Reeds Rescue is a non-profit volunteer dog rescue organization serving Baltimore County and surrounding areas. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs of senior age or deemed to be terminally ill from area shelters, dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of decompensating in the shelter environment. Reeds Rescue will provide nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. Reeds Rescue, the board, and the volunteers will strive to work with area shelters, the community, and other rescues to develop a network of supporters to create a better world for the elderly and terminal pets in need.
Mission and Vision
The purpose of Reeds Rescue is to provide safe and attentive homes for terminally ill and elderly dogs that would otherwise be placed in an animal shelter. We will provide the attention and compassion that is necessary for dogs to thrive for their remaining years through volunteers, fosters and adoptions to loving families. Operating as a nonprofit, our main objective is to provide all necessary care for dogs in need to the best of our ability with the volunteer and financial resources raised through various fundraising opportunities. We will also engage in community outreach to advertise ourselves for those looking to adopt a pet and educate the public on caring for special needs pets.

"Being part of Reed’s Rescue for the past 20 months has been amazing! The rescue is 100% volunteer and to witness what we can do with passion, dedication, and big hearts is life changing. We work with senior and fospice dogs. I’ve seen how saving a senior life has not only impacted the pup yet saved a human…from loneliness, heartbreak, or even making the existing household a little more loving. Senior dogs definitely do not get enough attention and are easily the first ones to go, especially with the rise of surrendered dogs, it’s extra hard to see a dog who has been with a family it’s entire life to be left on the steps of a shelter. Scared. Confused. Forgotten. But Reed’s Rescue doesn’t forget. We work tirelessly to spring these seniors, no matter their condition or the medical cost, and work to find them a forever match. It’s a beautiful reminder that no matter how poorly the pup was cared for, or forgotten in the middle of the night, that it still has so much love to give. We want to be able to allow the senior pups to love until the end."

"Reeds Rescue takes in some of the very hard dogs to adopt out. They take in seniors, many with health issues, and some have behavioral needs also. Once in their care they make sure the dog gets everything it needs and the medical help needed to give that dog the best quality of life. They are foster based and participate in countless events to have their dogs seen to have the best chance at finding their perfect home. RR is a blessing to the seniors.🐶🏡😘"

"Reed’s Rescue has helped so many senior dogs many of whom I had the pleasure of fostering. Reeds takes care of blind, disabled dogs and puts their needs first. Reeds takes care of all expenses for the pup including end of life care and even if it’s a hospice case including vet visits, grooming and medication. They have many events for adoptable pups and this provides a new life or at least happy golden years for abused and abandoned souls."

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development.
David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners.
Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature.
David is based in Salem, MA.
