Hudson Valley Humane Law Enforcement

What Hudson Valley Humane Law Enforcement does

Hudson Valley Humane Society (HVHS), also doing business as Hudson Valley Humane Law Enforcement, is a private non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation founded in 1891 and headquartered at 200 Quaker Road, Pomona, New York, in Rockland County. It operates as a no-kill, full-service animal welfare organization providing humane law enforcement (via NY State certified Peace Officers with authority under Article 26 of NYS Agriculture & Markets Law), animal rescue, shelter, and adoption services, low-cost spay/neuter programs for felines, a Pet Food Pantry serving over 230 cats and dogs per month, boarding services, lost-and-found pet listings, thrift store retail, and community education programs. The organization has placed over 750 animals through adoption and runs an in-store feline and small animal adoption center at PetSmart in Nanuet.

The organization's business model is donation- and service-fee based, with zero government or tax-base funding and a 100% volunteer staffing model. Revenue streams include tax-deductible individual contributions, adoption fees, boarding service fees, $70 feline spay/neuter packages delivered via a mobile T.A.R.A., Inc. clinic, $30 microchip clinic fees, and weekend thrift store sales with proceeds earmarked for veterinary care. Disclosed veterinary costs alone exceed $250,000 annually, a figure the organization states its fundraising efforts have not yet fully closed.

Infrastructure is regionally concentrated at the Pomona headquarters and a single offsite adoption partnership at PetSmart Nanuet. The organization is currently constructing a new, state-of-the-art Adoption Center (with a $75,000 building fund at roughly one-third funded) and has announced plans to extend low-cost spay/neuter services to canines. No proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability is disclosed; operations are supported by a website, Facebook presence, email newsletter, and event-driven community engagement.
