About this shelter

Mutts Matter Rescue in Rockville, MD

MMR is a nonprofit organization recognized under section 501(c)(3) and operates entirely with volunteers, bringing together over 15 years of collective rescue experience. We collaborate with shelters and various organizations to rescue animals facing euthanasia, strays living on the streets, and those in unsafe environments. Our adoption services extend primarily to the Washington D.C., Virginia, and Maryland areas, with some exceptions made for specific dogs and situations outside of the tri-state area. Our mission is fueled by love, compassion, and hope.
