but rather living organisms, subjects of a life, who are worthy of our compassion, respect, friendship, and support.

Animal Rescue & Outreach Organization is a community where every animal is valued, cared for, and given the opportunity for a healthy and loving life.

Make a difference!  The animals in the shelter are there through no fault of their own.  Bring your skills and passion to AROO as we assist the Shelter in that quest.

Your donation helps us provide essential resources to the animals in the St. Mary's County Maryland Animal Shelter. .
