Any group or organization which provides temporary holding, care, and treatment for a companion animal pending permanent adoption may apply for an animal foster care permit. The requirements are: The group or organization must be approved and registered with the Animal Services Division of the Prince George's County Department of the Environment and meet the following requirements: Proof of Federal registration as a nonprofit or not-for-profit organization; Proof of incorporation in the state in which they do business, as well as proof of good standing; and Compliance with all Federal, State, and local laws. Each individual location fostering animals must be registered with the Animal Services Division. The custodian must be associated with a group or organization registered with the Prince George's County Animal Services Division. Each foster location is limited to ten (10) animals including animals owned by the custodians, residents, or caregivers. Any foster location housing more than ten (10) animals must apply for an Animal Holding Center permit. Each foster location must be inspected on an annual basis upon renewal of the permit. In addition, the Animal Services Division may inspect the location for compliance with requirements for the care and maintenance of each animal. Each animal owned by custodians, residents, or caregivers at each foster location must be legally registered with Prince George's County and must be up-to-date on rabies inoculations and other required preventative care requirements. Animals being held for temporary foster care may be kept for ninety (90) days without being licensed by Prince George's County. An extension of no more than sixty (60) days may be applied for, and may be granted by, the Associate Director of the Animal Services Division. After that time, the animals will be considered owned animals and must be licensed with the County. The Animal Services Division must be notified when a new animal is accepted for temporary foster care and when an animal is adopted from the foster location. The Animal Services Division will maintain and keep current a list of animals at each foster location. With the exception of the animal licensing requirement, each foster location must meet the requirements set forth for an animal hobby permit. In addition to the penalties set forth for failure to obtain or maintain an animal foster care permit, the custodian is also subject to fines for failure to obtain an animal license for each animal held in custody.
