Yeah I recommend starting at the MD/PA line and heading north basically like you said penn mar. Your dog should be fine but that's extra food and water.... What do you use for water purification. the road crossings are no big deal yeah but bring a small leash for that part. There is shuttle services around not sure how to look them up maybe google. go to REI theres one in Timonium pick up the guide it will show you shelters water sources and maps.... I don't know you but plan on 4 to 5 the first night and then 15 after that..... the A.T has its key parts that I love but I am always surprised on how much I enjoy just the in between sections your picking a nice area lots of rocks but less crowded and more rural than MD..... Enjoy
