There are plenty of Baltimore area rescues, but good luck ever getting an animal in one. I'll list the ones I know of below, BUT word of warning first: There are several well meaning "collectors" also, so you really want to check any one who offers to help out firsteven if the person comes highly recommended by one or several other rescuesTRUST ME! First, the Baltimore area rescue to STAY CLEAR OF: Defenders of Animal Rights, Inc, a.k.a. Adopt A Pet in Phoenix, MD. Yes the shelter is beautiful, yes they say all the right things, yes they ask for a donation in order to drop an animal off, but more likely than not that animal will be dead before you get back in your caror shortly there after..The shelter never appears full, but I can tell you first hand that's NOT because they are so good at adopting animals out. (That's not to say that they don't do some good work, but
I've seen first hand...have first hand experience behind the scenes...) Stay Clear! (I have noterized affidavids from several people who worked there if you don't believe me.) If you are trying to place a felv+ cat, be forewarned that there is a "red-flag" on Ranch Hope, as far as I am concerned. The place looks beautiful, there is a life-long monthly fee charged for placing an animal there, but quite by accident I found out that many of the animals placed in there care are farmed-out to an over-burdened woman, with failing health who is assoc. with many rescues and has a farm with hundreds of dogs/cats, (she admitted to not knowing how many she had on site) etcShe tries, but the place, well lets just say every time I see on the news about a raid on a collecter, I look to see if it is her. She has a wonderful heart, but doesn't know when to say when, (has difficulties keeping up with the basic cleaning
and amitted she gets no financial help from Ranch Hope (and was surprised to learn that they charged such a high monthly maitenance fee from people leaving animals...esp when so many wind up with her.)

She also talked about the neighbors letting a little doggie out at night. I said, can't you call the city or a rescue? She's too infirm to know about that sort of thing.Anyhow - I'm looking for some support for her and her animals. I will, btw, look in Petfinder - just thought I'd check you guys out.Thanks,Gloria
