Our Story
The Massena Humane Society is a private animal shelter in upstate New York, nestled between the St. Lawrence River and the Adirondack Mountains. Our cozy facility is open to visitors Monday - Saturday from 1 to 5 pm to adopt animals and admit incoming strays. We contract with the towns of Louisville, Norfolk, Massena, Dickinson, Brandon and Waverly to provide sheltering services for their homeless animals.
We have a 100% adoption rate with adoptable animals. Local residents are encouraged to contact us with any litters of puppies or kittens. If space is available we would prefer to admit them to ensure they are spayed or neutered before being placed in their new home.
Our adoptable animals are posted on our website at Massena.petfinder.com. Adoption fees are kept low and all animals are spayed/neutered, and vaccinated before being adopted. We welcome our Canadian neighbors and provide animal health records required to cross the border.
The Massena Humane Society is proud to offer a low income spay/neuter clinic for residents in our community. We wish to assist responsible pet owners on a limited budget. Please pick up an application from our lobby, provide proof of income, and get your pet scheduled for an appointment.
Please be aware: For the protection of our animals, our facility and grounds are under video surveillance.
