Celebrate 150 Years of MHS!
In honor of our 150th anniversary, we’re excited to share our journey with you! For a century and a half, Monadnock Humane Society has been dedicated to improving the lives of animals in our community. To celebrate, we’ve created a special timeline showcasing key moments in MHS history. Take a look back with us and see how your support has helped shape MHS into what it is today. Here’s to the next 150 years of saving lives and building a compassionate future!
A Dedication to Service
What if every homeless animal was free from cruelty, safe from harm, and received specialized care, training and behavioral support? What if every animal had a loving family and resources to thrive? Monadnock Humane Society’s programs and services are designed to do all of this and more, always with our mission at the heart of what we do—to strengthen the animal-human bond by promoting and providing for the well-being of animals.
