Ways To Give
Your name, forever
part of this shelter
Every option below places your name — or the name of someone you love — permanently in our new facility. Gifts of any size make a real difference.
The New Facility
When the doors open, every brick, every bench, every name on the Paw Wall will tell the story of the community that made it possible. This isn’t a certificate mailed to your house — it’s a physical piece of a building that will serve animals and families in Rome for generations.
The Humane Society of Rome has served the Mohawk Valley for 40 years. This new facility gives us the space to do even more — modern medical care, dedicated enrichment, and a true community hub.
