WE ARE A SMALL SHELTER (NO-KILL) WITH MINIMAL FUNDING.  IN THE PAST COUPLE YEARS WE HAVE TAKEN IN SEVERAL ANIMALS FROM OUT OF AREA AT THE REQUEST OF EITHER THE SHERIFF DEPT OR BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD HELP.  EVERY ANIMAL THAT COMES THROUGH OUR DOORS HAS A 2ND (SOMETIMES 3RD) CHANCE AT LIFE.  THIS IS USUALLY EXPENSIVE.  OUR VETERINARY BILLS ARE PRETTY HIGH EVEN WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A DISCOUNT.  WE NEVER EUTHANIZE BECAUSE OF SPACE OR BECAUSE OF HOW LONG A CAT OR DOG HAS BEEN WITH US.  AS LONG AS THEY RESIDE WITH US, THEY ARE FAMILY AS WE DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO GET THEM THE CARE THEY THEY NEED.  SOME NEED MORE THAN OTHERS.   NOEL IS ONE OF OUR RESCUES THAT CAME TO US FROM WALLKILL 1 WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2016.  SADLY HE LOST HIS BATTLE 2/2017.  HE KNEW LOVE BEFORE HE LEFT US.  HE IS A MYSTERY TO US.....I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE LOVED HIM ONE DAY.  WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE KNOWN THIS SWEET SOUL.  ALL MONEY RAISED FOR GOSHEN HUMANE SOCIETY BENEFITS OUR CATS AND DOGS.  WHETHER HELP TO REHABILITATE, TRAIN, GET NECESSARY VETERINARY CARE, SURGERY, EACH AND EVERY ANIMAL THAT COMES THROUGH OUR DOORS IS TREATED EQUALLY AND WE FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE KNOWN.
