Defenders of Animal Rights, Inc., is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating cruelty to all animals. Founded in 1975, we celebrate our 41st Anniversary this year!
In 1988, our shelter opened in the middle of a 35.8 acre wildlife sanctuary in Northern Baltimore County. What makes Defenders so unique is that we hold adoptable animals for as long as it takes to find each and every one a forever home. We have adopted out over 26,000 animals! Our adoption rate is about 97%.

Our rescue work depends on kind people like you to help STOP animal cruelty and strive for a kinder tomorrow.
