Humane Society of Westchester at New Rochelle

Our Mission

The Humane Society of Westchester is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering the vital bond between humans and animals through compassionate care, treatment, and public education. We believe that pet ownership is a lifetime commitment and strive to create a brighter future for the animals in our community.

A Legacy of Caring

Since our founding in 1911, our organization has evolved from a local group of animal advocates into a modern, professional shelter serving 19 communities in Westchester County. Today, we continue that long-standing tradition of kindness, ensuring that every animal in our care receives the respect and protection they deserve.

Our Commitment to Quality Care

As a no-kill shelter, we provide a safe, modern transitional home for lost, stray, abandoned, and injured animals until they find their permanent families. Our facility, fully renovated to provide a low-stress environment with plenty of natural light, is operated by a dedicated team of professionals who ensure every resident receives proper nutrition, medical care, and daily enrichment.

Finding Your Perfect Match

We are deeply committed to successful, long-term adoptions by carefully matching each animal’s unique personality and needs with the right family. Our adoption counselors work closely with you to understand your lifestyle, ensuring a joyful and lasting partnership between you and your new companion. Because we prioritize these thoughtful connections, we encourage potential adopters to visit us to meet our wonderful residents in person.
