Welcome to our shelter! Come check us out on our: Website: https://www.meridenhumanesocietyrescue.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMeridenHumaneSociety Founded in 1893, the Meriden Humane Society is a non-profit, no kill animal shelter and rescue facility. Many of our animals are taken from high risk situations or surrendered by private citizens who are no longer able to care for their animals. Our organization is privately run and operated. We are supported by patrons and residents who donate to our facility. Contrary to popular belief, we are not affiliated with the Connecticut Humane Society. Without the help we receive from the citizens of our community and surrounding communities, we would not be able to save all the animals that we do. We believe it is our moral responsibility to protect/improve the lives of animal in our care and to place them in loving permanent homes. We help due this by providing them necessary medical care, sterilizations, consistent training, and a safe and healthy environment with unconditional love. These are critical for ensuring we set them up for future successes. We are committed to working collectively with others who share our dedication and passion for the voiceless. We are committed to helping our Community Members by providing food/supply assistance, education on the importance of pet sterilization, responsible pet ownership, disease control, humane treatment of animals, and resources to assist with a variety of challenge faced by pet owners.
