Governor Hogan signed into law this May the Pets for Vets Act 2021! This means veterans who adopt a pet from an animal control or municipal shelter in Maryland will have the adoption fee WAIVED. While this law only applies to such facilities, we would love to see EVERY shelter in MD participate in this thank you to our veterans. Veterans adopting from Talbot Humane, please remember to tell us you qualify for a waived adoption fee, it is the very least we can do for your service to our country and communities.
Easton, MD: Talbot Humane’s Unleashed Charity Running Program is thrilled to be running the streets of Easton again for the animals! We are seeking animal lovers of any fitness level to train with us for the Historic Drawbridge Half Marathon from Tilghman to St. Michaels this fall. We are holding an information meeting on August 4, 6 p.m., at the shelter (7894 Ocean Gtwy, Easton). Training begins Saturday, August 21, 7 a.m., 12 Magnolia St. in Easton (parking area next to ball fields).
The training method is run/walk/run, which is designed to build to the race distance quickly, prevent injury, and fit into busy lives. “The best part of this program is that it’s geared to get you off the couch and across the finish line of a 13.1-mile race in about 12 weeks,” says Head Coach, Amy Eutsey. “The program is so doable that many participants continue running as a regular form of fitness, challenging themselves to run more races or longer distances.”
**** If you would like to be kept in the loop of pre-conditioning training aids, information about the program, to have someone avaialble to answer your questions or concerns, please submit your email here, someone will be in touch soon! ****
For more information on the UNLEASHED program contact coach Amy Eutsey, (410)822-0107 or volunteer@talbothumane.org.

In times of crisis, people are often told to leave their homes for a “short time,” only to find that they cannot return for days or even weeks. As a result, community animal shelters are overwhelmed with lost and separated cats and dogs following a disaster. The past year has reminded us emergencies are not only natural disasters but could be family illnesses and injury too.
Being prepared is the best step families can take to ensure that they and their pets are ready to face an emergency. Knowing that a kit is packed and ready to go can put families at ease.
“Helping our residents and pets during an emergency is extremely important to our organization.” Said Patty Quimby, Executive Director of Talbot Humane. “The Talbot Animal Disaster Services Team has been in place and ready to assist our residents during weather or other catastrophic emergencies where an emergency shelter would need to be opened since 2010. Providing the tools to our residents to be prepared in the event of an emergency is a priority.” Quimby adds, “Preparedness saves lives.”
Families looking to learn more about disaster preparedness and safety can contact Talbot Humane (410)822-0107.
Most pet owners realize that keeping pets in hot cars can kill them…but not many realize just how quickly the effects of heatstroke can set in for a dog or cat. Heatstroke is a condition animals begin to suffer gradually, but it accelerates quickly; it’s easy for early signs of heatstroke to go unrecognized, and for the pet to be in an emergency situation within mere minutes.
On warm days, a vehicle acts like an oven. It holds the heat inside, and that heat becomes very intense even on days that don’t seem too warm. On an 85-degree day, for example, even with the windows open, the temperature inside a car can climb to 102 degrees in 10 minutes, and to 120 degrees in 30 minutes. With the humidity we experience here on the shore, it may go even higher. Because a dog’s normal body temperature is 101-102.5 degrees Fahrenheit, he can withstand a body temperature of 107-108 degrees for only a very short time before suffering irreparable brain damage…or death.

PETCO’s LoveLost Program is reuniting animals and their people online. This free, centralized lost and found tool is a single database that uses patented facial recognition technology to make finding lost pets quicker and easier. It is used by many shelters in our community to display all lost and found pets. Having all lost and found pets posted in the same place means that distressed pet owners no longer need to check dozens of different sources every day.
Animal shelters are on board, but we need your help to spread the word about this software so that any time a pet is lost or found, we all turn to Petco Love Lost.
Here’s what you need to know:
You can register your pets in the database right now so that if they ever go missing, the software will automatically alert you of animals in shelters that look like your pet.
Petco Love Lost is a FREE national database sponsored by Petco Love, formerly known as the Petco Foundation, so that there is never any expense to pet owners, finders or shelters!
Next time you see a lost/found post either in a group, on a neighborhood page or on a friend’s private account, link them to Petco Love Lost– you could be the reason a pet and his owner are reunited!
