Welcome Elmo to Humphrey House

Elmo represents every reason why Humphrey House for Homeless Animals was founded.

Elmo's a senior...he's blind...he's deaf...he was neglected...and he certainly didn't deserve to be stuck in a shelter.

Elmo is estimated to be around 12 years old and weighs 16 pounds. We believe he is a Miniature Poodle, or possibly a Schnoodle (Schnauzer/Poodle). Despite being blind, deaf, missing half his ear, and roaming the streets of Baltimore city alone while covered in fleas, he is still the sweetest boy you could ask for.

Elmo has been cleaned up, chipped and vaccinated. He had bloodwork done at our vet yesterday and everything looks good. His eyes do not seem to be painful, so we have ruled out having to remove them. ELmo is being treated for a double ear infection, which may help restore some of his hearing. His next step is being neutered. While under anesthesia, they can evaluate his teeth.

Elmo is scheduled to be neutered this Friday (September 16, 2022) at Homeward Bound Veterinary Services in Bel Air, Maryland. He is available for adoption immediately as long as his adopter can accommodate his neuter appointment. Humphrey House for Homeless Animals is located in Harford County, Maryland for meetings. Thank you!

Welcome Charlie Back to Humphrey House

After 1 year exactly from the time we originally took him into rescue as a 3 month old puppy, Charlie has found his way back to our rescue through no fault of his own.

Charlie has spent the last year as an ESA (Emotional Support Animal) for his adopter. They went everwhere together, including moving to Georgia. Unfortunately, his owner was in an accident that left him unable to work, so they moved back to Maryland to start over. When his owner went to apply for benefits, Charlie was not allowed in the building. His owner made the bad decision to leave Charlie in the car. It was over 90 degrees that day. 😞 The police were called. Charlie was removed from the situation and taken to animal control. When Charlie wasn't reclaimed, we received the call to come get him.

Charlie is a 15 month old, 50 pound, very energetic hound/pit mix. He would love a fenced yard to run around in, although he'll still watch your every move and wont go far from his person. Charlie is a very affectionate boy that loves attention. He has done well with cats and other dogs, but his high energy might be too much for some.

Charlie is neutered, chipped and current on vaccines. He is currently being fostered in Abingdon, Maryland. Send us a message on Facebook to meet this energetic, handsome boy.
