The Humane Society of Harford County Animal Shelter kills most of the 4500 or more animals they take in each year (about 56% or more using their 2011 newsletter data).   The HSHC claims they are a successful business or nonprofit but maintain about a 56% kill rate. We want them to stop killing healthy, treatable and adoptable animals and implement a No Kill shelter with modern, cost effective strategies.

   With plans to spend 3.2 million taxpayer dollars for construction of a new shelter, it is time for a bigger, more efficient animal shelter to serve our community.  Also this petition demands transparency in the shelter’s operations, revamping the programs and program utilization, reconfiguration of the executive board and improvement of customer service and treatment of animals, volunteers and fosters.
