The Yonkers Humane Society, Inc. was established to support the animals at the Yonkers Animal Shelter and vulnerable animals in the community.

Some of our present and future projects include:

Contributing to the fund to build a new shelter, replacing the outmoded facility now in operation
Sponsoring community adoption days
Purchasing a mobile adoption van to provide low cost spay/neuter services to residents
Supporting the spay/neuter programs to reduce overpopulation and decrease the number of unwanted pets
Contributing funds for specialized care for abused and neglected animals
Providing educational programs to schools and community groups in order to reduce the incidence of animal abuse
Helping to promote senior and special needs dogs that are currently up for adoption at the Yonkers Animal Shelter

We work with staff and administration to improve the life of shelter residents and we work to keep animals out of the shelter by coordinating with rescue networks.
