Humane Society of Westchester

About

This animal shelter operates as a transitional facility for stray, lost, abandoned, injured, and abused animals throughout the Westchester County region. The organization has provided animal welfare services since 1911, offering both cat and dog adoptions to prospective pet owners. They also coordinate foster care programs for animals requiring temporary homes before permanent placement. The facility operates on an appointment-only basis seven days per week from 10am to 4pm, allowing potential adopters dedicated time to meet available animals. In addition to adoption services, they maintain active community outreach through local farmers markets and social media platforms where they feature adoptable pets. The organization relies on donations, volunteers, and monthly sponsors to support their ongoing rescue operations and animal care programs. Pet owners in the area can contact the shelter regarding lost animals, as they frequently assist with reuniting found pets with their families. Their comprehensive approach includes rehabilitation services for animals that have experienced neglect or abuse, preparing them for successful adoption into loving homes.
