The Brutus Fund
In 1999, a Rottweiler named Brutus was brought in to the shelter with very bad dysplasia at the age of 1 year. Through all the tests, his disposition remained sweet & lovable. The local newspaper did a story because the shelter could not afford to treat him, yet didn't have the heart to put him to sleep. Thanks to that newspaper, the response from people was overwhelming and the Brutus Fund was formed. The fund has been used for all adoptable animals with various medical problems. Now, due to an overwhelming amount of sick animals, the Brutus Fund is in trouble. We have had 4 dogs with heartworm, 2 with Lyme's disease, 2 with Parvo, cats with URI and various other ailments
We need good people to contribute to the Brutus Fund to continue to treat the animals others no longer care for. Please give so the animals might live. Mail your contribution to HSW - Brutus Fund - POB 135, Walden, NY 12586
The Humane Society of Walden is always in need of dog bones and treats, canned and dry dog and cat and kitty litter. Donations gladly accepted. Stop by the shelter any day between 1 and 4 pm or call 845-778-5115.
PRIVATE CREMATIONS

The Palace is a furnished room with plenty of nooks and crannies which provide lots of entertainment for these adoptable cats. They also have access to the outside in a completely enclosed pen with many lofty perches.
