Talbot Humane Information

Talbot Humane has been helping animals in Talbot County, Maryland, since 1932. For over 80 years the goals of our open admission shelter have been: To rescue animals from neglect; To place companion animals into loving homes; To reunite lost pets with their owners; and To reduce pet overpopulation through aggressive spay and neuter and educational programs. Talbot Humane’s compassionate staff and dedicated volunteers are making a difference every day by fulfilling the needs of our community. Our adoption program is highly successful, placing animals not only in new loving homes but by working with other organizations. Whether we are receiving animals from other humane organizations in need of help or a 501.c.3 rescue group is accepting one of our special need residents into their care, we continue toward our mission of placing every treatable, adoptable pet coming through our doors into a forever home. We continue to provide low cost spay/neuter services to county residents. Our Pet Pantry provides more than 3 tons of pet food annually to residents in need. Our educational programs ranging from Pre-K to adult, offer information and lessons on everything from humane care to kindness to animals. Our volunteers can be found at community events every week sharing the good news about our work at Talbot Humane and showing our animals for adoption. Talbot Humane is contracted to provide Animal Control services to Talbot County MD 40 hours per week. As a nonprofit, 501 (c)(3) organization, we rely heavily on the support of our supporters, local businesses and friends so that we may continue fulfilling our mission to the animals of our community.
