"With so many creatures large and small, surely there's a pet for one and all." - Dr. Seuss
Founded in 1959, The Middletown Humane Society is a No-Kill, privately run animal shelter in Middletown N.Y. It serves the City of Middletown as well as surrounding communities. The shelter is funded ONLY through the generosity of our supporters. We DO NOT receive any funding or support from the Humane Society of the United States. Donate to Middletown Humane Society »
Come in and visit us. You’ll find people who are happy to guide you through the process of finding just the right pet, be it a cat, a dog, a hamster or even a bird. We will also guide adopters through the process of welcoming shelter animals into their homes. Can’t keep your beloved pet? If there is space, we can provide transitional housing and will work hard to find another loving home.
Sign-up as a volunteer. We can always find a use for another pair of helping hands. Low cost private and group cremation services for beloved pets are available to the general public. Please call the shelter for more information. Nathan Winograd, a leader in the No Kill Movement, calculated that people “only need to increase the market for shelter pets by three percent in order to eliminate killing.”
Our Animals
The shelter does not receive funding from either the ASPCA or the Humane Society of the United States. Our existence depends primarily on the generosity of people like you, as well as our adoption fees. No donation is ever too small and never too big! We greatly appreciate all donations.
