The Society is the oldest and largest animal protection organization in New York's Capital Region, receiving an average of over 6,000 animals per year. MHHS is an independent organization and receives no ongoing funding from federal, state or local governments or any other animal welfare organization to support our many programs that impact our community and its pets. We rely on your generous donations to support our vital services for the animals.
