Additional adoption info
We sincerely hope that we can be of service to you. Anyone interested in adopting a cat or dog must first fill out a screening application.
Our application is designed to help us determine if the adoption is in yours and the animal’s best interest and to place our animals into permanent responsible homes. We want to assist you in finding the pet most compatible with your lifestyle. Because the animal’s welfare must be our foremost consideration, HSR reserves the right to deny any adoption. Staff will review your application to ensure that the animal is going to a good home and that it is also the "right" animal for you. We want each adoption to be a good match. If for whatever reason it doesn't work out, please bring the animals back to us.

About Humane Society of Rome
Hi, thanks for stopping by! We are a non-profit shelter located in Rome, New York. We have been serving the needs of the Mohawk Valley and surrounding CNY communities since 1956. We provide shelter, food, care and medical attention if needed for cats and dogs on a year round basis. A goal of our shelter is to find every cat and dog that comes to us a good home. We work very hard to achieve that goal. We have had some of our animals with us for over a year before we finally found them a family. All of the animals that leave our shelter are spayed/neutered, up to date on their shots, wormed, treated for fleas, and microchipped.
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 or organization would like to schedule an appointment, please call 315-336-7070. Our shelter offers a Sponsorship Program for people who may not be able to adopt but are interested in helping our animals. You can always ask for our "Wish List" also and donate items from that for the animals. All donations are greatly appreciated and really help us to continue our work on a year round basis. Our volunteers (we are always looking for new ones) work closely with staff in a number of areas. Some volunteers act as Foster Parents for those animals that need special attention or some extra TLC. The Humane Society of Rome welcomes all inquiries and visitors. Please come visit our furry friends or call us if you have questions. We look forward to serving you. Thanks.

Find a pet to adopt
Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Rome, NY.
Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
