Many dogs are in need of help.
Stray and homeless dogs are a serious problem in Maryland and all other states. Dog rescue groups are made up of several volunteers who give their time to help dogs. Some rescues have shelters, while others keep the dogs in foster homes until they are adopted. To continue running, all rescues need donations in the form of money, supplies and time.

The group houses rescued dogs in foster homes until adoptive homes are found. The adoption fee covers all immunizations and any required medical care as well as sterilization.
