THANK YOU for your interest in adopting from the Caroline County Humane Society. In order to clarify our process, please read carefully the following:

Please be sure to fill out the application completely. We make every effort to have the applications completed within a 48-hour period; however, incomplete applications may result in a delay in this process.

Caroline County Humane Society reserves the right to perform inquiries into the following items, which may affect the outcome of your application: criminal background, veterinary history, property assessment and animal control files.

The staff and volunteers of the Caroline County Humane Society make every effort to place our animals in the home best suited for the needs of the pet and of the new family. If there is a specific animal of interest, and it is still available at the time of application approval, you would then be eligible to adopt that animal.

Approved applications are kept on file for 6 months. We recommend you frequently stop in, check by phone, or visit our website carolinehumane.org to see what animals are in our adoption program.

"I have read the above statements and understand there are no guarantees for adoption of any animal. I acknowledge all information on this application is true and correct. I give the employees of Caroline County Humane Society permission to verify all information, and understand that any misrepresentations or omissions of fact may result in the cancellation of my application.  I certify that I am over 21 years old."
