Welcome to the Maryland SPCA
The Maryland SPCA’s mission is to improve the lives of pets and people in the community. There is no time limit for an animal to stay in our care until he is adopted. We receive no operating funds from the government or the ASPCA. We rely on donations to continue our work. Your support saves lives! The MD SPCA is a Four Star Charity Navigator-rated organization. 
Maryland SPCA is proud to be a founding member of the Baltimore Animal Wellfare Alliance, consisting of the major animal welfare organizations in Baltimore. The Baltimore Animal Welfare Alliance’s mission is to work together to save animals’ lives.
