Celebrate the "Dog Days of Summer" with a Doggy Day Out! We have spots available in July and August!

Doggy Day Out volunteers take an adoptable dog from our kennels for 4-24 hours and take them on an adventure anywhere within 1 hour of the HSCC shelter. Not only does it do our dogs good to get out of the shelter setting, we get valuable information about their temperaments and preferences and spread the word about adoption to the wider community!

*NEW!* We now have Doggy Day Out t-shirts! Check out our Friday DDO family sporting them in this photo.

Interested? Fill out our form and choose one of our available days. We will confirm with you the week before the scheduled date! https://hscarroll.org/ddo/

Calling all Carroll County businesses/organizations! Do you want to support the Humane Society for free? We are looking for venues that are willing to EITHER
(1) Be listed as “dog-friendly” in our Doggy Day Out Manual, so people who take dogs out for a day know where they can take them for fun and enrichment and to hopefully be seen by a future adopter.
(2) Accept Adoptable Animals posters (8.5×11) on their bulletin boards to help spread the word about the amazing pets looking for their furever homes!

Participation is free and we will give you a shoutout on our social media for being a supporter!

Interested? Fill out this form: https://hscarroll.org/community/

DOG OF THE WEEK - Meet Athena, a lovely girl who has never met a stranger!

Athena came to HSCC on 5/16 as an owner surrender, meaning she has now been here for over a month. Why? We have no idea! Athena loves to meet new people, and she never stops wagging and smiling when she's out and about. Her absolute FAVORITE game is tug o'war, and she has boundless energy to run and play! She'd love to have a family that can spoil her with plenty of her favorite toys and playtime. She loves going for walks, too, and has been doing great working on her leash skills! She's not all energy, though - she loves a good nap after playing, and would love to curl up by your side!

Athena is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and currently weighs 63 pounds.

If you are interested in meeting Athena, please visit the shelter during our open hours; Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 10a-12p & 2p-4p, Thurs 10a-12p & 2p-5:30p, and Saturday 9a-1p. Complete an adoption application online to be pre-approved for adoption. If you have another dog in the home, plan to bring them for a meet with Athena!

DOG OF THE WEEK - Meet Blaze, a senior with a heart of gold!

You would never guess that Blaze is 7 years old! This pup is always smiling and has such a playful spirit. Whether its chasing after his favorite toy (a tennis ball) or rolling over for belly rubs, Blaze knows how to make himself the center of attention. In many ways, Blaze is still just a big puppy, but with the wisdom of a senior - in other words, he's perfect! All he needs is a family to notice him and give him a chance to prove it!

Blaze currently weighs 61 pounds. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and started on heartworm preventatives.

If you are interested in meeting Blaze, please visit the shelter during our open hours; Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 10a-12p & 2p-4p, Thurs 10a-12p & 2p-5:30p, and Saturday 9a-1p. Complete an adoption application online to be pre-approved for adoption. If you do not own your home, bring consent from the property owner to have a dog on the property. If you have another dog in the home, plan to bring them for a meet with Blaze before you complete the adoption.

Reminder---the 4th of July is a few weeks away.

Now is the time to get your pet ready for the fireworks.

1) Microchip your pet--we are offering free microchip clinics for cats and dogs each Friday this month (https://hscarroll.org/microchip-registration/)

2) Contact your veterinarian for medications to help with anxiety.

3) Do not leave your dogs unattended in your back yard during fireworks. Leash walking is strongly recommended.

Please see the flyer for more helpful ideas.
