Summer Reading Program is back!
The Maryland SPCA's Summer Reading Program is back for kids ages 6-12 years old.
Welcome to the Maryland SPCA
The Maryland SPCA’s mission is to improve the lives of pets and people in the community. There is never a time limit for how long an animal can remain in our care. We receive no operating funds from the ASPCA. We rely on donations to continue our work. Your support saves lives!
