The Face of Rescue
Val Lynch is the Executive Director of the Senior Dog Sanctuary of Maryland (SDS), a 501(c)3 non-profit located in Severn. The mission of SDS is “to provide a safe haven for senior dogs who are unable to be cared for, who are abandoned or abused, or face euthanasia.”
A retired Air Force Colonel and a Certified Financial Planner by profession, Val advanced his life-long avocation for animal advocacy when, with the help of many rescue colleagues in the area, his family established the Sanctuary in 2016. SDS rescue senior dogs are cared for by a devoted staff and a cadre of passionate volunteers that have rehabilitated and rehomed hundreds of senior pups. Staff, volunteers, supporters, adopters and fosters constitute the ever-growing SDS Rescue Family.
Val is a staunch animal advocate. He participates in a nationwide network of shelters and rescues. He is also very active in promoting humane treatment of companion animals and admits that Rescue is his favorite breed.
