URGENT: Sixteen Puppies and Dogs Were Transported to the Maryland SPCA Today from Another Shelter, and They Need Our Help Now!

Sharing from: Maryland SPCA

Just in...Urgent: Sixteen (16) puppies and dogs were transported to the Maryland SPCA today from another shelter, and they need our help now! (See their heart-warming little faces in video below.)

Our adoption center is closed, but our expert vet staff is here staying late to examine each of the 16 pets and address their immediate medical needs. This includes finding foster care for a young dog and her five, two-week-old puppies.

A generous friend of the MD SPCA heard about how much it will cost to care for these special pets, and he's offered to match, dollar-for-dollar, any donations raised now through 11:59 p.m. tomorrow, up to $5,000!

Please help these pets by making a donation of any amount, and your gift will go twice as far to help provide medical care, warm shelter and nutritious meals to these 16 pets who desperately need saving! Even a small gift can make a huge difference!

It's Official!! Dog Bite Legislation Was Signed by the Governor, Today! It’s An Important Day in Maryland

Sharing from: Maryland SPCA:

It's official!! Dog bite legislation was signed by the Governor, today! It’s an important day in Maryland. After several years of trying to pass legislation that would best protect dog bite victims and hold all dog owners accountable for their dogs without singling out one type or breed of dog, the House and Senate passed the legislation and the Governor signed it into law! The law is breed neutral, no longer holds landlords liable for dog bites, and no longer deems pit bulls as "inherently dangerous."

Thank you everyone who contacted their legislators over the last several years, encouraged others to contact their legislators, spoke and/or attended hearings in Annapolis, and participated in peaceful rallies. Your help made this a reality!
