Tri Lakes Humane Society
11 Mills Avenue
Saranac Lake, NY
The Tri Lakes Humane Society was founded in 1942 by a group of teenagers concerned about the welfare of Saranac Lake's unwanted animals. The first "animal shelter" was a doghouse surrounded by chicken wire. When the young members found unwanted animals that they were able to take in to their homes, they cared for them there until a new home was found. At that time, the shelter was called "Adirondack Animal Welfare Society".
In 1973 an office was rented on Woodruff Street where paperwork was completed, phone calls and messages were recorded, and donations were received.
During that year, the shelter was renamed "Tri Lakes Humane Society" and a motto was created..."We speak for those who cannot." With the help of Henry Uihlein and other generous donations in 1975, an old meat packing plant was purchased and renovated to become a shelter! From then on, hundreds of animals were brought in and adopted out. In 1999, a policy was adopted to become a no-kill facility.
