WHO WE ARE

Howard County Animal Control and Adoption Center is the county's Animal Shelter and is a division of the Howard County Police Department. We are a government agency dedicated to enforcing animal control laws, promoting the humane treatment of animals, providing adoption services, discounted spay/neuter services, and educating the public on animal issues. We handle between four and five thousand animals a year. All dogs, cats and rabbits adopted from Howard County Animal Control & Adoption Center are spayed and neutered before adoption and receive all age related vaccines.

*************************************************************************
Rabies Clinic the third Thursday of the month from 12:00 p.m.-1:30 p.m. $5.00 check or cash. Cats must be in carriers and dogs on leashes. If this is not your animal's first rabies vaccination, you are advised to bring a previous vaccination certificate in order to receive a three year vaccination. Otherwise, it will be good for a year. Please call 410-313-2780 for more information and to confirm that the clinic will be open.

OUR FEATURED PETS...

Meet Cat #12730--Lakita is a young adult, female, kitty who is sweet and cute. She has brown tabby markings with bright orange highlights. Lakita can be bashful at first when you approach her. She wants to come up to you, but she always wants you to talk to her first. Lakita is friendly and very loving. She enjoys being pet and rubbed all over. She purrs and closes her eyes when you pet her. She especially likes chin scratches. Lakita is a very gentle and tolerant cat. She would enjoy a loving, quiet home.


Here is another one of our favorites -Dog 12900-Chanelle
Chanelle is being a lovely girl during her stay with us. She has learned in just a few short weeks to sit, easy, off and down. When she gets her silly puppy wiggles and she is excited to see you, she will settle right down when you tell her to calm and be easy. This is a smart girl. She really pays attention to people and wants to see us be happy. She is happy to hear “Good Girl!” and knows she has done what we want. If you are looking for a loyal companion, Chanelle might just be your gal. She is a great, medium sized dog and is going to make a wonderful new addition to someone’s home. Could it be you? Be sure to visit Chanelle if you stop by the shelter. She is a great pup.
