Services

The Humane Society of Carroll County is happy to offer low-cost spay/neuter surgeries at our in-house surgical suite (2517 Littlestown Pike Westminster, MD 21158). Click here for more information and to book your appointment.

A microchip will help increase the chances of finding a lost pet. A needle is used to place a tiny chip under the animal’s skin and it can be scanned by a vet or humane society should the animal be found. The owner can then be contacted to retrieve his or her pet. The Humane Society of Carroll County offers microchipping services for $20 during normal business hours. We also have free microchip clinics several times a month. Find our next clinic and book your appointment here. 

Deciding to put a pet to sleep because of illness, injury or age can be emotionally stressful. The Humane Society of Carroll County offers low-cost humane euthanasia and cremation services to help pet owners through a difficult time.

Contact the Humane Society for more information and to schedule a same-day appointment.

*Please note that during euthanasia appointments offered at the Humane Society, owners cannot be in the room with their pet.*

Thinking About Surrendering Your Pet? 🐶🐱

We understand that sometimes life brings challenges that make it difficult to keep your

pet. If you’re experiencing temporary financial hardship, we encourage you to reach

out—our Pet Pantry offers free dog and cat food to help families care for their pets

through tough times.

If you’re relocating or facing a more permanent situation, please consider posting on

our Facebook rehoming page: Carroll County MD Pet Adoptions to help find your

pet a new home.

If rehoming isn’t successful, you can contact us to schedule a surrender appointment.
We only accept animals from Carroll County residents.

Please know—there is no penalty for surrendering your pet. We simply ask that you

be honest about your pet’s behavior, needs, and challenges so we can make the

best possible match for their new home.

At the time of surrender, please bring:
✔️ Any veterinary records
✔️ Information about your pet’s routine, likes/dislikes, medical needs, and personality

This helps us better understand and care for your pet as they transition to a new chapter.
