An Introduction

From the highway we may not look like much, but inside the Meriden Humane Society is something truly special. We are a private, no-kill shelter and rescue facility where many special needs animals find a loving enviornment while they are inbetween homes. Animals that might not be given a chance elsewhere are given the special care they need to lead happy and healthy lives. Every animal has the potential to be a great companion, and we feel it is our duty to provide them with a comfortable place to live while they wait to meet their new best friend.

There is a home out there for every animal and an animal for every home. If you think you might be ready to bring home a new family member, take a look at our Petfinder and click on 'Our Pet List'.

We depend solely on donations to help our animals, as we receive no state or city funding. Our deepest appreciation goes out to every person who has ever brought a blanket for the dogs or a few dollars for the cats. Thank you for supporting our animals.

In the future this blog will be used to educate about proper pet care, shelter news, fundraising events, and animals in need of help. Check back for photos and stories from our furry friends.
