Springfield Humane Society

The non-profit, no-kill Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society is devoted to the care and adoption of adoptable animals as well as strengthening the ties between people and animals via education.

Our goal is to assist as many wolfdogs as we can while bringing attention to the challenges of ownership through partnerships with other sanctuaries and rescues across the country and overseas organizations.

Through adoption, instruction, advocacy, compassion, and the promotion of animal welfare, it is our purpose to ensure the security and welfare of animals and to improve the bond between people and their pets.

Our families reside at Brown Dog Farm together with a few unique creatures. Some animals visit the farm for a little period of time to unwind as they wait for their forever homes. Some animals require a safe haven for the duration of their lives.

RCHS is committed to supporting and working toward a law-abiding, compassionate community. We offer homeless pets a place to stay and opportunities for adoption, and we promote animal care through neighborhood initiatives that benefit both people and animals.

The Second Chance Animal Center, formerly known as the Bennington County Humane Society, was founded in 1959 and is a private, limited-admission, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that caters to the needs of both pet owners and homeless animals in our neighborhood. All towns in Bennington County (Vermont), portions of Washington and Rensselaer Counties in New York State, and northern Berkshire County in Massachusetts are included in our service area.
