Dog Care Professionals
HSW Dog Care Professionals provide every dog and puppy that awaits adoption a clean and healthy environment. The daily scrubbing of each kennel, feeding nutritional meals and providing cozy blankets to snuggle into is just the beginning of the day for this team. Each Dog Care Professional has been trained to work with our dogs’ behavioral needs, providing daily enrichment and training to ensure high quality of life in the shelter and successful adoptions into loving homes. It goes without saying, that doggie cuddles and kisses are the best part of the team’s job!
Cat Care Professionals
HSW Cat Care Professionals are responsible for daily care of the nearly 1000 cats that enter the shelter in an average year. They provide each cat with a clean and safe environment while they await their forever homes. In addition to providing food, clean litter boxes and cozy beds, the team insures every cat has toys to play with and an important daily dose of love. The Cat Care Professionals work steadily to help our feline residents feel comfortable in a shelter environment so they can show their true personalities to potential adopters. All cat people in this world know that dedication and a lot of love are needed to get this job done right!
Adoption Team
The HSW Adoption Team’s job goes far beyond shelter pet adoptions; they field phone calls from frantic owners of lost pets, calls from tearful owners needing to surrender pets, and urgent calls of animals needing rescue from our 19 service areas. This team never sits for long and often can be found in the HSW rescue van racing to help an animal in need, assisting in the medical care of a new arrival or simply helping someone bring in donations from their car. When not urgently running around, the Adoption Team spends an extraordinary amount of time helping adopters find the pet of their dreams at the shelter. They are the face of the Humane Society of Westchester to the public and we couldn’t be more proud of their many talents!
