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.
