With great sorrow we lost our beloved Molly to liver cancer on 12/6/12. 

We adopted her in the end of 2003. She was even a 2005 Putnam Humane Society calendar girl.

She loved to swim, run and herd. 
She was a great dog and is truly missed. 

We love you Molly.

Sarge
REST IN PEACE

RIP our dearly beloved Sarge 3/27/2011 - 11/12/2012 

Sarge was in charge! He loved his walks & supervising all the yard work. He always liked to pause a bit, sniff, & look at what was happening. Gaze at all the pretty colors of the leaves. Listening to the birds sing & trying to figure out where they were was fun too. Sarge had his travels... CT, MA, & Watkins Glen this summer. We all enjoyed this time. He even knew when HE wanted to go to bed. Sarge would look at you.. why are you guys still up? Daddy would then happily wheelbarrow him upstairs to bed.

You were the wind beneath our wings..we'll never forget you :((

You are in heaven now.We are grateful to have been the lucky ones to adopt you.

Sam
REST IN PEACE

Sam was the second dog we brought home from PHS. We intended to foster him through the heat wave. He walked in and after 5 minutes he went into our bedroom and brought out the favorite toy of my beloved deceased Beagle, Bugle.
THAT WAS THE SIGN> HE WAS OURS ;)
 
I will treasure all of our memories with him. Yes, even the time he opened the fridge and ate the whole Ham and we had to rush him to the vet and get it “removed” so he wouldn’t die. 800 dollars later, we started locking the fridge. ;)

Thanks PHS for rescuing us with Sam The Beagle.

Stanley
REST IN PEACE

Stanley was a handsome red tabby who came to me last year. He was very dog like and extremely loving and cuddly. He became sick in June and I have now returned him to God. It was a privilege and a pleasure to have him here with me. He asked only for love and I miss him so much. Thank you God for lending me this angel and thank you Stanley for warming my heart. I wish I could kiss your soft little nose one more time.

Gertie
REST IN PEACE

Gertie. Principessa. Italian runway model wrapped loosely in a brindle velvet blanket with a dusting of powdered sugar on her sweet mouth. Quacked like a duck. Worked her way to a full body wiggle, propelled by her happy little stumper motor. Ever anxious knowing hopeful healing home cooked chicken wrapped in foil was on its way. Told with every step, how beautiful, elegant, stoic, and loved she was. Infinite soul pools for eyes. She worked her magic on the lucky. She found love and shelter and left us weeping when her good work on earth was done.

Phoenix
REST IN PEACE

Run free Phoenie...

Phoenix was lucky to have ended up at The Putnam Humane Society – He never would have had the chance to be the “head dog” at so many Strutt Your Mutts or to end up in the home he was always meant to be in… had he been at another shelter – he would have barely been a fleeting presence before being euthanized… Instead, he thankfully led a long, healthy life being loved by his shelter family and his adoptive family.

He was a “Once in a Lifetime” dog…

Leah

We met Leah, thanks to Stacy, in late February 2010. After a couple of weeks of walking her every day and getting to know each other, Leah came Home Forever 3/6/2010 - three years after someone left her tied to the gate at PHS.

Well, for an old girl who we are sure was badly abused early in her life, we soon realised she was going blind and was already almost completely deaf. She quickly became the most loving, devoted and gracious companion. She cared for us, she watched over us, and she clearly loved us as much as we loved her. A perfect example of a German Shepherd.

We lost her 3/11/2011. It was clear she chose her time. She didnt suffer and we will be forever grateful to her for spending her last year with us.

Thank you to Stacy, Courtney, Sam and all at PHS for caring for her until we brought her home forever.

RIP dear Leah 3/6/2010- 3/11/2011
Forever in our hearts...

Shadow
REST IN PEACE

14 years ago and for reasons I still can not explain, I turned my van into your shelter just to "look around" and came out of there with the best friend I ever had. His name was Shadw....a 6 month old yellow lab. Today and for the last 4 days, I carry a very heavy heart. This past Sunday I had to put my buddy Shadow to sleep. I miss him so, so much and now I am totally lost without him. The picture I am sending you was taken about 3 months ago and it is now my computer wallpaper. The leash & collar you see on him I now carry alone on my morning walks by myself. I'm just so sad.

I can only hope that Shadow is now in dog heaven with my first best friend, Buster.He was a black lab whom I also miss very much. I know that I simply can not get another dog right now, but I would like to volunteer my time at PHS if that's alright with you. I would also prefer to spend time with the older dogs.They need love the most.

Rest In Peace Shadow and Play Pain Free. Daddy loves you and will never forget you.

Journey
REST IN PEACE

He came into my life after being rescued off the streets by PHS, weighing in at an alarming 35lbs years ago. He fought his way back to enjoy life and to give me the most amazing gift... me being his companion. Journey loved marrow bones with a passion, he swam in the Hudson like a born olympic swimmer and never ever failed happily waiting for me at the door every evening. He was my mystery dog, hair never did grow out on him! I want to thank the wonderful people who support the dogs and cats and who gave my germsy boy a chance to fight. I miss covering him every night with his blankets and I don't think I will ever look at the Hudson River the same again. I can only hope that one day we can play stick again and I promise I will throw it every time!

Respectfully,
Amour Du Plessis
Ginnie
REST IN PEACE

I adopted Ginnie from PHS July 5, 2006. She got hemangio-sarcoma (cancer) Feb.16th, 2008. She was given 0-3 months to live she passed away May 15, 2010. She was an amazing girl. She was the best girl you could ever want. She taught me more then I think I taught her. She was always a happy girl. She was always smiling and wanted to be near me and waiting for me by the door. The day she took her last breath was the saddest day of my life. My heart cries for her. I am soo sad without her. Please Ginnie Finally RIP baby girl. You were always wanted pumpkin! Your Mommy misses u so much. (Everybody who ever met u misses u also.)

Dwaine (and Eddie)
REST IN PEACE

I am greatly pained to report that Dwaine was put to sleep last Wednesday evening. Up until Tuesday, we had managed his lung cancer symptoms well and he was clearly enjoying life so I’m comforted that he didn’t suffer long. This is an exceptionally painful loss for me; Dwaine has been such a big, loving, cheery presence in my home and my heart. And was always at my side.My everlasting gratitude goes to the Putnam County Humane Society for preserving the lives of Dwaine and Eddie. Older dogs are not lost causes
and we should always hold out hope for them to have forever homes with people who will love them and whose lives will be enriched by them.

- Helen Hevers

Eddie was Dwane's brother who passed away a few months after Helen adopted them together 4 years ago.

Thank you Helen for giving them loving home and being such a kind person.

Rest In Peace.
