About Bowie
Bowie, the city, was originally called Huntington City. In 1880, the Maryland legislature changed the name to Bowie in honor of Oden Bowie who was the president of the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad.

WHAT WE DO

We interact and work with the City of Bowie Animal Control, Prince George's Animal Management, veterinarians and animal hospitals, animal adoption and shelter centers, and local residents for animal wellness, protection, rescue, and adoption. We are staffed by caring community volunteers. We trap, transport, educate, present, advise, screen, investigate, report, protect, adopt, represent, advocate, rescue  and much more.


WHY JOIN US

  • The cost to taxpayers is staggering.  By helping us, the taxpayer burden is reduced.
  • Education on community animals is virtually non-existent. Our education and outreach programs impact many lives - both animal and human.
  • Seniors, families with reduced and little income, neighbors and friends, are surprisingly not aware of  help close-by or feel shame in asking.  Our assistance is deeply passionate and far reaching.

DONATE TO OUR ANIMAL RESCUE
PLEASE!!!
NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL.




EVERYTHING WE DO IS FOR THE ANIMALS!

Meet One of Our Felines, Coco!


Meet Coco. Coco is the sweetest little boy.  As you can see he's very friendly and loves attention. He comes from a home that had another cat. The other cat was aggressive very aggressive I mean really aggressive toward this baby.  So much so that it caused little sweet Cocoa to have physical issues. Animal medical center of Watkins Park and Dr Sue Maturo took Coco in, took care of his medical issues and brought him back to a very very healthy state.  If you are interested in kitty cat sweethearts, either fostering or for a possible adoption, please contact me to let you meet our various felines. 
Thank you so much for your consideration. Anybody who adopts is going to be so happy and will have a life full of happiness and a great companion. We have several waiting adoption.

    Community Cats

         Community cats are free-roaming cats seen in communities nationwide. These cats are stray, lost or abandoned. Some may be friendly, though many are unsocialized, feral and cannot be adopted.
         The City of Bowie adopted Resolution R-70-14 on November 17th, 2014 endorsing TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) as the best non-lethal program for resolving community cat issues. The City supports the efforts of local participants performing TNR toward reducing the community cat population.
