Welcome to Baywater Animal Rescue

We proudly serve as the Eastern Shore's leading No-Kill Animal Shelter and Welfare Organization!
Wow! That's a mouth-full! What does it mean?
A lot! Especially if you are a pet who is temporarily in our care or a lover of animals!
Our 2020 Save Rate reached 99.8%.
Animals move through our shelter daily because we believe that
an empty boarding area means there's a pet somewhere that can be saved.
We focus on the best match for pets and people,
not just adoption statistics.
We are totally dependent on public donations. We receive no state, county, or federal funding.

Looking for Love?

We like to think ourselves as the ultimate matchmakers...

Baxter and Emmett are calling out to be your forever love. We will arrange the date but you have to act fast ... someone else may catch their eye and heart! But have no fear, if these beautiful pets have found love, then it wasn't meant to be. Check out our other potential matches!
We'll help you find a mate so that love can bloom for you too!
