How You Can Help
As a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the Humane Society of Rome, receives no government or other agency funds and relies entirely on community support from people like you. Your donation of funds, supplies, or volunteer hours makes a real difference in the lives of pets in need in our community—your support feeds and cares for the animals, educates the public on the importance of proper animal care, and investigates animal cruelty.
Your donation helps us provide quality care and services. Cash, checks, or credit cards are all accepted. All donations are tax deductible.
Make a difference today by volunteering your time to help the cats and dogs of the Mohawk Valley.
Our foster program expands our capacity to save lives by providing pets with temporary, loving homes while they wait for their forever families.

Donate Your Bottles and Cans
Would you like to support the shelter but do not have much free time or extra money? Then how about donating your bottles and cans? Drop them off at Can It Redemption Center 1014 Erie Blvd W, Rome, NY 13440 and ask to have the donation added to the Humane Society of Rome account. This is an easy way to help the animals while also supporting a local business. If you can’t make it to the recycle center, you can drop them off at the shelter.
Buy a Bed
Shelter life can be tough on furniture, which is why we rely on Kuranda® Dog and Cat Beds. Their durable, chew-proof design provides our animals with a clean, comfortable place to sleep that stands up to daily use. Help us outfit our kennels and cat rooms by donating a bed today.
WoofTrax - Walk A Dog Program
The Walk for a Dog program makes it possible to fund raise for your local animal shelter every time you take your dog for a walk.
Don’t just take your dog for a walk. Take your Walk for a Dog every day. Every Walk for a Dog counts, whether it’s a walk around the block or a three-mile hike. The more people actively walking with the greater the donation to HSR.
