Please be sure to fill out the adoption request form completely. We make every effort to have the applications completed within a 48-hour period; however, incomplete applications may result in a delay in this process.

The staff and volunteers of the Caroline County Humane Society make every effort to place our animals in the home best suited for the needs of the pet and of the new family. If there is a specific animal of interest, and it is still available at the time of request form approval, you would then be eligible to adopt that animal.

Approved adoption request forms are kept on file for 6 months. We recommend you frequently stop in, check by phone, or visit our website
carolinehumane.org to see what animals are in our adoption program.

Is Fostering Right For You?

Being a Foster Parent to a rescue is an amazing opportunity for not only the animal who is on his or her way to their FurEver Home, it is a great way for you to help them begin to feel like everything is going to be ok. We are always looking for Foster Families to bridge the divide between being in an uncertain situation, and one that is secure. If you're not ready to fully commit to adoption, or your have room for one more, why not consider becoming a CCHS Foster?
