Saving the Lives of Homeless Animals

Since 2003, HART for Animals, Inc. has been rescuing and finding homes for animals in Western Maryland, West Virginia, and Western Pennsylvania.

 
 

Who is HART for Animals?

HART for Animals is a unique animal facility, nestled on 6.5 acres in the mountains of Western Maryland, near the vacation destinations of Deep Creek Lake and WISP Resort. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to saving the lives of companion animals through rescue and adoption. Our operating model includes a full-service veterinarian practice, a pet hotel, and pet-grooming services, all within the center. The revenues from these services help support our Adoption Wing which can simultaneously house 60 dogs, 40 cats, and multiple litters of kittens while they wait to be adopted into loving homes.
