About Heart of the Earth Sanctuary and Rescue

The Heart of the Earth Sanctuary and Rescue is a sanctuary, rescue and animal rights advocacy group who is committed to the promotion of the rescuing and adoption of homeless, abandoned, neglected and abused animals by creating an alliance with other sanctuaries, advocacy groups, rescues and animal shelters.

Our primary concentration is on helping and providing shelter for seniors and special needs animals.

We also will provide temporary assistance to those who need a place for their animals to stay while moving, or if they run into a life-changing event and there is no other choice. We see this as an alternative to taking them to a shelter if the owners wish to have them returned.

Our animals are not caged, with exception to the 2 week quarantine time that we feel is mandatory to allow ample incubation time for illnesses and for them to get used to seeing other cats/dogs.

All animals are tested and vaccinated with appropriate vaccines and are altered before adoption.

The Heart of the Earth will be as "green" as possible and will promote a "greener" and healthier lifestyle for humans as well as companion animals.

Heart of the Earth Sanctuary and Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Cumberland, MD.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
