Gideon, a restaurateur who with her husband runs Dutch's Daughter in Frederick and Dutch's at Silver Tree at Deep Creek Lake in Oakland, founded Uniting to Save Animals, or U2SA, in October. The organization's mission is to help low-income residents cover the cost of spaying or neutering pets to cut down on unwanted animals, as well as to promote adoption from local shelters and rescue organizations.
