Monadnock Humane Society’s 150th Anniversary Timeline
150 Years of Compassion: A Timeline of Monadnock Humane Society's Impact
A new name: We became Monadnock Region Humane Society. Focus began to shift to animal welfare, rather than simply cruelty prevention. People began to think about the relationship between animals and humans.
New name: We become Monadnock Humane Society! We continue to serve over 40 cities and towns in the Monadnock region and beyond.
MHS initiates STAR (Socialization & Training for Adoption Readiness) Team, teaching shelter dogs manners and reducing their stress at the shelter. The program offers extra human and humane companionship for the shelter animals while guaranteeing better pets for adopters.
MHS moved into the new building. The building features the Learning and Adoption center, which has both individual and communal living spaces for cats and dogs, the Guinane Training Center, a full veterinary clinic, a Boarding & Daycare space, a retail store, walking trails, and more!
MHS opens its in-house veterinary clinic, providing spaying/neutering of all cats and dogs prior to adoption.
