Dog Sanctuary Near Towson, Maryland
North of Towson, out in Upperco’s farm country, our sanctuary dogs get what they should have had all along: a home that doesn’t change and care that doesn’t stop.
Who sanctuary is for
Sanctuary is for dogs who can’t be safely or fairly rehomed: dogs with conditions that need daily management, older dogs who shouldn’t face another move, dogs with a bite history or special handling needs, and dogs whose recovery will take far longer than a foster stay.
For them, sanctuary means a stable routine, real medical care and the chance to enjoy their days, for as long as they live.
Space is very limited and isn’t available on request. Most sanctuary dogs come to us through our own rescue work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sanctuary dog?
A sanctuary dog stays in permanent or long-term care because traditional adoption would not be safe or appropriate for them, often because of medical needs, age, behavior history, bite history or special handling requirements. Sanctuary is a commitment to give them a good life anyway. Learn about sanctuary care.
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 sponsor a specific dog?
Yes. When you sponsor, you can choose a specific dog or support the rescue wherever the need is greatest.
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.
