Baywater Animal Rescue

Welcome to Baywater Animal Rescue, formerly known as The Humane Society of Dorchester County. Located at 4930 Bucktown Rd, Cambridge, MD, we have been dedicated to the rescue and care of companion animals for over 77 years. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide humane shelter and care for animals in need while promoting kindness and opportunity for life. We believe that every animal deserves a second chance at happiness and a loving home. Throughout the years, we've achieved an impressive 98.5% 10-year average save rate, demonstrating our commitment to animal welfare and rescue. Our work wouldn't be possible without the incredible support from our generous community. Your contributions through donations and volunteering help us continue our mission. At Baywater, we embrace innovative practices like our Shelter Life Enrichment Program (SLEP), designed to enhance the lives of our animals while increasing their adoptability. Through engaging activities and challenges, our volunteers help keep our dogs and cats mentally stimulated and happy, resulting in a remarkable 47% increase in adoption rates! We invite you to become part of our mission by adopting a pet, volunteering your time, or donating to our cause. Join us in creating love stories and lasting bonds between animals and their forever families. Explore fostering opportunities, and be a significant part of saving lives in your community. Whether you're looking to adopt a dog, cat, or support our community spay and neuter programs, we're here to help connect people and pets. For more information about volunteering or to get involved, please contact us at 410-228-3090 or email [email protected] We are open Tuesday through Saturday, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Thank you for your interest in Baywater Animal Rescue. Together, we can make a difference for animals in need.
