Mission Statement, It is the Mission of the Humane Society of Charles County to provide shelter and care, for homeless, injured and neglected animals through adoption, fostering, community partnerships, education and affordable spay-neuter and vaccine services. Vision Statement, The Vision of the Humane Society of Charles County is to create a community where animals are cherished and no longer need us for protection and shelter. Value Statement, In upholding the Vision and Mission of the Humane Society of Charles County we will all work with these values:To always be compassionate and caringTo foster respect and understanding of all lifeTo protect, rescue, adopt and care for animalsTo create partnerships for animal welfare,To educate the community on animal welfare issues. The Humane Society of Charles County is a 501c3 nonprofit organization formed in 1978 for the purpose of providing humane care for the homeless animals in our community. We moved to our current shelter location in the early 1980’s and now operate with the clear intention to enhance respect, empathy, consideration, and tolerance for all of the animals and humans in our community. Each year, we provide compassionate shelter and care to more than 3,200 homeless animals, inspire more than 18,000 school children, nursing home residents, veterans, and community members through our humane education and pet therapy programs, provide low-to-no cost veterinary services for more than 3,000 pets in need, and save nearly 200 “bottle babies” from certain death through our kitten and puppy fostering programs. The HSCC must raise over $400,000 dollars in individual donations annually to meet the needs of the at-risk animals in our community and to provide support for the families of pets in need. It is only with your help that we are able to provide shelter and care for an ever-growing number of homeless, injured, and neglected animals through adoptions, fostering, community partnerships, education, and affordable spay/neuter and veterinary services.
