Do you like wine? Are you an animal lover? If so, this event is for you. This is the second annual Mutts 4 Merlot event. This event will be held at Fridays Creek Winery in Owings, MD. All proceeds will benefit the Humane Society of Calvert County. More information to be posted soon.

Do you own and love Pit Bulls? Do you often wonder how and why they could have gotten such a bad rap? Are you able to help us spread the good word and educate the community about thier loving temperment and loyalty? If so, please join us as we support Second Hope Rescue in sponsoring a Pit Bull Fall Frolic for the Family and Pit Bull Awareness Day. There will be demonstrations in agility, SAR, Bomb Detection and all demonstrations will be performed by Pit Bulls. More and more law enforcement jurisdictions across the country are using this breed. Why? Because they are one of the most loyal and smartest, most trainable breeds and can contribute so much to society. More details will follow, but please hold this date. CHeck back as we will add many more events and vendors. We look forward to seeing you and all of the HSCC adopted pit bulls and their families.

The Humane Society of Calvert County is proud to announce that our new fencing has been installed! This fencing will provide a much safer environment for the animals in our care and not to mention our staff and volunteers. It has been a LONG time coming, and we are very excited that it is finally complete! This was a very large expense for the Humane Society, but it was one that became a priority very quickly as you can tell by one of the photos on the attached form. Because of this, we are launching a mass fundraiser in order to raise $30,000 to cover the cost of the kennel fencing. I have no doubt that we can accomplish this with our strong volunteer base and support system in the community. I have attached the 'Sponsor-a-Kennel' flyer/form for you to view. Please consider making a monetary donation of any amount if you are not able to sponsor-a-kennel. Every penny counts! Thank you for your continuous support, because of people like you we are still able to continue to operate! Please do not hesitate to visit our shelter to see for yourself the difference the new fencing has made to our shelter. HSCC is proud to be a 'No-Kill' animal shelter, and rescues nearly 300 dogs and 150 cats a year! Thank you!
