The HART Animal Center
Visit The HART Animal Center
Located in the mountains of Western Maryland, the HART Animal Center was built in 2014 and has been responsible for saving the lives of hundreds of homeless animals.
Our innovative model helps us fund our mission and has enabled us to have a state-of-the-art facility that houses hundreds of dogs and cats ready for adoption. Visit the HART Animal Center to adopt your next pet.
