You may designate through your will or estate plan that your pets be entrusted to the care of family, friends, or Mohawk Hudson Humane Society.
Naming Mohawk Hudson Humane Society as a beneficiary of one of your assets, such as your retirement plan, IRA or life insurance policy, is a convenient way to support our mission. It only takes a few minutes and a simple form.
