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. We’ve expanded and improved throughout the years, and continue to grow to meet the needs of our community and pet population as funds permit.
