A crucial member of the Baltimore community for nearly one hundred years, the Baltimore Humane Society facilitates an independent, non-profit animal shelter offering services for all stages of pet ownership.
The organization works diligently to help homeless animals find necessary medical treatment, behavioral training, and, ultimately, a loving forever home. Adoption fees are halved for senior animals and modified or waived for senior citizens, first responders, and military personnel.
Our clinic offers free and low-cost spay/neuter, vaccination, and wellness services to the public. The memorial park offers end-of-life options for beloved pets as well as bereavement support and grief counseling. For more information on adoption, programs and services, visit

The Baltimore Humane Society also works with volunteers who help out in the various shelter departments. We always welcome new volunteers as well! Volunteers can assist in spay/neuter/wellness, animal care, events, fostering, data entry, and many more opportunities.
Occupying close to 400 acres of land, the Baltimore Humane Society is nestled within a wildlife refuge. This vast sanctuary not only serves the society’s operations but also functions as a haven for local wildlife.

Testimonials
“I have volunteered at BHS for over a year. It is such an amazing organization! They are always mindful of what is the best for the animals! I walk dogs and there is incredible support from the trainers and other volunteers. From dog play groups to runs that are separate from the kennels, people are always working to try and make the dogs stay as stress-free as possible. They also work hard with potential adopters to make the best match possible. Providing support even after a dog is adopted. Can’t recommend them enough!” – rmjyflynn (Source:GreatNonProfits.org)
“The Baltimore Humane Society was absolutely amazing in helping me rescue my sweet boy Dex. Their facility is beautiful and well-kept, the staff is super helpful and they give you access to a professional trainer. They went above and beyond to make the adoption process go as smoothly as possible. I would recommend them to anyone looking to adopt.”-Kurt213 (Source: GreatNonProfits.org)
