The Humane Society of Walden is a no-kill, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides a haven for stray and abandoned cats and dogs. This animal shelter serves the communities of Montgomery, Walden, Maybrook, Crawford, Wawarsing, Shawangunk, and Mamakating, but it also welcomes pets in need from across the country.

The Humane Society is home to many wonderful dogs and cats of various breeds, ages, and sizes. Visitors are encouraged to come and meet their potential pet companions.

The Humane Society believes all animals deserve humane treatment, including proper care, respect, and safe shelter. Its primary mission is to provide essential care while working to find permanent, loving homes for the many animals that arrive at its facility.

Each year, millions of animals are euthanized due to a lack of available homes. Recent statistics indicate that only 1 out of 10 dogs and 1 out of 12 cats born will secure a permanent loving home, with an alarming rate of 800 cats and dogs being euthanized every hour in the United States alone.

The Humane Society of Walden emphasizes the importance of spaying and neutering pets and advocates for adoption as the first choice when selecting a cat or dog for a family.
