Since 1974, the Humane Society of Walden has acted as a bridge between homelessness and forever homes for the thousands of animals who walk through our doors every year.

⚠️GROSS PHOTOS BELOW ⚠️

We need your help! Meet Tina and Tracy, two dachshund dogs who recently found their way to the Humane Society of Walden. These two pups are not just any dogs; they are a source of daily warmth for us. Tracy is the outgoing one, full of love and affection, while Tina is a bit more reserved and shy. Every day, they remind us of the incredible resilience and love that animals can offer.

But here's where they need us the most: Tina and Tracy are suffering from severe dental problems, causing them immense pain and discomfort. We can't let them continue to suffer.

The estimated cost for both of their much-needed dental procedures is almost $3000. This is a significant financial burden for our shelter, and that's why we are turning to our wonderful community for support.

Every dollar counts, and your support will ensure that Tina and Tracy receive the emergency dental care they urgently need. Time is of the essence to relieve their pain and discomfort, so please consider contributing today.

We believe in the power of compassion and kindness. Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of these two remarkable dachshunds, providing them with the chance to live happy, pain-free lives in a loving forever home.

Thank you for your generosity and support. Your contribution will bring comfort and relief to Tina and Tracy, and your love means the world to us.

🎉 Exciting News: Our Original page is Back! 🎊

We're thrilled to announce a major milestone in our journey – the return of our original page! 🌟

Last August, in 2022, we faced an unexpected challenge when we lost access to our page, along with the incredible community of over 15,000 followers that had grown with us over the years. We embarked on a new chapter, creating a brand new page from the ground up, and you, our amazing supporters, stood by us every step of the way. 🙏❤️

For an entire year, we tirelessly contacted Facebook in the hopes of regaining access to our cherished page. During this time, our new page continued to flourish, thanks to your unwavering support and engagement. 🚀

As if by fate, almost exactly one year after we initially lost access, Facebook granted us access to our original page! 🥳

So, what's next? We're not saying goodbye to the new page; instead, we're merging the two into one spectacular community hub! We can't express enough how grateful we are to each and every one of you for sticking with us throughout this journey. Your support is the driving force behind everything we do, and we can't wait to continue this incredible adventure together on our reunited page.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates, engaging content, and interactive discussions as we bring both pages together. 🚀

Thank you for being a part of the HSW family, and let's make the future even brighter, together! 💪🌟

😇🌈Stop by and see us at Forever Angels Pet Cemetery & Crematory today. Adoptable dogs will be walking the grounds throughout the day with their Sunday dog walkers. Our friends at Forever Angels have the best grounds, and make the final plans for your pets flawless. Saying goodbye to our pets is hard… they make the final arrangements easy.
You must see in person. If you’re curious, stop through-see what it’s about. Last year was the first time we went. It’s beyond amazing that such care goes into their grounds and such compassion for planning. It was a wonderful day learning about peoples past pets and meeting some of their new ones. We hope to see you there!

The month of August we participated in NBC New York s “clear the shelter” event. We had some amazing adoptions (check prior posts)!

We were told one possibly two of our pets here (Cookie and Phoenix ) would be featured on NBC News on August 31st. We were thrilled 😄 at them getting extra exposure! Unfortunately they were never featured and missed their moment of fame this round 😢

🚨Don’t fret though we had one of our local supporters hear about this and they have graciously pledged to pay both adoption fees of these two pets!
PHOENIX AND COOKIE HAVE A SPONSORED ADOPTION FEE 🎉🥳
While this anonymous donor cannot welcome them personally into their home. They want to boost these two especially that got jipped last week.
You will still need to be approved as an adopter.

🐶Phoenix has been with us almost TWO years - she’s 10 and so deserving of a great place to land. She adores tennis balls and people of all ages. She hops with excitement when you first take her out for a walk then settles to perfection. She has the best pittie smile and is a fan of being read to by kids in our rescue readers program! She must be only pet.

🍪 Cookie is also a senior who will be the first to greet you in our walk around free roam area. He loves his crinkle bag toy, and enjoys being in everyone’s business. He takes his guard cat duty seriously.

If interested in meeting either please stop by 12-3:30. Or email [email protected] for after hour options.

🔻We do pretty amazing things everyday…not everything is posted on social media. In all honesty, it’s hard to toot our own horns at times but BEEP BEEP! We had an amazing August. This board has hung in our lobby for years. It documents the names of those adopted that month. Sometimes we get fixated on numbers. But when we’re looking at the final tally we also see names.

On this months board there’s a pet that came to us when his owner felt he was not fitting in this world- he sadly decided to leave it… his pet is in a home. Another whose owner grew older and had to move with a family member, this pet was not adjusting well in a shelter environment but it’s names on the board! A pet returned two times to finally show that the third times a charm. A pet that was from another local town that was due to be euthanized. There are I believe 4 that took over a year to have their forever people come in this month! Then Ofcourse the strays…that always make us wonder why no one’s looking.

❓I wonder if whoever made this simple white board that hangs in our lobby knows how what’s written on it daily 🤞is literally life changing for the pets obviously, but also for the people that do the “in between homes” part.

Thankful for all of you. ❤️🐾
