Humane Society of Kent County Maryland Inc.

We are an open-admission animal shelter, and welcome every animal in need that we can legally accept.As an open-admission shelter, we take in many animals who may not be immediate candidates for adoption. Whenever possible, our foster parents work with these animals to rehabilitate them and qualify them for adoption to good homes.There is no set limit to the length of time an animal can remain in our adoption program. As long as we have space, and the pet appears to be able to maintain good physical and emotional health in our kennel environment (or foster home), the pet will remain in our program.Every animal, however long it remains in our adoption program, is guaranteed a clean, safe, comfortable space, nutritious food and fresh water, medical supervision and, when needed, care and supplies, as well as interaction with volunteers who groom, exercise, and socialize with them.We do our best to move young puppies and kittens and other special-needs animals into foster care, where they remain until they are ready for adoption. We also work with breed-specific groups to find homes for some animals, in order to maintain space within our own shelter. We do everything in our power to avoid the euthanasia of healthy animals, or of animals who can be rehabilitated or go to homes that will provide care for a lifetime. We are able to find new homes for the great majority of our pets and appreciate your continued support as we push towards a low-kill community. To reach this goal, we are working to create not a no-kill shelter, but a low-kill community where all adoptable animals are able to find forever loving homes. These are the steps we are taking to achieve that effect:Maintain a widespread effort to promote spaying and neutering of all companion animalsContinually increase the number of shelter animals that are adopted to new homes through our programs.Encourage responsible pet ownership through public-awareness campaigns, humane education programs, and efforts to legally eliminate puppy mills and backyard breedersSupporting pet owners through training classes, counseling, and referrals to outside information sourcesThe Humane Society of Kent County Maryland, Inc is a private, charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are not affiliated with any other animal-welfare organization, locally or nationally. We rely entirely on the income from our community and on donations from the public in order to keep our doors open.We invite you to become more involved by becoming a volunteer or a foster parent. See our Programs link for information on how to do this.

Meet Saila

Meet Saila – a 2-year-old probably-sorta-kinda Labrador Retriever mix with the soul of a stage-five clinger and the tongue of a champion drool distributor. If you’ve ever wished your shadow was a little warmer, fuzzier, and wetter… Saila’s your girl.This sweetheart is what we lovingly call a VELCRO dog. She doesn’t just want to be near you — she wants to merge with you. If she could, she’d unzip your hoodie and crawl right in. Alone time? She’s never heard of it. Personal space? She ate it.Now, about that “Labrador” part, listen, we’re not entirely sure what Saila is mixed with. Could be a Great Pyrenees. Could be a Golden Retriever. Could be a Beagle. Honestly, she may not even be a Lab. She’s just a mystery mutt with a heart of gold, a lot of floof, and a soul built for snuggling.She came to us after being heartbreakingly dumped on the streets when her family moved back to Cuba. Understandably, that left some emotional baggage behind, mainly in the form of constant cuddling, intense eye contact, and needing to know where you are at all times. Forever.Saila also comes with a… moisture feature. Due to an old tracheal injury that healed a bit wonky, she’s not great at holding in her slobber. Is it her fault she leaves a little trail of love wherever she goes? Absolutely not. She simply prefers to share her joy—one damp kiss and chin-drip at a time. You’ll never need lotion again. Just a towel. Or twelve.Her old injury won’t slow her down much more than that, she just needs to be walked on a harness and loved by someone who enjoys being slightly damp, deeply adored, and never alone in the bathroom again.But don’t worry—Saila is more than just cling and drool. She loves food (seriously, it’s a love language), and while she isn’t going to win any speed-walking competitions, she walks very nicely on leash at her own laid-back pace. Slow and steady wins the snack.Come meet Saila. Bring snacks. And a mop. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: acskc.org/adoption/adoption-applicationOnce your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet!
