Humane Society of Yates County
News
The Shelter of Hope is the first ever in Yates County. We will offer a wide
variety of services to the public, such as, grooming services, caring
grief counselors to help you deal with a decision about your pet's quality
of life or loss of a pet. We also offer our Community Education room to
various clubs and youth groups to hold meetings and learn about the proper
care of animals. Our shelter is a very bright and cheerful place to visit.
There is so much to see at our shelter. You can watch our
cats have fun in their Cat Garden or in the Cat Solarium, where they get
lots of sunlight and fresh air! We need lots of volunteers to play with our cats
and dogs. We are able to stay open only with the generosity of private
donations. So won't you help the animals in Yates County and donate to
The Shelter of Hope! We thank you and so do the animals.
Who We Are
We are a group of volunteers and a staff of 3 who are dedicated to helping
the animals of Yates County find quality homes. No animal will be destroyed
due to the lack of a quality home. We try to put the animals in foster care homes to be socialized and generally to see how they will adjust, but we still need lots of people who are willing to be "Foster Parents". If you would like to find out more about fostering a shelter pet please contact Kim Gridley, Shelter of Hope Manager at 315-536-6094, or by email at shelterofhope@hsyc.org. With your help we can make Yates County a safe county for the animals.
Adopting a Friend
You can adopt one of our animals by calling the Humane Society of Yates
County at 315-536-6094. All our animals will be spayed or neutered,
vaccinated and tested for feline leukemia or heartworm. They will have
current rabies and distemper shots and follow up booster shots. They will
also be wormed and have flea control.
Volunteering and Donations
The Humane Society can always use volunteers to help with the care and day
to day operations of the shelter and to become foster parents. There are
always jobs to be done that don't involve working with animals, such as,
lawn mowing and gardening, reception work. We are always in need of
maintenance work as well. All hours are available. If you can help please
Call 315-536-6094. It is the most rewarding feeling in the world to know
that you have helped save an animal!
