Humane Society of Yates County

We are asking friends of animals to please help us save your local animal shelter. As many of you may not be aware of, we are not associated in any way with the State, County or Village, nor do we receive help from the Humane Society of the United States. That means that we receive no funds to help with repairs, for upkeep of the buildings or the care of the animals. Any money we receive comes from you, in the way of donations. The money that you send in is all that keeps us going, and because the past couple of years have been so lean, donation wise, we are in desperate times. The only income we have at present, and have always had, is the adoption of dogs and cats, but that does not generate enough funds to pay for all the needs of the buildings and the animals.

We do have a crematorium on the property now, (which we have under lease), that eventually will start bringing in much needed funds for the Humane Society, but that is a ways down the road. The crematorium offers an opportunity to fill a void for local vets as well as individuals, to provide a vital service to the County and surrounding areas. Until such time, we are still depending on you to help support us. (We will always need your donations, to help us exist.) Without your support, we may have to close. The Humane Society of Yates County has been in existence since 1908, though not in operation all those years. It has been in operation since 2001. The building is still in desperate need of repair; i.e. the shelter needs a new roof, as this one leaks very badly, a new or upgraded heating system that works, repairs to the foundation of the building and cages for the dogs. We don’t have the money for any of the repairs.
