In 1978 The Humane Society of Charles County was created with the mission to rescue cats and dogs that had been hit by cars in the county. There were 25 members and a $100 budget. Over time we gradually grew our operation to accommodate more animals and include additional services. We are an open intake shelter that can accommodate 23 dogs, approximately 60 cats/kittens and a accept a variety of small animals. We offer animal adoptions 6 days a week and partner with local rescue groups for placement as well. We have a Public Spay/Neuter Clinic that offers low cost services to the local community and surrounding areas. We also have a variety of grants to offer free spay/neuter services as well. We have a very robust TNR program that has successfully TNR’d 2000 community cats since 2016. Our other services include a Foster Program for Kittens as well as fosters for animals with medical or socialzation issues. Our Humane and Environmental Education Programs teach more than 14.000 school children and community members across the county about pet safety, responsible pet ownership, kindness and empathy through the love of animals.

Every yearwe participate in Clear the Shelters and adopt approximately 60 animals, waiving their adoption fees. However, the financial burden on the rest of our services it creates is a strain on the shelter since we are funded primarily through donations and grants. We are asking for support for this years campaign so we can adopt more animals to our community members and be able to continue to care for the animals who will follow quickly take their place.
