We are Black Dogs & Company Rescue, Inc. (BD&CR) We rescue dogs from high kill shelters in Maryland and surrounding states. We are an all breed rescue but specialize in black dogs. Please read about black dog syndrome. These dogs are the last to be adopted (if at all) so they have a hard time leaving the shelter. You may have also noticed the old english sheepdog in our logo. We are the regional contact for OES rescue. They are not the dog for everyone but once you own one (and walk the sheepie way) you will love the breed!

All interested potential adopters must fill out an adoption application. We do contact their Vet and also 2 personal references and conduct a preliminary background check. Once approved we conduct a home visit. All dogs and puppies have a $300 adoption fee and there is an adoption contract.
