The Humane Society of Washington County Maryland is a nonprofit, open-admission animal shelter based in Hagerstown, Maryland, serving Washington County. It works to promote the welfare of companion and domestic animals through education and programs that reduce overpopulation, encourage fostering, support adoptions, and foster responsible pet guardianship. The shelter takes in about 6,000 animals each year, and in 2014 it reported a live-release rate of 69%, reflecting the share successfully rehomed. It serves local residents seeking adoptions, fostering opportunities, or guidance on responsible pet care. In December 2023, the organization introduced a cat named Quinn as a recent example of its ongoing adoption initiatives.
