The Chautauqua County Humane Society is launching two new membership programs.

Adults and families can now join the Paws & Hearts Annual Membership Program, while kids and teens under 18 can become part of the new Pet Pals Membership.

Paws & Hearts offers tiered membership levels that provide benefits including behind‒the‒scenes access, special recognition and invitations to unique Chautauqua County Humane Society events. As part of the inaugural launch, the first 50 individuals who join at the Guardian level ($150) or higher will receive an exclusive invitation, along with a guest, to the first‒ever Double Dog Dare: Cats Don’t Care interactive game show on Saturday, Aug. 15, at the Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union Training Center in Lakewood.

Families who join will be entered into drawings for one of three special Humane Society experiences for up to 16 people: a birthday party, a private movie night, or a behind‒the‒scenes tour.

For younger supporters, the Pet Pals Membership offers a hands‒on way to learn about animal care, participate in youth‒focused events, and take part in creative service projects that help shelter pets thrive.

“These programs are about building a community of compassion,” said Jane Babinsky, Chautauqua County Humane Society executive director. “Whether you’re a child learning how to care for animals or an adult looking to make a deeper impact, there’s now a place for everyone to be part of our mission.”

Memberships are available now. All membership support directly pays for medical care, enrichment and adoption services for animals across the community.
