Baywater Animal Rescue
What’s a better way to start your trip with your dog than by visiting and hanging out with other canines? Maryland proudly houses one of the top no-kill animal shelters in the entire Mid-Shore, Baywater Animal Rescue. The rescue center has been around since 1947 and has been the home of several wonderful animals who are up for adoption. Despite having little resources and funds, the Baywater Animal Rescue continues to provide a refuge for pets who have been abandoned or are homeless. The shelter believes that if they can provide the people in their community with some special resources, these people would be able to take care of their pets, thereby effectively lessening the amount of surrendered pets. For instance, the shelter donates food to owners who have financial struggles but would like to keep their pets.Â
