FFA provides immediate refuge and shelter to animals that have been abandoned by their owners and/or turned in to the local animal control facility where, if not claimed, are euthanized. We have a contract with Animal Control in that animals kept after 5 days may be released to our shelter if room permits so that they may be advertised for adoption. We also campaign vigorously and provide community information that strongly emphasizes the value and need for animal spaying/neutering. We remain committed to one ultimate goal: that no adoptable animal will be euthanized in Burke County and that we will promote the value of spaying/neutering whenever and wherever possible. FFA is a 501(c) (3) tax exempt organization.There are no state mandates in Burke County.

We are dedicated to cultivating a green-minded generation through environmental stewardship by using the teaching lens of the struggling honey bee, and empowering others through individual action.

The Senior Dog Sanctuary of Maryland strives to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome senior dogs. We will provide a permanent safe haven if the dog is not adopted. Many of the dogs that come through our doors were unable to be cared for by their owners, were abandoned or abused, or faced euthanasia. We opened in 2016 and have had over 700 dogs adopted out. We provide the medical care needed by each senior dog, including a full senior panel, and whatever care is needed up to and including surgery. Almost every senior dog needs a dental upon arrival. We spend, on average, $3,000 per dog. Our goal is to give them a second chance at life in a loving home. We want them to be as healthy as possible. We provide medication and most of the dogs are required to have prescription dog food to help with their medical conditions. We have a brick and mortar facility with kennels and a quarantine building. Our small but dedicated staff, as well as our wonderful volunteers spend time with the dogs and provide enrichment activities to keep them engaged. We also have a foster and hospice program so that the dogs can live in a home environment whenever possible. We give dogs with behavioral issues training to help them become more adoptable. We have also initiated a Seniors 2 Seniors Program to help senior citizens keep their pets by providing free dog and cat food. Thank you for considering the Senior Dog Sanctuary of Maryland.
