The Humane Society

I’m saddened to see someone else had a bad experience with the BCHS. They do such good things sometimes, and other times turn their backs on animals in need. I’ve contacted them about a horrific puppy mill (Marjorie’s Kennel) in Harpursville and asked them it use the powers vested in them by the State of NY, as NYS Peace Officers entrusted with the authority to enforce humane law and save about 50 dogs in need. Their response was so lacking and full of excuses. They try to pass the buck, deny any cruelty, deny they have the authority, etc, etc, etc… I have seen the evidence of cruelty and neglect, it is appalling.
I have donated to the BCHS and participated in their fundraising and now question their activities. Do they arbitrarily pick and choose who to help? Are they politically motivated? Is nepotism at play here? Who knows. What I do know is that they are failing to help about 50 dogs who are in harms way, who’s time may be very limited as the frigid cold winter quickly approaches and the BCHS does nothing!
There are several rescue groups already waiting to take the dogs, Foster homes have already been established, donated funds are in place to vet and care for the dogs. There is no reason to not help them.
Please use your authority to enforce the law, fulfill your mission and do your job. About 60 dogs were removed from this hellish place last year and these are the remaining dodg. These 50 dogs deserve your help and happy, healthy lives. #FreeTheKees from Marjorie’s Kennel puppy mill. If you’d like to know more about the dogs in jeopardy, visit

Horrible! Traumatic experience, wouldn’t go back here for the world! The process of trying to adopt from here is terrible as they do not get back to you in a timely manner. They also keep their misplaced dogs in their own homes while the shelter is being «renovated for flooding» and found out a lot of these homes are very unfriendly. Our almost dog was left in a cold garage in 27 degree weather for two weeks while we waited for no phone call to come.
