Education and Outreach
We invite the community to participate in any of our educational programs listed below. You can also schedule a shelter tour to learn about our history, operation, and adoptable pets.
PLEASE NOTE: In order to accommodate all requests, we prefer that tours be scheduled at least 4 weeks in advance. For the remainder of year, the classes listed below are only available during weekdays.
Businesses and youth groups are also invited to plan a service project for our no-kill shelter. To schedule tools, enroll in classes, or for questions, please contact us at [email protected] or by calling 410-833-8848 x 224 to get started.
