We started in 1978 with 25 volunteers, $100, and a single objective:
to rescue dogs and cats hit by cars. Today we are over 1,000 families
strong and our services have greatly expanded. We shelter and
rehabilitate rescued animals in our modern facility, operating
for the benefit of both the animals and residents of Charles County,

August 2007: Mid-Atlantic Great Dane
Rescue League, Inc., serving
seven states of the Mid-Atlantic
Like all humane groups, MAGDRL is in the unique position
of helping both humans and pets. In our case, the pets are Great

want the companionship of the breed or, often, just dogs in general.
MAGDRL was organized in 1979 and is staffed completely by volunteers.

Dog Town Canine Rescue is NOT your ordinary dog rescue... We are
a very active, hands-on type of organization, and we have volunteers
who enjoy truly making a difference in the lives of unwanted dogs.
We are not afraid to be outspoken or controversial. We are not
afraid to stand up for what is right. (www.dogtownrescue.com)

Collie Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. Our
mission is to place stray, abandoned and surrendered collies into

adoption fees and donations from the public. Needless to say,
your donations and personal support are always appreciated and
greatly needed. (www.huskyhaven.org)

Trails, Arlington VA
We rescue dogs, cats and small animals from rural Virginia and
West Virginia shelters where their chances of finding permanent

the rural facilities from which they come so that they can take
in and care for more animals and activate aggressive spay/neuter
programs in their counties. (www.homewardtrails.org)
