About Us
Saving Little Lives
Tri-Lakes Humane Society has been saving little lives in the Adirondacks since 1942. We are a no-kill shelter. Our mission is to advocate for the humane treatment of animals and provide care and shelter for the animals who need us most. Many of these animals have been abandoned, found as strays, or are otherwise homeless and unwanted. We work to match animals with loving homes, reunite lost pets with their owners, and educate the public about humane animal care, animal laws, and spaying/neutering pets to reduce overpopulation.
We cover a large geographic area in the Adirondacks, including four counties: Franklin, Essex, Clinton, and Hamilton. Under contract with local towns & villages, we provide shelter & dog control services for communities in our area.
