Oliver has big Orange Cat Energy. He's a character and your perfect cat if you love to laugh. His favorite thing to do is sit in the cat room sink. He's affectionate (with he wants to be), energetic (when he's up to hijinks), and playful. Come to the shelter and meet this 7 year old charmer. He accepts walk in visits as long as you let him in the sink!

Oh, oh, you think you're special
Oh, oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you're a rocket scientist
That don't impress me much
So you got the brain but have you got the treats?

Trixie is a feisty guinea pig that isn't impressed by much! Your big house and fancy car? That's great, but what about the romaine budget? We're talking a lotta lettuce here! Trixie hasn't been able to make many friends with this type of attitude. Can you impress her?

Mighty Oak from little acorns grow! 7.5 year old Oak is the strong constant of the community cat room. He's the Marky Mark and the others are just the funky bunch. He will greet everyone, coming down from his high perch or out of whatever hidey-hole he may be in before any of the others. You can feel his wisdom and presence. He's got the good vibrations. C'mon, c'mon. Take Oak home for only $19.99!

Bouncin' in the club where the heat is on
All night, on the beach till the break of dawn
I'm goin to Miami
"Welcome to Miami"

Nuney is trying to find someone to whisk her away on a beach vacay. This pretty little blue eyed girl is sure to get some attention on the shores. She's 11 months old and only about 40 lbs so she's a big cuddler in a petit body. So far she's been great with other dogs and everyone she meets. With Nuney, everyday like a mardi gras, everybody party all day-no work, all play, okay?

What's the best reason to get a dog and why is it so that you can sing weird songs you made up for them?

06/22/2024

Ren and Stimpy went home today! Ren was not thrilled about the crate but we know they'll be loving their new farm.

Volunteers Jenny and Stuart took Dandelion for a fun field trip last night, visiting the food trucks at Fallston Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Co. She was sweet as can be, sniffing all the sniffs, loving on everyone who greeted her, and gladly accepting dog treats from all the food trucks! She loved meeting all the kids and wanted to play. She ended the evening with a happy heart and cheeseburger. 🤍
If you missed out, meet Dandelion at the shelter this weekend!

Did you know we have international celebrities right here in our own backyard? That's right! Their podcast is called Coffee with the Chicken Ladies and is heard around the world. If you keep chickens, it's a must-listen. Here's the story of how 2 local besties are working to foster a love of our feathered friends🐓 https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/05/15/podcast-celebrates-love-of-chickens-in-harford/.

We had the absolute best time at the Maryland Auto Show! Thanks to all who stopped by the Subaru of America, Inc. pet park to meet our adoptable pets. We found homes for 6 dogs/puppies at the show and another 3 puppies on Monday right after the show. What was your favorite part?

06/19/2024

We've got some Larger Than Life little dogs available!

*Adoptions are first come, first serve. If you're interested, please come to the shelter, but make sure they're still listed on our website before making the trip. We cannot hold them. If you have another dog and are looking to adopt today, please bring them for a meet and greet. 2 cars is best so they can ride home separately.

Happy Tail!

"We recently adopted Hazelnut (we named her Libby) and we just wanted to share some of her time at home so far!
Shes doing wonderful and trying her best to learn her manners! Shes the most cuddly 70lb lap dog you could have and has made herself right at home. It feels like she’s always been with us!
Adopting from the humane society was wonderful, accommodating and smooth for us."

Thank you! Love seeing these updates!

06/18/2024

All the...small things. Happiness puppies bring
I'll take one lick. Ride home, best trip.

Meet Opal, Cecilia, and Honey! 3 puppies awaiting their new life. Hurry! If you blink 182 times they might be gone!

Late night, come home. Work sucks, we know. She left you ti**le by the stairs, surprises let you know she cares.

06/18/2024

It's been....one week since you looked at me! Meet Tex, Thor, Tommy, and Khloe.

[Winner has picked up the feathered prizes! Thanks everyone for playing 😉🐔]
[Is the white one a rooster? Comment below! We'll randomly select a winner!]

Gwenyth Poultry and Henneth Paltrow are 2 chickens leading parallel lives. They each had a Sliding Doors moment and ended up in the shelter, but their story doesn't end here! Adopt these fine feathered ladies and see where the timeline takes you.

Meet you at the mall
There's no time to waste
I'm so glad you called!

Cinnabon is a delight! When you're in the middle of Mall Madness, you're going to need a friend with style like this classic tabby. 3 year old Cinnabon is sweet as hechts and won't mind when you douse yourself in Lovespell. She'll share some of your Sbarros and take a nap on the massage chair in Sharper Image.
Visit Cinnabon in our community room and then take her home so you can mochalatta chill after a day full of shopping at Contempo Casuals and Sam Goody!

Thor is looking to meet you! The algorithm has told us he's your highest match. Here are the stats: 3 years old, 81 lbs (a big dude!), located in Fallston, MD but willing to relocate if you're "The One." Just because he's the god of thunder doesn't mean he knows anything about Thunder Alley with Ed Asner and Andrew Keegan. Canceled 90s sitcoms aren't his jam- he's 3! Better stick to topics he loves like water and toys. He gets along with other dogs, but cats are waaaay too interesting to him. Come to the shelter for a meet and let's make this thing official!

Adoptions are only $19.99 all month!

06/17/2024

Happy Tail feathers!
Just wanted you to know- Grasshopper (now Pesto) was pretty depressed for about 3 or 4 months. I finally realized she needed a friend who was one of her own. We adopted Yoshi from a rescue in NY in late March. There bonded now and she sings like she’s in a jungle (as she should). She's on the right"

Look at this gorgeous pair!

06/16/2024

Connor and Ashleigh adopted one of our favorite cats, Mackerel! She was her usual cooperative self but staying in the box for her adoption photo, but we got a cute update!
" Mackerel is doing great and settling in very nicely. She is a great addition to our household. She is a very playful and loving cat and we can’t wait to see more of her personality."

Hanging out with Roxi, our longest term dog.

You never know what a day at the shelter might bring. Sometimes it's a silly goose caught up in someone's abandoned fishing line. Animal Control brought in this poor Canadian goose and helped our tech department carefully unravel the wire so that the goose could be safely released again. Please clean up fishing line if you see it! It can be deadly to animals who happen upon it. #hshchumane #wildlife #animalcontrol #goose

Adoptable Rabbits Pika and Mika

Pika and Mika, the dynamic duo of the rabbit world! These two adorable bunnies aren't just pets; they're two best friends!

If you're in need of a dose of sweetness and a whole lot of cuddles, look at this dynamic duo who prove that the best things really do come in pairs.

Guess who's available? These little buns are weaned from mama Regina and ready to find homes! #adoptablebunnies #babybunnies

Caught Kelly from Tech cuddling Geppetto after doing nightly meds and saying, "I can't believe nobody's taken you home yet!" Geppetto is 13 and just wants to cuddle a little and sleep. He was brought in on January 3rd from the side of the road and deserves more comfort than a busy shelter! He's perfect!

Thank you so much to Carsins Run Canine Swim Center for inviting Tater to do some swim therapy and for getting this great clip of his swim! #swimtherapy #swimmingdog #shelterdog
