Putnam County Humane Society Animal Shelter

Carmel, New York, United States

General Info:

The Putnam Humane Society is a not for profit animal shelter located in Putnam County New York. We were founded in 1957 by Marjorie Jenkins who started the society in a small barn on Nichols Street. We moved to our current location on Old Route 6 behind Putnam Plaza in the mid seventies. Time and an ever expanding population has caught up with our building. We are hoping to break ground very soon on a new facility in the Town of Southeast. We are contracted by Carmel, Kent, Patterson ( secondary ), Phillipstown and Southeast to provide shelter services for lost and stray dogs that are brought to us by these town's dog control officers and the public under New York State Agriculture & Markets law. We are funded by the above contracts, Putnam County, membership dues and the donations and goodwill of the public at large. We do not receive any funding from the ASPCA or any national Humane Societies. All donations are 100% tax deductible. The shelter is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that is elected by the membership. The current board members as of June 29, 2009 are:
