Vet clinic - the Monroe County Humane Association (mcha) has been dedicated to animalwelfare since 1956, providing accessible veterinary services, animal care resources, and Humane education. As a leading advocate in our community, mcha continuously champions the rights of animals.

General events - throughout the year, mcha not only organizes our prominent fundraisers like tails on the town and run for the animals, but also participates in various other events to generate funding, promote our mission, and inform the community about the services we offer. Volunteers are the lifeblood of an organization like mcha, providing invaluable support in everything from daily operations and event coordination to outreach efforts, all of which are essential in fulfilling our mission of animal welfare and community education.
