The Howard County Animal Control and Adoption Center Pet Food Bank is low on pet food and cat litter. If you are able to donate, please consider doing so using the link below or drop off donations at the shelter.

The Pet Food Bank enables Animal Control to help pet owners in need of assistance. In many cases they're able to help an animal stay in its loving home rather than being surrendered due to financial need. Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated.
