History of Blooming Grove Humane Society
Opened on June 19, 1987 for approximately $35,000.00 the shelter came to be after much hard work from then President Huguette Page. Who worked tirelessly with The Town of Blooming Grove and then Town of Blooming Grove Supervisor Nancy Calhoun. Within the first ten days of being opened, six dogs found their way into their forever homes. In the past Dr. James O’Connor would house the stray or abandoned dogs at his veterinarian’s practice on Rt.208, but he only had room for dogs. The new shelter enabled the Humane Society to now house cats, which were previously housed out of Ms. Having the shelter also allowed much of the community to become involved, and allowed for volunteers to help and socialize the dogs and cats.
