The Mohawk Hudson Humane Society is the oldest and largest animal protection organization in New York's Capital Region. It is a great place to find and adopt a pet, with many animals up for adoption. The place is generally described as clean and bigger, with animals obviously well cared for. Staff, including front desk personnel, are noted as very nice and friendly. The adoption process can be smooth, with some walk-ins able to complete paperwork and meet an animal the same day, sometimes receiving a starter kit. They provide shelter and care and offer programs like low-cost services, vaccination clinics, a pet food pantry, and humane education, including volunteer opportunities for kids. Many reviewers have successfully adopted animals there throughout the years, noting their shelter pets have the best personalities. The cats are kept as comfortable as possible in kitty condos or community rooms. However, some experiences are less positive. One consoling note mentions that the barking echoes horribly in the dog rooms, which is hard for more sensitive dogs, highlighting that more foster families are always needed. In one detailed account, a family was heartbroken to be turned away from adopting a specific cat, being told it was unfriendly and that no cats suited their family, which felt unfair as others were meeting cats. They wished for a better experience. Overall, the organization is seen as going above and beyond, saving many lives and relying on donations for a great cause.
I love this shelter. They do everything to help the pets in their shelter.

They go above and beyond. Please support them, if you can. They've saved so many lives of these beautiful animals. The animals can't protect themselves but we can.
