While our event is FREE to attend, all adoption policies are still in place for animals. Please visit our site to apply now. Once approved, applications are good for up to six months, so you’ll be ready to go the day of the event! You can apply HERE.

For same day adoptions please bring the following paperwork with you:

• A copy of your current lease with pet policy if you rent
• Up-to-date rabies vaccination records for all pets currently in the home
• Driver’s license or State Issued ID

We highly encourage you to pre-apply, as same day adoptions will be processed AFTER preapproved applications.

This process is for Talbot Humane animals ONLY. Each rescue or humane society will have their own adoption process.

All dogs must be on a leash and cats must be in a carrier. 

Our Pet Pantry will be open and available throughout the event. If you are in need of food for your animals, please let us know at the event and a staff member will assist you.

If you would like to help our Pet Pantry services, please bring a can or small bag of cat or dog food to donate! We couldn’t do what we do without our humane community.

UNLEASHED for Talbot Humane is back and running local this Spring! UNLEASHED is in it’s 11th year of raising funds for the pets and programs served by Talbot Humane. This Spring we are running the St. Michaels Running Festival on May 20th. We are excited to invite the community- weekend warriors to confirmed couch potatoes to join us in taking ordinary people and helping them do extraordinary things for themselves and the animals. 

Don’t let the idea of having never run, or having to raise funds stop you from coming out. We promise- you will be able to do both! We help you every step of the way with both training and fundraising. Remember, you can do anything you put your heart and mind to!
