Welcome to CHN!  Established in 2016, Canine Humane Network is a non-profit dog rescue, shelter, adoption and training organization here in Highland, Howard County, Maryland.  We are substantially operated by amazing and dedicated volunteer staff and many big-hearted volunteer foster families.

Here at Canine Humane Network, we are dedicated to saving the lives of homeless dogs and providing safe haven, humane care, and adoption programs for our rescued dogs. We are deeply invested in the lifelong happiness of the dogs and the owners we serve.

We strive to build a humane environment for animals and people by providing excellent resources and training including humane education and therapy dog programs.

We are delighted you have found us and we look forward to serving your canine companion needs!  Please get in touch with us for any questions you may have.  Thank you!
