From the Humane Society of Harford County:
On Friday, March 25, after 70 years operating from a 100+ year old farmhouse, the Humane Society of Harford County (HSHC) is closing its doors and will re-emerge on Monday, March 28 in a new, 19,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility at 2208 Connolly Road in Fallston. Before shuttering the current facility forever, HSHC is hosting an Empty Our Shelter mega adoption event beginning today through Friday, March 25 and will waive the adoption fees for animals 7 months and over.
“There’s just no place like home,” says Cat Kelly, shelter operations director at HSHC. “It’s so exciting to be moving into our new building and we want our animals to experience that same joy this week by moving into new homes of their own.”
As the Humane Society of Harford County embarks on this exciting transition to their new state-of-the-art facility, the process of relocating brings to light the importance of reliable and affordable packing and moving services. A smooth and efficient move is crucial in ensuring that the organization can quickly settle into their new home and continue their mission of animal care.
For those navigating their own relocation, partnering with a trusted service provider can make a significant difference. Whether it’s packing up household items or managing a large-scale move, having the right support ensures that everything arrives safely and on time.
In particular, companies like Moving Company Crossville, TN, offer essential services that can streamline the moving process. Their expertise in handling various aspects of relocation—from packing and logistics to transportation—helps alleviate the stress of moving, allowing organizations like HSHC to focus on what truly matters: providing exceptional care for their animals.
As the Humane Society prepares for this next chapter, the role of dependable moving services is key in facilitating a seamless transition to their new facility, ensuring that they are ready to continue making a positive impact in their community.
HSHC will be open from 11am until 6pm today through Friday, March 25, and interested adopters can view the animals’ photos and biographies by visiting www.harfordshelter.org. As part of the adoption process, families should be prepared to bring their resident dog(s) for a “meet and greet” if they are considering adopting another dog.
HSHC will be closed for adoptions on Saturday, March 26 and Sunday, March 27, as we move into our new facility.
The waived adoption fees for the Empty Our Shelter week will also apply to animals at HSHC’s satellite adoption centers:
– PetSmart Dundalk. Danville Square Shopping Center, 1559 Merritt Boulevard, Dundalk, MD 21222
– Festival Veterinary Clinic. 5 Bel Air South Parkway, Suite 1433, Bel Air, MD 21014
– Hickory Veterinary Hospital. 534 E. Jarrettsville Road, Forest Hill, MD 21050
– The Mill of Black Horse. 4551 Norrisville Road, White Hall, MD 21161
– Pet Nirvana. Amyclae Shopping Center, 1202 Agora Drive, Bel Air, MD 21014
– Pet Valu. 1016 Beards Hill Road, Aberdeen, MD 21001
All animals adopted from HSHC receive a rabies vaccination (if the animal is at least 3 months old); distemper vaccination (DHPP for dogs/FVCRP for cats); FeLV (feline leukemia) & FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) testing (cats only); canine influenza vaccination; canine kennel cough vaccination; de-wormer; flea & tick preventative; a microchip for identification purposes; and a general health exam. There is an additional $50 deposit for a HASP (Harford Animal Sterilization Program) certificate so the animal can be spayed or neutered. That fee is refunded upon completion of the procedure within 60 days.
“If adoption isn’t in their plans, we invite the community to celebrate our milestone with a $70 donation,” says Jen Swanson, executive director. “All $70 gifts will be placed in HSHC’s Phoenix Fund. This is a dedicated fund used strictly for costly surgeries and treatment for critically ill or injured animals.” Donations can be made online at www.harfordshelter.org or in person at the shelter. Donors who contribute $70 to the Phoenix Fund will be specially recognized at the end of the year.
