Sponsor our 3rd Annual HOWL-O-WEEN 5k Run/Walk:

Dear Caroline County Animal Lover,
The Caroline County Humane Society is having our third HOWL-o-ween 5K Run or Walk. PLEASE BE A SPONSOR! You logo or name will appear on the back of the event shirts given to each participant.


The Shelter is a 50l(c)3 organization and each year CCHS must raise more than $300,000 to keep the its doors open for homeless pets. While the Shelter receives a funding allocation from Caroline County Government each year, it isn’t even half of the money needed to keep this essential community service. Your support of the HOWL-o-ween 5K will help us raise much needed funds.


Consider the importance of having an organization like CCHS in our community. In 2020 we had over 1,500 animals come through our doors—including cats, dogs, and even pigs, birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits. Most or these animals come to the Shelter suffering from the effects of neglect. The staff and volunteers provide necessary medical care and much needed love, and they work tirelessly to find homes for these animals.


To be a sponsor for the 3rd Annual HOWL-O-WEEN 5k, please call 410-820-1600 or leanne.gower@carolinehumane.org.
