Dog Rescue Near Towson, Maryland
For Towson, Petey’s Promise is the small rescue up in Upperco, in rural northern Baltimore County. We take on dogs who are injured, overlooked or out of time.
How rescue works for Towson dogs
Every dog goes through the same steps. First come intake and immediate needs like food, water, rest and a safe space. Then a veterinary evaluation, and a behavioral evaluation once the dog settles in. Rehabilitation follows, and finally adoption to the right family or lifelong sanctuary.
Moving from a busy town to Upperco’s quiet farm country is often the first thing that helps a stressed dog start to relax.
We’re small and capacity is limited, so we can’t promise intake. We’ll always give you a straight answer.
