2007 MARYLAND CHARITY CAMPAIGN.
Talbot Humane has been selected to participate in the 2007 Maryland Charity Campaign. Open to all MD state employees. Our designation code is 1280. The campaign kicks off in September. Please contact the shelter for complete details.

BECOME A MEMBER
Talbot Humane always welcomes new members, volunteers, and financial supporters. With your help, we can touch the lives of many homeless and abused animals in our community as we strive to give them a second chance.
Membership entitles you to attend the annual meeting, to receive a subscription to our newsletter, Shelter Tales, and to join our staff of volunteers.

VOLUNTEER
Talbot Humane volunteers are very special people who share the same goals for animal welfare as our staff. We depend on them to help out in a variety of ways. In addition to working directly with the animals, office/clerical and housekeeping jobs must be done. Volunteers may assist in many ways. 

TNR--Trap-Neuter-Return
Do you like cats? How about fishing? Well we have a project where you can do both! We are in need of helping hands for our weekly Trap-Neuter-Return program. If you have even 2 hours to give on Wednesday morning or afternoon or Friday morning we can use you! It is not a difficult job to learn and it truly is rewarding when you realize these animals would be euthanized if we did not have this program! We try to trap between 6-8 cats for our weekly clinics and need more hands--our friend Ursula cannot do it all on her own! Anyone interested in learning more about the program please contact Patty Quimby, 410-822-0107.

SPECIAL PROJECTS COMMITTEE
Are you a social butterfly? Do you enjoy party planning? Do you have some original ideas on how our shelter can boost fundraising? Then why don’t you think about joining the Talbot Humane Special Projects Committee. This committee is VERY important to our shelter’s ability to provide important services to our shelter residents and the community.

The Special Projects Committee (SPC) of volunteers was organized in 1998 to plan and execute annual events for the specific purpose of raising funds for the comfort and care of the animals at the shelter. The SPC works with the Executive Director to determine where funds are specifically needed. Some of the events organized and run by the SPC include an annual Dog Walk, "faux" event, golf tournament, Christmas Open House, and the always popular and sold-out Luncheon and Fashion Show. Additionally members volunteer for spay/neuter clinics, plan and coordinate neuter-a-thons and adopt-a-thons, help at adoption venues, and participate in seasonal community parades and other appropriate venues. New ideas and new and enthusiastic members are always welcome.

Meeting time is 10:00 a.m. on the 1st Monday of each month, here at the shelter. If you are interested in learning more, stop in on the 1st Monday or give us a call if you cannot make it this time but want to be contacted for future meetings.

BECOME A FOSTER PARENT
In January 2004, Talbot Humane began a new program for shelter animals that have not yet been adopted. These animals may include kittens and puppies that are too young to be adopted, as well as animals with injuries, cruelty cases, and those needing socialization. In order for these animals to ultimately find permanent loving homes in the community, they all need special care--special care you could provide by opening your heart and home to become a foster parent.
