Lifesaving Starts with You!
You can make a difference by providing a loving home to one of these animals. The adoption process is easy! Our team can help you find a good match and provide resources to help ensure a successful placement. The adoption process starts with a visit to our facility where you can spend time with the animals and talk to our adoption team to find out which animals might best suit your family. All adoptions require a history check and adopters must agree to standard adoption requirements. If you have another dog in the home please plan to bring them for a meet and greet before you complete the adoption. Property ownership or proof of permission to adopt by your landlord is required. You must be 21 years of age or older to adopt.
To help keep animals out of the shelter, Humane Society of Carroll County administers a Facebook page to encourage members of the public to list their pets that they are seeking to rehome. Visit the group on Facebook at Carroll County MD Pet Adoptions!
