Animal Control Facility License Application

This application is required by the Maryland Department of Agriculture for animal control facilities that administer controlled drugs to sedate, euthanize, and/or vaccinate animals against rabies (by someone other than a veterinarian).

Animal control facilities may now renew their annual license online. The Responsible Individual of record should complete the process. If that person has changed since the last renewal, please contact the Board office at 410-841-5862. New facilities may also apply for a license online as well. Note: All Animal Control Facilities must adhere to minimum standards of care, as described in Code of Maryland regulations.
