Dog Rescue Near Reisterstown, Maryland

Petey’s Promise is just up Hanover Pike from Reisterstown, in Upperco. We’re a small rescue that takes on the dogs other groups pass over: injured, older, frightened or simply out of time.

How rescue works for Reisterstown dogs

Whether a dog comes from Reisterstown or anywhere else, the path is the same. It starts with intake and immediate needs, then a veterinary evaluation, then a behavioral evaluation once the dog settles. Rehabilitation comes next, and finally adoption to the right family or lifelong sanctuary.

Because we’re so close, Reisterstown residents who bring a dog to our attention can often stay involved, whether through updates, visits or helping with transport.

Capacity is limited, so we can’t promise intake for every dog. Every message gets a real answer.
