Legacy Giving
Planning a Gift to Caroline County Humane Society

The following pages will offer ideas as to how you can be a partner in helping us protect animals in our county and maintain an active adoption program for the homeless dogs and cats (and other domestic animals) that come under our care at the Caroline County Animal Shelter. Legacy giving provides the resources necessary to sustain excellence and preserve the future of Caroline County Humane Society.
