Animal Advocates of Howard County
Animal Advocates of Howard County is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preventing the suffering of animals in our area. Although we focus primarily on the plight of homeless pets, we are also interested in animal health, safety, and environmental issues, and promote activities which strengthen the human-animal bond. We are actively involved in legislative issues regarding animal cruelty, and also those which affect wildlife. We believe that the way animals are treated is a reflection of the quality of our society. Hundreds of members, volunteers, and supporters share in this belief and have helped us become the strongest and most respected animal welfare group in the area. We are not affiliated with the Howard County Animal Welfare Society nor any other organization including those using the term "Animal Advocates" in the name.
Animal Advocates promotes the adoption of shelter animals. However, we take a limited number of rescue animals in as space allows. If you see an animal you are interested in, please note if they are in the shelter or in rescue for contact information. Any animals that start with a number are in the shelter.
