The Flood of 2011 forced the Humane Society to evacuate our 2 Jackson Street Binghamton shelter and temporarily suspend operations. All the animals have been relocated and are safe. We are now working on the first phase of the recovery plan in an effort to return to full operations as soon as possible.
We are aware the shelter sustained damage and have received preliminary reports of 4 feet of water in the building. The extent of the damage cannot be assessed until we are able to return to the building.
When we evacuated we were unable to take food or supplies and are in need of the following:
Pedigree adult complete nutrition dog food
Canned dog food
Purina kitten chow
Purina cat chow
Canned cat food
Cat litter
Paper towels
Hand sanitizer
Laundry Soap
Dish Soap
Large heavy duty garbage bags
Towels and blankets
Monetary donations are also needed.
All supplies can be taken to 1946 NYS Rt.12, in the town of Chenango (Next to Allen Veterinary Hospital) where we are temporarily housing the animals. Allen Veterinary Hospital is assisting us with housing some of our animals which is allowing us to provide a more comfortable environment for all of them. We are grateful beyond words!
If you have any questions, please send an email to bhumanesoc@aol.com. We will respond as quickly as we can.
The Humane Society would like to thank everyone for their concern and generosity while we, likemuch of our community, rebound from this event.
Thank you.

Executive Director
In Spencer, NY, Wildrun will accept donations to take this upcoming Thursday when I finally make a run to Schoharie to drop off their donations. I'll go by way of Chenango.

That's where Max came from. When I go shopping next, I'll take donations over. I have more cat blankets to give, and they can probably use them.
They probably would LOVE the cat blankets. A friend via Facebook told me lots of people were coming in with donations. They probably will need help cleaning at the shelter down the road. I wish I had more time in the day...
