General
Art of Recycle– A wonderfully fantastic Non Profit Artist Thrift Store located in Ephrata, PA who’s mission is to inspire more art and assist artists in developing skills for art creation by using the resources around them. (I highly recommend stopping in if you are the least bit of an artist/crafter and are in the Lancaster or Harrisburg area).
Eagle Eye Care– The only place our photographer, Bryan, trusts to keep my eye sight at it’s best!
The Wine Bin– One of the region’s premier wine (and more) retailers, they host a Yappy Hour on First and Third Fridays from April through October in their parking lot at the top end of Main Street in Old Town Ellicott City, MD.
Breeders/Handlers
Owenspride Mastiffs– Frankie’s Breeder, very smart talented and absolutely stunning mastiffs for confirmation, rally/obedience and just being good foot/bed warmers 🙂
Gatehouse Mastiffs– Carrie is one of the best handlers of Mastiffs (and almost all other breeds) on the East Coast if not the country. Her accomplishments include many specialty Best of Breed, Best of Opposite Sex, Best of Winners, Winners Dog and Winners Bitch awards, along with numberous group placings.
Van D Mastiffs– Levi’s Breeder, very sweet tempered obedient Mastiffs.
Bonnair’s Staffords and French Bulldogs- Always one of our favorite places to visit, the owner of our late Frenchie’s (Raven) late sister (Mora) and some of our most energetically loveable Staffys.
Breed Rescues and Animal Control
Howard County Animal Control– Our friends at HCAC are always there to help out Howard County pets and owners.
Mastiffs to Mutts– Assisting dogs large and small find great homes and their foster homes treat all the dogs amazingly. A great team to work with.
Animal Advocates of Howard County– Animal Advocates of Howard County is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preventing the suffering of animals in our area. They help so many rescues, and are a great place to donate to if you are looking to help a lot of rescues at once.
Mid-Atlantic English Springer Spaniel Rescue (MAESSR)- A great group of volunteers with a love for these energetic personality filled dogs.
