Welcome to The Humane Society of Harford County, Inc. Thank you for choosing to adopt an animal. The Humane Society of Harford County is a small group of dedicated people, some paid staff and many volunteers working very hard to find homes just like yours for almost 5000 homeless pets each year. We rely on the generosity, the care, and the compassion of our community to aide in this life saving work. By choosing to adopt a pet you have already joined the ranks of those saving lives and for that we thank you. We hope that your life with your new pet will be as happy and fulfilling as you do. Because adopting a pet is a life-long commitment and not one to be entered into lightly, we ask that read the below adoption process carefully and help us to help you find your new family member. We must ask that you: Are at least 18 years of age Possess a valid Driver's License or State Identification ID Either own your own home or, if you rent, can provide a copy of your lease stating you can have pets Have two (2) working telephone numbers Have all members of the family or residents of the home present to meet the potential pet. Be prepared to bring any resident dogs in to introduce to all potential adopted dogs prior to adoption. Your satisfaction is very important to us. We will make every possible effort to make the adoption process as simple as possible, while still ensuring that animals are placed responsibly. We ask that you read carefully and understand the following: Pets are adopted "as is" - We do NOT make any guarantees as to the health, age, and/or temperament of any pet we adopt out.
