Who We Are

Over 53 years ago, The Humane Society of Harford County, Inc. began from the compassion of one individual. Mrs. Edward Voss found a need to house pets that had once been owned. These pets were left to wander when their families could no longer afford them, or moved or were transferred out of the area during World War II. She temporarily housed the animals at an abandoned farm. The following year, in 1948, the shelter found a home at its current location on Connolly Road. More.
