50 years ago today, we're legal with the State!

July 7, 1958, could be considered our second birthday. Following creation of our Articles of Incorporation on May 24, 1958, our papers were officially filed at the Statehouse in Annapolis. Technically, we didn't really start using our current name -- the Montgomery County Humane Society -- until 1961, when we became fully independent of The Humane Society of the United States. So we're entitled to have a very long celebration.

Here's to another half-century!
