surgery, initial vaccinations, microchipping and other veterinary services.
This spotlight on the Shepherd brothers continues the center’s ongoing efforts to find permanent homes for adoptable animals in Southern Maryland. Potential adopters are urged to visit the facility or check current availability online through official Charles County channels.
Adopting from the local shelter directly supports community animal welfare programs and helps reduce shelter populations while giving deserving dogs like Ace and Zeus a second chance in loving homes across Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties.
