Military Matches – Honoring Those Who Served

The Humane Society of Carroll County is proud to participate in Maryland’s Pets for Vets Act, which waives adoption fees for veterans adopting from municipal shelters like ours.
HSCC Pets for Vets

It is our honor to support you, just as you have supported us.

This program is a small way of saying thank you to the brave men and women who have served our country. By helping veterans welcome a devoted companion into their homes, we hope to provide the unconditional love, comfort, and connection that only a pet can offer. If you are a veteran, please let our team know during the adoption process — your adoption fee will be waived with proof of service.

Are Adoptable Dogs Service Dogs?

While many of our dogs are loving, smart, and well-behaved, unless a dog comes to us already trained as a service dog, dogs adopted from HSCC are not trained service animals. Each dog has the potential to become a wonderful companion, and after adoption, you are welcome to explore professional service dog training programs if you wish to pursue that path. Our goal is to match every dog with the right home where they can thrive and bring joy to their family.
