Rude Ranch Animal Rescue

Welcome to Rude Ranch Animal Rescue, a no kill and cageless animal sanctuary serving the Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington DC areas. This sanctuary was created and exists to aid, rehabilitate and rehome abused and abandoned animals that would otherwise be euthanized. Rude Ranch Animal Rescue, Inc. is a Maryland Registered, 501(c)3 not for profit charity.

Originally started in 1997, the property that currently houses the sanctuary was purchased in 1999. The house itself was built in 1995, and originally was used as a Hari Krishna temple. The design of the original house was augmented to facilitate the needs of the shelter. The main floor houses the administrative, storage and conference areas, while the lower floor is open to the public. There are three rooms for special needs cats on the upper floor.

Adoptions
Although the animals we rescue will have the best of care at the shelter, it is always our goal to find a special home for each pet. Therefore, if we deny an adoption application for a particular animal, please understand it is because we want the absolute best match of personality, temperament, and home environment for both the adoptive family and the pet.
