The Humane Society of Hampshire County is a non-profit organization whose mission is to relieve and prevent animal suffering and abuse by
1. Providing a humane, temporary shelter for stray and unwanted companion animals.
2. Carrying forward a continuous program of fundamental, widespread humane education promoting responsible pet ownership.
3. Reducing the overbreeding of dogs and cats through public education and sterilization programs.
4. Working to create a community with humane and caring attitudes towards both domestic animals and wildlife.
The Humane Society of Hampshire County is the only shelter in the community which accepts both stray and unwanted cats and dogs. We receive no government funding and rely entirely on memberships, donations, fund raising, and grant monies. Donations may be made as memorials (pet or human), or can be earmarked for spay/neuter projects, general operations, or staff training.
We have a paid staff of one exceptional shelter manager, one assistant, and a small corps of very dedicated volunteers. Included in this group of people are two certified euthanasia technicians, three people who have received training in wildlife rehabilitation, several persons who have received training at Humane Society of the United States shelter conferences, and a veterinarian who volunteers for health evaluations and performs neutering surgeries at a reduced cost.
Public hours are by appointment. This is to allow our small staff and volunteers to work efficiently which better serves both our pets and prospective adopters. Please leave a message on our answering machine and it will be returned promptly.
