The Mission of PHS

We are here for the animals…

To be the voice for the animals who cannot speak for themselves.

To provide protection, a safe haven and compassion through leadership for the homeless, abused, and neglected animals of our community.

To be the advocates for our unwanted/abandoned pets and promote humane awareness for all animals.

PHS is dedicated to nurturing and protecting the animals in our care while they await adoption. We are committed to providing these animals with the patience, confidence, discipline, nutrition, medical treatment, and socialization they may require until they can be adopted into responsible homes.

PHS is a NO KILL SHELTER – meaning, we do not euthanize for space limitations. We provide euthanasia for terminally ill and seriously injured animals to end their suffering when reasonable courses of treatment have been exhausted. We consider humane euthanasia in the animal’s best interest – if an animal is behaviorally or mentally tormented to the degree that they will not allow any human contact or interaction and only after every effort has been exhausted to modify the behavior issues of the animal.

Can You Find It In Your Heart?

Putnam Humane Society is in constant need of foster homes for our dogs while they await adoption.

The dogs that are highlighted here are special, having been at the shelter for a long amount of time, or don't do well in kennels, or just need that extra love and attention to be the best dog they can be.

Can you find it in your heart and home to help out one of these beautiful creatures?
