Humane Society of Westchester at New Rochelle
Our Mission
The Humane Society of Westchester is dedicated to promoting the human-animal bond through the compassionate care of stray, lost, abandoned, and injured animals. We strive to provide a transitional home that prepares every animal for a loving, permanent family.
A Legacy of Caring
Founded in 1911, our organization has spent over a century protecting animals throughout Westchester County. From our early days as the New Rochelle Humane Society to our current role as a regional resource, we have remained committed to kindness and the belief that pet ownership is a lifetime commitment.
How We Help
As a no-kill facility, we focus on providing a healthy, low-stress environment for the hundreds of animals that pass through our doors each year. Our modern shelter in New Rochelle is designed with plenty of sunlight and fresh air to ensure our residents feel comfortable while they await their forever families. We are proud to serve 19 communities across Westchester, offering rescue, medical treatment, and daily enrichment.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and our goal is to match each pet with a home that suits their individual personality and needs. Our dedicated adoption counselors work closely with you to understand your lifestyle, ensuring that every placement is the right fit for both you and your new companion. We encourage the whole family to meet the pet, so you can start your new life together with confidence.

10/7 - It’s been two weeks since JOURNEY was found severely underweight and cruelly tied to a tree. 💔 Her tail just keeps wagging! For the past two weeks, this sweet girl has been safe with us, surrounded by so much love, care, and compassion. We’re incredibly happy to share that Journey has gone from just 24 pounds to 35 pounds! ❤️ She still has a little way to go before reaching a healthy weight, but please know that we are working hard to get her there. She is healing, growing stronger, and learning what it feels like to be loved. Now, the only thing missing from Journey’s life is a loving forever home—a family who will promise to love her, protect her, and give her the safe and happy life she so deeply deserves. At just 6 months old, this beautiful Shepherd mix has already been through more than any puppy ever should. Now it’s her turn to know nothing but love. 🐾❤️ Journey is ready for her happily ever after. If you’re ready too, please submit an application & call us directly at (914) 632-2925! https://humanesocietyofwestchester.org/adopt-a-dog/

9/25 - We can’t believe that it was two years ago today that we lost our beloved Bill Spinelli. Bill was an amazing & very dedicated volunteer for HSW, not just walking our dogs every day, but volunteering for events, including our dog wash & driving our HSW van in the New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade. He was a beautiful soul — truly one-of-a kind! We love you & miss you, Bill!

9/23 - Just look at what cruelty lurks among us. . This poor baby girl was found tied up behind a billboard at South Fulton and East 5th Avenue in Mount Vernon. . Tied so tightly around the tree, she couldn’t even turn around. Left screaming for 2 days before someone finally called Mount Vernon Police Department, it’s clear given the area she was left, the intention was for her to starve to death unseen. And she sure came close. Thank goodness for this girl’s fight for life! . Safe with us, and now named JOURNEY, she is about 8 months old and sweet as can be. JOURNEY is a true survivor who has laughed in the face of pure evil. Now all JOURNEY needs is a wonderful home where she’ll be safe, warm, fed and loved for the rest of her life! . To meet JOURNEY, please submit an adoption application and call us at (914) 632-2925 to review: https://humanesocietyofwestchester.org/adopt-a-dog/
