Dog Rescue Of Maryland Asking For Help

Dear Mr. Albero,

I have just been reading your Salisbury News Blog and found it to be very informative. I would like to tell you a little bit about Dog Rescue of Maryland in hope of you adding us to your blog.

We are a relatively newly formed, non-profit all breed rescue operated by volunteers and from donations. Our mailing address is in Pasadena MD, Anne Arundel County and our volunteers are scattered about from Pasadena, Lansdowne, Joppa, Glen Burnie and Ocean City. We work very closely with Anne Arundel Co. Animal Control, have worked with other shelters, and on occasion taken owner surrenders of people who have fallen upon hard times.

The dogs we bring into the rescue from shelters have passed temperament tests and are very close to being euthanized through no fault of their own. Once we bring them into the rescue they are fully vetted and placed in volunteer foster care homes until adopted to approved through screening applicants.

Unfortunately we have had to house three of our dogs in a boarding kennel which has been quite costly, and recently incurred so very high medical bills for two of our shelter born puppies, all of which has drained our finances. We do as many events as possible to collect donations that has kept us in operation but our funds are dangerously low at this point. Without immediate additional funding/donations we fear we will have to close our doors by next month.

If you would please run an article about our rescue I'm sure your followers, and those on the Shore who have adopted their furry four legged family member from us would do what they could to help. Donations are tax deductable because we are 501c3 approved.

Thank you sincerely for your time and any help you can offer.
