Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

Defenders of Animal Rights, Inc., is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating cruelty to all animals. Founded in 1975, we celebrate our 35th Anniversary this year!

In 1988, our shelter opened in the middle of a 35.8 acre wildlife sanctuary in Northern Baltimore County. What makes Defenders so unique is that we hold adoptable animals for as long as it takes to find each and every one a forever home. We have adopted out over 26,000 animals! Our adoption rate is about 97%.

Defenders of Animal Rights offers a variety of programs to benefit both the animals and the community. Below is a directory of services:

* Pet Adoption Center * Wildlife and Farm Animal Sanctuary * Animal Rescues and Veterinary Care * Rehabilitation of abused, neglected, & abandoned animals * Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Program * Lost and Found service * Grief Counseling * Youth Work/Community Service * Humane Education

    I don't see too many dogs for adoption on their page, just cats....I want to see more dogs, not cats...cats don't have it rough like dogs. Dogs are tied, and left without shelter, at least a cat can run and get food...was going to donate but seems like too many cats...I'm a dog lover
