New Classes: Kitten Kindergarten
Kitten Kindergarten will help get your tiny one started off on the right paw.
Welcome to the Maryland SPCA
The Maryland SPCA’s mission is to improve the lives of pets and people in the community. We are dedicated to helping both pets and people and to saving the lives of animals 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!
Maryland SPCA is proud to be a founding member of the Baltimore Animal Wellfare Alliance, consisting of the five major animal welfare organizations in Baltimore, working together to improve the well-being of animals in our community
