Humane Society of Walden
Our Mission
The Humane Society of Walden is a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit safe haven committed to rescuing and rehoming stray and abandoned cats and dogs. We believe that all animals have a natural right to humane treatment, proper care, respect, and a safe, comfortable shelter.
Our History and Community
Since our founding in 1974, we have provided over 50 years of care, compassion, and second chances to animals in need. We serve as a vital community resource for Walden and the surrounding towns, including Montgomery, Crawford, Shawangunk, and Mamakating.
How We Care
As a no-kill shelter, we provide individualized care for every animal that comes through our doors, supported by our staff, volunteers, and community partners. We rely on a blend of shelter-based care and dedicated foster heroes who provide essential temporary homes for kittens, hospice cases, and animals in need of extra recovery time.
Your Partner in Adoption
We are deeply committed to placing our animals into loving, responsible homes where they can truly thrive. Our thoughtful, multi-step adoption process is designed to ensure each pet is matched perfectly with your lifestyle, environment, and readiness for a long-term commitment. We believe that finding your new best friend should be a joyful, well-supported partnership that brings love and happiness into your home for years to come.
Join Our Mission
If you are thinking about adding a pet to your family, we invite you to visit us and discover the companion who may be waiting for you. Please explore our website to view our featured adoptable animals or learn how you can support our life-saving work through volunteering or donations. We look forward to seeing you at the shelter soon!
