Every smile is a cry for help! With help from the local shelters, we've compiled a list of the cutest shelter pets available in Maryland. Check out this week's adorable options!

"I'm just the prettiest girl you have ever seen, and I use that power to get whatever I want, even if it's your lunch!

"I am the dog that everyone is looking for. Seriously, I'm kind of awesome. The staff loves me and I love them, but I'm really looking for a warm bed to cuddle in and a warm soul to cuddle with. I'm super-smart and have already learned all the basic tricks like sit and stay. By the way, I love a good booty scratch; it's my favorite thing in the entire world. If you are willing to dedicate some extra time to take me for a daily walk and exercise me, make me yours, here!"
