About MAPR

Mid-Atlantic Poodle Rescue (MAPR) is a network of people from Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia dedicated to finding loving permanent homes for abandoned, unwanted or surrendered Poodles of all varieties as well as Poodle mixed breed dogs.

We are an independent Rescue organization associated with Poodle Club of America Rescue Foundation Inc. We were granted 501 (c)3 not-for-profit status by the IRS in 2011.

MAPR does not have a facility. Dogs surrendered by owners or pulled from shelters are placed in foster homes or other protected placements and cared for by our volunteer members until they can be adopted.

MAPR is based in Baltimore MD.

The Adoption Process

The adoption process begins with a completed application. The application is reviewed and references are checked. Please inform your veterinarian that you are applying to Rescue and that you give staff permission for them to speak with us. The next step is a meet and greet. All household members, including any dogs in the house must attend a meet and greet. Obviously, certain situations may require adjustment to this rule. Meet and greets often turn into same day adoptions.
