At The Green K9 in Urbana, Maryland, we’re opening our doors to local rescue organizations for free adoption events — and here’s why.
At The Green K9 in Urbana, Maryland, we’ve always believed that a great pet store is more than shelves full of food and toys. It’s a community hub — a place where pet lovers meet, learn, and support each other. And nothing reflects that belief more than what we’re announcing today.
We’re officially inviting local rescue organizations to use our store space for free adoption events.
Whether you’re a small foster-based rescue pulling dogs from rural shelters or a larger organization placing hundreds of animals a year, our doors are open — literally. Our retail floor at 3340 Galena Drive in Urbana is available Monday through Saturday for adoption events at no cost to you. For rescues planning a larger, high-volume event, we’re willing to open on Sundays by arrangement. There is no rental fee, no application fee, and no catch. Just a shared love of animals and a desire to help more of them find homes.
Why We’re Doing This
We’ve spent 27 years building a business rooted in the belief that pets make families better. Pet and Home Care — our in-home pet sitting and care company — has served over 10,000 clients across Frederick and Montgomery Counties since 1999. Many of those families came to us shortly after adopting. We’ve seen firsthand how the right support in those first weeks makes all the difference for a new dog or cat and their people.
The Green K9 was built to be that support system. We specialize in biologically appropriate nutrition, quality products, and knowledgeable staff who can actually help a new pet parent figure out what their animal needs. An adoption event at our store isn’t just a location — it’s an on-ramp to a lifetime of better care.
Introducing the Astro New Pet Parent Rewards Program
When someone adopts a pet through an event at The Green K9, we want them to leave with more than a leash and a hopeful heart. Through our Astro New Pet Parent Rewards Program, every new adopter can claim free pet food and essential supplies to get started — and then receive ongoing discounts on the things their pet will need for years to come.

This means that when a family adopts from your rescue at our store, they don’t just get a pet — they get a community and a support system.
