Animal Rescue, Inc. - MD - Baltimore County
Animal Rescue, Inc is a non-profit, 501(c)(3)organization dedicated to finding homes for all the unwanted animals that come through our doors. We are a no-kill facility that never euthanizes animals because of cost concerns or inconvenience. We also run an extensive low-cost spay and neuter program for cats.
Description:
We have two locations -- our main shelter is in New Freedom, PA right above the Maryland Line where about 100 dogs and a few hundred cats live and call home. Our other facility, The Cattery, is located in Parkville, MD and is home to about 100 cats. We rely entirely on volunteers at our Cattery, and though it is hard work, we could not exist without our volunteers. Volunteers are needed for cleaning cat areas, feeding cats, and spending time with them. If you are interested in interacting with dogs, check out our main shelter on the Maryland Line.
History:
Animal Rescue was founded in 1976, by Grace Froelich as a result of being given the alternative to either give up her beloved cat or face eviction. Grace's philosophy is that an animal is a companion pet that is a member of the family, and deserves the same respect and considerations.
So, faced with that decision, Grace went to look for a new home, one where she would not have to make a choice to give up her pet. She bought a place, now affectionately nicknamed the "farm". After she bought her new home, the strays started showing up. A dog here, a cat there. She would feed them and let them stay. She felt strongly that they should never be homeless again. She eventually moved to adopting out some of them if she knew a good home looking for a new pet. And that is how it started. Animal Rescue, Inc is set up to a forever home for the homeless. Grace stands by her initial mission that they will never be homeless again. There will always be a home at the farm for them. Hopefully, they will find a conventional home to be a part of a loving family but if they never find a home, they can live as part of the Animal Rescue family.
