My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Poor Max suffered from years of neglect by his owner.
Max was so matted his neck and leg motion was restricted by the armor like encasement of the matting. It is a miracle his limbs weren’t strangulated necessitating amputation. Pictures show his before face, feet, private areas and mats which were wrapped around his teeth. Warning these pics may be upsetting to some.
Max was also infested with too many fleas to count and putridly filthy.
It is a miracle he survived.
It took his groomer 4 hours to shave off the hair and filth and she is very skilled and experienced.
My outrage at his condition is only tempered by the relief he was legally surrendered to our rescue.
Max is sweet as can be and is a small approximately 10 year old poodle.

Additional adoption info

In addition to adoptions to the public, we also work with local, approved, reputable rescues to place dogs and cats rescued from high-kill shelters.

More about this rescue

KMR Inc. was founded in 2010 by Susanne Hoshino in order to rescue homeless animals from high-kill environments. We assess, vet, adopt out, and/or transport to our Rescue Partners and provide outreach/education for pet retention and animal welfare.
Our core mission at Kindness Matters Rescue is to place adoptable homeless animals into loving forever homes and to promote responsible companion animal welfare through support, outreach, and education.
Kindness Matters was born in 2010 after a visit to a local animal control facility made Susi aware of the magnitude of the homeless animal problem. KMR is committed to lowering the staggering euthanasia rate and rescue as many wonderful adoptable pets as possible. We work constantly to build a magic net of rescue relationships throughout the Eastern Shore and the United States in order to rescue the most animals possible from these facilities.
Kindness Matters Rescue became a 501 c3 Charity in the beginning of 2019. We are very proud of the fact that we have rescued over 1,700 animals in our nine-year history.
