About Herkimer County Humane Society

Mission Statement

The Herkimer County Humane Society is a non-profit, 501c3 charitable organization dedicated to providing shelter and safe haven for stray dogs and cats, until their forever homes are found.

Vision

Employ skilled, caring, compassionate shelter workers who work with local veterinarians for medical decisions for animals at the shelter or in foster care in support of being a low-kill shelter and provide daily feeding, cleaning, safety, care, attention, and love to all the animals at the shelter from the day they are rescued to they are adopted.
Heavily rely on committed volunteers to assist at the shelter, adoption clinics, fundraising, etc. activities and show appreciation for all, regardless of time available to volunteer.
Promote foster care home programs for special care animals while they require special attention and separation.
Employ a Cruelty Investigator for County to prevent animal abuse and neglect.
Provide humane education to our community on animal safety, importance of spay/neuter, safe human-animal interactions, and promote responsible pet ownership.
Follow vigorous Adoption practices to effectively screen adopters and carefully match animal to the right forever home.
Work with ACOs/DCOs and law enforcement in the County in providing an effective in-take process for rescued stray dog and cats coming to the shelter.
Appreciate our community, county, members, contributors, donators for providing funding in order to provide day-to-day animal care and shelter operations.

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Mohawk, NY.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
