The New Rochelle High School’s PAW Club held its 3rd annual benefit concert on Saturday, January 23rd. Approximately 170 attendees enjoyed entertainment from 6 bands from the school. Food was sold by the students and 22 baskets of merchandise from local stores were auctioned off. This concert raised more than $1,200 for the homeless animals at the New Rochelle Humane Society. We wish to thank the boys and girls of the PAW Club, their president, Daria and their faculty advisor, Julia for all of their hard work in putting this event together and for their generous donation.

Students from the Osborn School in Rye recently paid a visit to the New Rochelle Humane Society. This group of 21 youngsters designed a flier asking for donations for the animals at our shelter and collected items such as toys, treats, food, beds, blankets, paper towels and cleaning supplies from several classes in the school. They also purchased an engraved brick for the path of our dog park as a Christmas gift for their teacher last month! They were a delightful group who we very much enjoyed having!
The New Rochelle Humane Society hosted a birthday party for an 8 year old girl, complete with pizza, birthday cake and gift bags supplied by her parents. Her 25 friends learned about the shelter, visited our cat rooms and dog kennel and enjoyed time with 2 dogs and a kitten. The birthday girl’s invitation to her friends said that she did not want gifts for herself, but for the shelter animals instead. Toys, blankets, treats and beds were among the many gifts we received. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time.
Students from the Isaac Young Middle School in New Rochelle recently paid us a visit! They held a “Cutest Pet Contest” at their school and the proceeds were donated to our shelter! These children, who are all on the Student Council, are planning other fund raising events to benefit the homeless pets at the New Rochelle Humane Society. Thanks, kids!
Nolan raised $35. and purchased food and supplies for the shelter cats and dogs! He and his family adopted from the New Rochelle Humane Society several years ago.
Thank you, Nolan!
The New Rochelle Humane Society hosted its very first birthday party! Emily, who was celebrating her 8th birthday, explained to friends that she did not want gifts, but rather donations of items for the homeless animals at our shelter instead. All enjoyed playing with one of the shelter dogs and taking a tour through our cat rooms and kennel before going back to Emily’s home for dinner and birthday cake. Happy Birthday, Emily!
These members of Larchmont’s Brownie Troop raised $120 dollars for our shelter with a bake sale! They also made socks stuffed with catnip and pipe cleaner spiders for the homeless cats at our shelter. These items were much enjoyed! Thank you!
Thirty-one youngsters from the Resurrection School in Rye paid a visit to our shelter and brought lots of nice things for the animals in our care!
