Our Mission

At the Humane Society of Calvert County, our mission is to provide compassionate care, shelter, and advocacy for homeless and at-risk animals while striving to find them loving, permanent homes. We are dedicated to educating our community on responsible pet ownership, promoting spay/neuter programs, and fostering a culture of kindness and respect for all animals.  Through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption, we work tirelessly to create a brighter future for the animals in our care.  Together, with our volunteers, adopters, sponsors and supporters, we are making a difference-one paw at a time.
