Waiver and Release: The Baltimore Humane Society (BHS) is not responsible for any illness or injury that may be caused from any items distributed through the food bank. Bags of food may be opened prior to distribution and supplies may be gently used. BHS cannot accept requests for certain brands of food. BHS cannot guarantee the amount of food or supplies or their availiability through the food bank. BHS also reserves the right to limit distribution to five cats and three dogs per household. We reserve the right to restrict distribution once a month to each household/rescue organization. BHS reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who becomes verbally abusive with BHS staff or volunteers.

Please note that those receiving food from the Bmore Kind Pet Food Bank are not eligible to adopt a pet from BHS, unless we deem appropriate. BHS will discontinue providing food bank service to those who acquire more pets or have plans on breeding their pets. We encourage food bank recipients to focus on their current pets before adding new pets to the home.
