Rescue Dog Rehabilitation Near Hunt Valley, Maryland

West of Hunt Valley in Upperco, trainer Lyndsey Morgan works with rescue dogs who are fearful, reactive or shut down, building the trust and skills they need to live with a family.

Rehabilitation, at the dog’s pace

We begin with decompression: rest, quiet and a routine the dog can rely on. Then comes structure, with consistent handling and simple manners, and gradual introductions to people, other dogs and new places.

Lyndsey has trained dogs professionally since 2007 and runs Obedient BLUE in Upperco. Some dogs are ready in weeks and some need months. Others find their place is in sanctuary.

This is rehabilitation for dogs in our program. For your own dog, Obedient BLUE offers training services separately.

Helping from Hunt Valley

Sponsoring a dog in rehabilitation pays for the weeks or months of food, care and training it takes. Volunteers who can come out on weekends for walks and enrichment are welcome too.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Petey’s Promise?

Petey’s Promise is a dog rescue and sanctuary effort growing out of Lyndsey Morgan’s rescue work with Obedient BLUE. It helps homeless, abandoned, medically or behaviorally challenged, senior and sanctuary dogs get food, veterinary care, rehabilitation, training, shelter and long-term support. Read our mission.

Why can’t every dog be adopted?

Some dogs have ongoing medical conditions, a bite history, special handling needs or simply need more time. Placing them in a home that can’t meet those needs would put the dog and the family at risk. For these dogs, a stable sanctuary home is the safest, kindest option.

Can I volunteer?

Volunteer roles are still being organized. Send a volunteer inquiry and we’ll be in touch as opportunities open up. Submitting an inquiry doesn’t guarantee a position.

Where does my sponsorship money go?

Sponsorships support Petey’s Promise’s overall rescue and sanctuary work: veterinary care, food, medication, training and rehabilitation, safe housing, transportation, enrichment and emergency treatment. Funds may be used where the need is greatest.
