Promoting humane attitudes towards people, animals and the environment.
The Mohawk Hudson Humane Society is pleased to offer humane education programs for people of all ages. Whether it be on- or off-site, we are committed to offering our services to the public.
On-Site Programs
The Mohawk Hudson Humane Society is dedicated to educating the public about its role in animal welfare in our community and suggesting ways you and your group can help homeless, neglected and abused animals of the Capital Region. Note: the Humane Society is not a peanut-free facility.
Shelter tours may be requested by emailing humaneeducation@mohawkhumane.org >>. Tours are available for youth and adult groups. Availability is typically between Sunday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. The maximum tour group size is 20.
MHHS is happy to include a tailored age-appropriate presentation with a tour. We will work to create an experience that best fits your group's needs, such as meeting requirements for a Scout badge. The tour and presentation will be between 90 minutes and 2 hours. The maximum group size is 20.
Prices for onsite youth programs begin at $50 per group. Examples of programs are below and we are open to adapting them to fit your group's needs.

MHHS is excited to offer educational programs once a month to the public. These talks are open to all ages, but are focused on adults. Check back regularly for updates.
Telling Tails is a volunteer program for children ages 5-17. Participants can sign up to come read to the adoptable animals at MHHS on Wednesdays and Sundays between 3:00-5:00 pm. Reading to animals can boost the confidence of children, provide enrichment for the pet and help pets become more comfortable around people.
