NCSR is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping Shelties in DE, MD, WV, SE PA and surrounding areas. Our founding philosophy is to assist Shelties regardless of age or condition whenever possible.

We are a small 501c3 (since 1998) located in Chesapeake City, MD. We are able to have 12 - 15 dogs at a time in our kennel. We rescue dogs from high kill shelters who will be family friendly dogs. Our president was on the Board of the local SPCA for 19 years and recognized the need for a rescue in our area.

Small Angels Rescue, Inc., is a Frederick County, MD based 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and rats. Small Angels was established in the fall of 2003 and since then has successfully rescued over 4,500 small animals. While we do not have a physical shelter, we use a network of foster homes instead to care for the animals until they find a forever home. We believe that these small animals deserve an exemplary quality of life, through proper habitat, nutrition, enrichment, companionship, and veterinary care. We strive to educate the public on the characteristics of these small animals and provide comprehensive care sheets to help spread the word!

OUR MISSION We are dedicated to rescuing homeless, abandoned or unwanted animals in danger of death, abuse or neglect. We place animals in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes thorough applications/questionnaires/conversations, taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing an animal into their homes and lives. Animals in our care are spayed/neutered if applicable, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in caring foster homes while they await placement in their forever homes. Virtually every dollar taken in goes directly to the care of the animals. Our rescue remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the animal beyond the adoption process. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations across the country to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets.

Since its founding in 2003, HART has saved the lives of thousands of adoptable animals in Western Maryland by reducing pet overpopulation through low-cost spay/neuter programs; building the HART Adoption Wing where adoptable animals are safe while waiting for their forever homes; and rescue and transport adoptable animals to reputable adoption organizations. To support and sustain the operations of our mission, the HART Animal Center provides pet care services that include the full-service Bredel Veterinary Clinic for the health and well-being of your pets, the Bed ‘n Bark Inn pet hotel, MUTTWorks Grooming Salon and the HART Shoppe. The HART Adoption Wing is located at the HART Animal Center.

K&P is dedicated to saving the lives of animals. We rescue animals from the street or pull them from high capacity shelters and place them in a loving foster home where they receive individualized attention and care. All animals in our program are fed a holistic diet to promote health and happiness.

All dogs are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, have a microchip, and temperament tested PRIOR to adoption. Dogs are adopted as housepets ONLY.

The mission of Town Cats is to enrich the lives of free-roaming, feral, or abandoned cats in the Ocean City, Md and surrounding communities by limiting the population growth and providing medical care through Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR), and affordable adoption services. Town Cats was organized in 1998 in order to address the feral cat population of Ocean City, Maryland. When they went home in the fall, many summer visitors would leave behind the cats they had been feeding all summer to face the winter without food or shelter. Those that survived would inevitably breed in the spring, producing litters of feral kittens that would eventually produce more unwanted kittens. Something had to be done to stop the litters and so Town Cats was born to spay/neuter/vaccinate the feral cats of Ocean City.

The St. Mary's Animal Welfare League is a nonprofit, rescue organization that specializes in the rescue, care and placement of abused, neglected and homeless companion animals. Our animals are vaccinated, microchipped, spayed or neutered and receive medical treatment before being placed in carefully selected homes. We strive to educate the community in areas of humane education and responsible pet ownership as well as helping to control the pet overpopulation in our area by promoting the spaying and neutering of all companion animals.
