Maryland SPCA

Maryland SPCA Helping animals since 1869! The MD SPCA improves pets' and people's lives in Baltimore and beyond.
(662)

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.

Even though Caesar is in his golden years don't let his grey hairs fool, he still has lots of pep in his step! He loves rolling around in the grass, playing with toys, and just “watching the world go by.” Caesar is a social butterfly when going for walks, greeting every human that comes his way.

While under their care Caesar's foster parents had nothing but positive things to say about him:
Caesar is an absolute JOY from the moment he gets up in the morning till saying pleasant dreams to him at night. He is wonderful company, a love, and so much fun to be with. Whoever adopts this angel into their wonderful home will be most fortunate.

Charlie thrives on adventure and would flourish with owners who appreciate his lively personality and are willing to engage in regular physical and mental activities. His cheerful spirit shines while playing tug or catching treats mid-air. When not playing, he enjoys curling up in your lap or becoming the big spoon during cuddles. This smart cookie knows a plethora of cues, is crate trained, and is always well-behaved at the groomers. It doesn’t get any more perfect than Charlie!

Marshmallow is a chill guy just looking for love! He’ll be happy to greet you at the door and snuggle up beside you on the couch. Batting around his squishy ball, stalking birds and squirrels through the window, and taking long, leisurely naps in the afternoon are how marshmallow likes to spend his days. On top of everything he is an incredibly polite kitty (his foster parents appreciate that he doesn’t scratch any of their furniture or bother the houseplants!)

Meet Smith Island, affectionately nicknamed Smiffy by her foster parents. She is a petite and gentle soul who was found as a stray. Understandably, she was shy and scared of her new environment. Over time though, Smith Island found her footing and learned that humans can be friends rather than something to fear. During her time in the shelter she enjoyed participating in dog playgroups, gradually building her confidence and learning to trust again. She is currently thriving in foster and would make the perfect companion for anyone looking for a new best friend!

Note from her foster:
Camile is a sweet, energetic cat who loves attention. Despite being seven years old, she loves to play with toys and gets the zoomies at all hours of the night. While she has a lot of energy, she's very well-behaved and has never knocked anything over or jumped up where she's not supposed to.

Camile is extremely loving. When she feels safe and comfortable, she'll bond very closely with you. She loves rolling around on carpets or rugs and being silly. When acknowledged, she'll respond with a little peep or meow.

Trooper is still looking for a home! 🥺

🐾 4 Years old
⭐️ $0 Adoption fee until July 6th
🐕 Sole dog
🙅‍♂️ No cats

Notes from her foster:
Trooper has all the makings of a perfect dog! She is incredibly easy to live with and is extremely lovable. Trooper, or Roo Roo, is a simple gal whose favorite things are napping in a spot of sunshine and playing with chew and tug toys.

With daily exercise, she's a couch walrus most of the time, and will either snuggle up with her person or find a cozy spot on her own. Troops enjoys daily walks in the morning and evening. She can be energetic on walks and we suspect she could be a good running partner with some training.

With continued love and opportunities for learning, Ms. Trooper would be the perfect pal for either a new or seasoned dog family. We love her SO MUCH and can't wait for her to find a warm, happy forever home.

From Bear’s foster:
Will Bear hibernate? Maybe the first day but not much longer. Bear loves his food and loves the lovin'! Each evening, after I feed him, I sit down to watch TV. Bear gets busy making biscuits on my lap. I kiss him on the head and he's loving every minute. We even rub noses! Sometimes I'll grab his favorite red mouse and fling it across the room cause Bear likes to go running for it! He'll even bring it back to me so we can keep playing. Then it's time for cuddles. He'll curl up by my side and off to dreamland. Will Bear see you in his dreams? If you're the lucky one he will!

Izzy is a sweet cuddly well-behaved pup that just wants human interaction and a lap to lay in or her bed in the sun will do just fine. She loves getting belly rubs and treats and will wag her tail and snort with glee like a little piggy. Izzy really just wants to get her beauty sleep all day, but if you want to give her back a good stretch she will mosey around the neighborhood and explore to her hearts content. You can trust Izzy to be left alone in the house with no destruction to be had, very well trained with no issues. Izzy is a delight and any family would be lucky to have her as one of their own.
