The Humane Society of Rome, Inc. is a non-profit animal shelter located in Rome, New York. We have been serving the needs of the Mohawk Valley and communities throughout NYS since 1956. We provide shelter, food, care, lots of TLC and medical attention if needed for cats and dogs on a daily basis for hundreds of homeless cats and dogs.
Although we are a small shelter we manage to do great things, and we thank all of you that support us through your donations or volunteer efforts. We are open to the public everyday except major holidays.
The main goal of our shelter is to find a good home for every cat and dog that comes to us. We have had some of our animals stay with us for over a year before we finally found the right match for them and their new family. If you are interested in adopting one of our animals, you can begin the process by filling out our Adoptions Applications and getting it back to us with your request. Applications can be downloaded at our regular website or picked up at the shelter. We'll work with you to ensure you find the right animal for you. Animals adopted from our shelter must be spayed/neutered and are up to date on their shots. In addition, you will recieve a starter kit and a FREE cat or dog training DVD worth $29! This DVD is endorsed by The U.S. Humane Society. If for some reason your adoption doesn't work out, you can bring the animal back to us.
Besides helping to find good homes for our cats and dogs, we also provide a number of other services. We do Humane Education throughout the community. If your school, organization or group is interested in having us visit please get in touch. Our shelter offers a Sponsorship Program for people who may not be able to adopt but are interested in helping our animals.
Our Volunteers (we are always looking for new ones) work closely with staff in a number of areas. There are lots of ways to get involved. We need people to help us take care of all the beautiful animals, go out into the community and do adoptions, and help with office projects or act as foster parents. If you have an idea, let us know. We welcome all age groups; however, if you are under 16, you need to get permission from an adult before you can become a volunteer. Volunteers are welcome anytime, even if we have not yet opened our doors to the public. Some volunteers start the day they visit us. Come alone, with family, friends or bring a group, class or your troop. If you need to do a school or community service project, or you are looking to help homeless animals, please contact us. You can stop by the shelter or call 315-336-7070 for more information. Thanks for caring. All of us hope to see you soon!
