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, a crematory to help you deal with the 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. You will be welcomed at the door by one of our official greeter cats. 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.
 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - We are in desperate need of adult volunteers.  If you think that you can help in any way, PLEASE contact Kim Gridley @ (315) 536-6094.

 

Who We Are

We are a group of volunteers and a staff of 4 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.

Our Mission

The mission of the Humane Society of Yates County is to advance the humane treatment of animals in Yates County, New York. This is accomplished through actions which promote the adoption of stray or unwanted animals, which reduce cruelty to dogs and cats, and which reduce the over breeding of domestic animals. The Humane Society of Yates County depends on volunteer and private financial assistance from the residents of Yates County to carry out its program.   To carry out our mission, the Shelter of Hope has been established.
