Greyhound Welfare is a greyhound placement group. We place ex-racing greyhounds throughout the metropolitan Washington DC area, to include DC, Northern Virginia, and Central/Southern Maryland. Our goal is to make excellent placements, even if that means fewer placements. Greyhound Welfare is staffed entirely of unpaid volunteers dedicated to the welfare of greyhounds. Our ex-racers come to us from tracks in the Mid-Atlantic and South, and the dogs are transported to our area by truck. Our volunteers meet the truck drivers at highway rest stops, pick up our dogs, and after giving them a chance to stretch their legs, take them home. For most of these dogs, this is their first car ride, and boy, are they good at making nose prints on your windows! Once they arrive in their foster homes, dogs are groomed and bathed, fed and walked, and given a well padded crate to rest in after their long journeys. Greyhound Welfare is a 100% foster home group, which means that all our greyhounds live in real homes until they are placed.

Cecil County’s Animal Care and Control Authority and 501c3 Nonprofit, No Kill Animal Rescue. A Buddy for Life – Available Pets for Adoption Favorite

In 1927, Elsie Seeger Barton founded the Humane Society of Baltimore County, now known as the Baltimore Humane Society (BHS.) Since that time, Mrs. Barton’s selfless dream of establishing a refuge for abused and homeless animals has since come to fruition, situated on 365 acres of peaceful farmland in Reisterstown, Maryland. Over the years, BHS has provided safe and loving homes for literally hundreds of thousands of wonderful animals. We also operate a low-cost Spay/Neuter & Pet Wellness Center, which assists in helping to control the epidemic of pet overpopulation and serve low-income pet owners with quality pet care and vaccinations. In addition, Nicodemus Memorial Park, on the grounds of BHS, provides a final resting place for many beloved pets. And finally, 343 acres of our land serve as a protected wildlife preserve, alive with deer, fox, several species of birds, and numerous other types of local wildlife. Favorite
