Looking to add a fur kid to your family, volunteer or make a donation to a worthy non-profit? Here's a list of Annapolis area groups that make a difference (in no particular order):
While not located in Annapolis, this nation group fights to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals through the legal system. Through ALDF we found our dog Ben - who inspired many dog-friendly Annapolis charity events. We fostered Ben in 2005/6 during the ALDF vs. Woodley case. After two plus years, ALDF won the case in 2007 and freed over 300 dogs that would have never known what a home was if it was not for ALDF. Visit their site to learn more or to sign up for their newsletter. We are proud supporters of this amazing animal advocate organization that represents innocent clients.
