Reed's Rescue

Mission: To rescue dogs of senior age or deemed to be terminally ill from area shelters, dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of decompensating in the shelter environment.

Reeds Rescue is a non-profit volunteer dog rescue organization serving Baltimore County and surrounding areas. The purpose of Reeds Rescue is to provide a safe place for terminally ill and elderly dogs that would otherwise be placed in an animal shelter. We provide the attention and compassion that is necessary for dogs to thrive for their remaining years through volunteers, fosters and adoptions to loving families.

Operating as a nonprofit, our main objective is to provide all necessary care for dogs in need to the best of our ability with the volunteer and financial resources raised through various fundraising opportunities. Reeds Rescue, the board, and the volunteers strive to work with area shelters, the community, and other rescues to develop a network of supporters to create a better world for the elderly and terminal pets in need.

Animals in our care will receive all appropriate veterinary care, training, and treatment as needed. Reeds Rescue provides nurturing foster homes to dogs while they await placement in their permanent homes. When appropriate, we place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes. We also provide education to prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of committing to an adopted dog.
