A Baltimore organisation with long roots
Founded in 1869, Maryland SPCA describes its present mission through pet retention, safety-net housing and community participation. Its main campus is on Falls Road in Baltimore. Alongside caring for animals awaiting homes, it works with people who already have pets and with educators who want to make animal welfare part of everyday learning.
A classroom curriculum with a dog ambassador
Wagging Tales TLC is led by teachers and serves classes from preschool through high school. Participating groups receive reading materials, digital lessons appropriate to their grade and activities, plus a visit from the education team and a dog ambassador. A stuffed dog adopted by the classroom gives children a continuing point of reference after the visit.
Reading hours and learning for adults
Wagging Tales Reading Hour welcomes children aged six to fifteen to practise reading while learning about shelters and compassion for pets. A separate Continuing Education programme serves adults and organisations working with them. Its presentations cover disaster preparation, animal behaviour, safety and practical companion-animal care, with an educator and dog ambassador involved in the session.
Art connected to real adopted animals
Kindness for Paws invites students from kindergarten through high school in Baltimore City and Baltimore County to draw portraits of adopted pets. Their work culminates in an exhibition at White Marsh Mall, with art also shown online. The activity gives classrooms a concrete subject for discussing empathy and respect while creating something connected to local animals.
Partnerships beyond the adoption floor
When another rescue can help with placement, Maryland SPCA uses a partner application covering housing, enrichment, foster rules, veterinary contacts and transport. It also asks how health and behaviour information will reach future carers. Organisations seeking to collaborate should use that route, while families and educators can consult the separate programme pages for their own participation.
