Small Miracles Cat and Dog Rescue

A private, nonprofit, no-kill cat and dog rescue in Ellicott City, Maryland

Small Miracles Cat & Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) animal welfare nonprofit focused on finding adoptive homes for stray, surrendered, abandoned and/or homeless cats and dogs in Howard County, Maryland, and beyond. We also offer low-cost vaccines.

Small Miracles has helped find adoptive homes for more than 5,200 cats and kittens since 2006 and more than 200 dogs and pups since late 2011. We have a robust network of volunteers and foster homes who provide needy animals with shelter, socialization, training and necessary veterinary care in preparation for adoption.

Adoption Application

Thank you to everyone who donated on Giving Tuesday! This morning our world is a brighter place and thanks to you all we can help even more setters in need!

11/29/2021

We have a generous offer of matching funds for the first $12,000 received, so please help us unlock these funds and “double” your gift!

Do you know how important your donations are to our rescue? Our only source of income is through our adoption program, donations, and fundraising.

Our rescue is operated 100% by volunteers. In 2020, our rescue expenses reached $395,582.00. Only 3% or $ 12,416.00 of our overall expenses are indirect expenses which are required to operate our rescue (insurance, licensing fees, website/IT, etc.).

The remaining 97% of expense or $383,166.00 are expenses that directly benefit our rescue setters with the largest expense portion being medical care.

In 2020, our adoption program revenue covered only 23% or $89,830.00 of our rescue expenses. The remaining 77% or $352,266.00 was funded through donations. Without your generous support, we would not be able to help the many setters in need.

Over the past few years, the cost of medical care has continued to increase, making your giving even more critical.
