We have been in business since January 1989. We are a no kill shelter unless our vet says the animal is suffering, or if it wild, vicious, or just could not be tamed. We always take the effort to try and help the animal. We are a charitable non-profit organization ( State of Maryland under a 501-C3 ) which is conduction a fundraising campaign for programs to help save the lives of lost and stray animals who would otherwise face certain death in animal shelters or out on the streets.
