Maryland SPCA

Maryland SPCA Helping animals since 1869! The MD SPCA improves pets' and people's lives in Baltimore and beyond.
(1370)

The Maryland SPCA adopts out more than 3,000 needy and unwanted pets each year. There is no time limit for an animal to stay in our care until they're adopted. Our staff and volunteers provide excellent care to the dogs and cats. Each pet receives medical care including neuter surgery, vaccinations, treatments, as well as TLC. Enrichment is also provided so that the animals have positive activitie

s to reduce stress. Our state-of-the art adoption center provides warmth and comfort while the pets await new homes. Our Spay and Neuter Clinic performs approximately 9,000 surgeries each year, making the Maryland SPCA the state leader in providing this crucial life-saving service. The Maryland SPCA also acts as a referral resource for residents throughout Maryland searching for neuter services. Surgeries are provided to animals in our adoption program, other shelters and rescue groups, low-income pet owners, and feral cats all with the aim to reduce pet overpopulation in our community. In addition to our adoption and spay/neuter services, we also transport pets in need from other area shelters. Each year, we bring in more than 1,300 animals from other shelters to help save more lives in the community. Other lifesaving programs include a foster program that cares for young and injured pets who need time to grow and heal in a home setting. Our Wellness Clinic provides care for over 5,000 pets in the community every year. Training classes are offered to help keep pets in homes and out of shelters. Volunteers and staff also visit area schools each year to teach kindness to animals to children. Thanks to the support of the community, we are able to provide these programs that help pets and people and save animals’ lives.

White Marsh Mall is teaming up with the Maryland SPCA for a special Kid's Club event featuring our Wagging Tales & Crafts education program! 🐕‍🦺 🎨

This fun and educational session will focus on how our shelter helps keep pets in their homes, followed by an interactive story time. We will read a book about the essential items needed before bringing a pet into your home. Afterward, the children will create portraits of our shelter pets, complete with a description of what the pet loves. These portraits will then be displayed at the shelter!

02/03/2025

As BARCS continues their paused dog intake, our shelter has been over capacity. Since 1/21/25, we have taken in more dogs than all of January 2024 and nearly three times the amount of strays than usual.

Please consider adopting, fostering, or just spreading the word.

If you can't foster full time, consider joining our Couch Crashers short-term fostering program! You can find more information at mdspca.org/couchcrashers

As BARCS continues their pause on dog intake because of an outbreak of CIRDC cases, we have shifted our normal process to react to what Baltimore City currently needs. As a result, we are currently over capacity with dogs.

We are in urgent need of adoptions and fosters, and all adult adoption fees are currently waived. Visit https://www.mdspca.org/adopt and https://mdspca.org/foster to see who we have available!
