You can help pets in need as a volunteer at the Humane Society of Rome, New York! As a volunteer, you become part of a team committed to providing loving, quality care to pets in need, while also making the community a better place for our pets and their people. Together, we can make a big difference for the animals!

All volunteers must complete the ‘Fear Free’ training program and receive their completion certificate prior to applying. This training is free and is located here: Fear Free Shelter Program | Reduce Stress in Shelter Pets. We do not provide this training at Humane Society of Rome.

If you are interested in getting involved, please fill out the volunteer form below. We would love to talk with you more about how you can make a difference in the lives of the animals!
