Founded in 2000
Our Mission:
The Oswego County Humane Society provides programs and services that preserve and strengthen the bond between people and animals.
We Offer:
- Spay/Neuter Programs and Services
- Every pet we adopt out is spayed or neutered.
- Our in-house clinic offers low-cost spay/neuter for cats in low income households in Oswego County. Dogs in our program are spayed/neutered at local veterinarians.
- Animal Services
- We maintain a network of foster families who care for and socialize homeless animals until they are adopted into approved homes.
- We provide donated pet food and cat litter to families in financial difficulties who are unable to fully provide for their pets.
- We provide temporary assistance to families with large companion animals, such as horses, by providing necessary food or other care to enable them to keep their pets during a financial crisis.
- Community Education
- We publish a weekly Porky & Buddy column in local newspapers addressing animal welfare and pet care topics.
- We publish 3 to 4 newsletters each year with animal welfare and animal care articles and news about the Oswego County Humane Society.
- We provide public presentations for area schools and youth groups promoting proper pet care and dog bite prevention.
- We work with individual pet owners to educate about and enhance human/animal relationships, with a goal of preventing surrenders of pets.
- We answer hundreds of phone calls every year with questions about animal-related services, programs and resources.
