Putnam Humane Society | Provide care and shelter for homeless dogs and cats of Putnam County New York until they are adopted into their "forever homes."

PHS Staff & Volunteers showing some love!

The Putnam Humane Society is a not for profit animal shelter located in Putnam County, NY. We were founded in 1957 as one of the first no-kill shelters in the country by Marjorie Jenkins who started the society in a small barn on Nichols Street. We have since moved to our current location on Old Route 6 behind Putnam Plaza and have expanded and improved throughout the years, and continue to grow to meet the needs of our community and pet population as funds permit.

Lost & Found!

Do you know what to do if your dog or cat is lost? If you find a pet? Time is of the essence!

PHS has developed a great resource page to help you! From links to websites to post pictures of your pet, advice on who to notify or call, and what to do to help prevent a lost pet, like micro-chipping and making sure your pet is wearing their id tags and vaccination tags. We at PHS developed this page for you, knowing that it is a very stressful time, and we are here to help. Click Here to learn more!
