The dogs here don't ask for much...a warm bed, friends to rely on and a second chance. Become a friend and visit www.DogsRuleGear.com to participate in the "Pedigree" Buy a Bag program. For every bag you donate, Pedigree will match the donation. All our shelter dogs thank you for remembering them!


Donate a Bed

Our cats love to sleep on Kuranda Cat beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for another animal to sleep in comfort, please click here.

Please Adopt a Shelter Animal!

There are plenty of cats and dogs waiting at the shelter for you. All long-term (at the shelter more than 6 months) cats and dogs have been reduced. In addition, some cats and dogs have been sponsored. The shelter staff will let you know which animals have been discounted.


Please help the cats and dogs

If you are not able to adopt, there are many other ways to support the work of the Humane Society of Rome - become a member, sponsor an animal, make a donation, become a foster, volunteer your time, or donate an item from our wish list. Every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated!


Our Adoption Process


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.
