Our Story
Since 1974, the staff and volunteers of the Humane Society of Walden (HSW) have provided quality care for many orphaned pets while they wait for their forever homes.
The Humane Society of Walden is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping orphaned cats and dogs. Our no kill safe haven serves the communities of Montgomery, Walden, Maybrook, Pine Bush, Shawangunk, and Mamakating. However, if we have the space we will not turn away pets in need.
Shelter staff sees that each of our animals receive the very best possible care. Our haven has dog kennels with outside access. Thanks to the staff and volunteers the dog kennels were completely renovated in the Summer of 2017. Outside kennels and an onsite dog park provide space for the dogs to get exercise. Adoptability training classes are held weekly and with volunteer participation dogs are learning basic commands. In 2016 the Walk in the Park Dog Walk Program was introduced and was an instant success. Volunteers are matched with a dog and meet offsite at Winding Hills Park where they enjoy time away from the shelter(weather permitting).
HSW has several cat rooms; General Walk around, FIV+ room and FeLv+ room (Leukemia). Unless medically necessary (on a special diet, in need of daily meds etc), most cats are free roaming and all enjoy the pleasure of scratching posts, comfy beds, and toys! The General Walk Around allows access to the outside in a completely enclosed pen with many lofty perches.
Mission Statement:
The Humane Society of Walden believes that all animals have a natural right to humane treatment including proper care, respect and safe shelter. Our primary mission is to provide care while finding permanent, loving homes for the many animals that come to our door.
