Who We Are
Maryland Animal Rescue is a newly formed group dedicated to helping homeless dogs find their forever home. Our dogs do not have a "time limit" and our kept in loving foster homes until a forever home is found - no matter how long.
Adopting a friend
To adopt a dog from Maryland Animal Rescue, please notify us by email of your interest. We will send you a no-obligation application. Part of our process is doing a home check with the dog to make sure the environment is safe and so that you can have interaction with your potential new family member in your own home.
Create an alert and get notified with newly adoptable pets that meet your criteria.

Additional adoption info
The first step in the adoption process is to find a dog who might be a good match for your family and complete a NON-BINDING application, either online or at an adoption event. If you see a dog listed on Petfinders or our website who appeals to you, we encourage you to apply online. If you have questions prior to completing an application, feel free to write us at marylandanimalrescue@aol.com.
Once your application is received, it will be promptly reviewed and you will be contacted within 48 hours. The next step is to visit with the dog at an adoption event or a privately arranged meeting. Please bring a hard copy of your completed application with you. If you decide to pursue your interest in a particular dog after meeting him/her/them, you will be interviewed at the meeting. It is important for all family members to be present for the interview/s unless prior arrangements have been made.
After the interview process, home visits are done for the applicants selected. The process generally takes about a week from start to finish. Please note: Applications are not approved on a first come first serve basis; rather, the home that seems to be the best fit for the dog is chosen.
The purpose of the application process is to find the best fit for dog and person/family. You may submit one application for multiple dogs.
You must be over the age of 21 years for your application to be considered.
Our adoption fee for all dogs and puppies is $275.00. Dogs will be fully vetted prior to adoption, which includes: basic shots, spay/neuter and microchip. If a dog is not spayed or neutered prior to adoption (due to medical reason or age), a refund of $100 will be made upon proof of spay/neuter.
Our adoption area covers the VA/DC/MD Metropolitan area.
