Part of our mission here at the Humane Society of Rome is to provide humane education. We strongly believe that education helps reduce incidents of abuse and neglect. If you are interested in having us come visit your classroom or organization, please call 315-337-1434. A member of our staff will come talk to your students or group. We can even bring along one of our furry friends!
Your class or group is also invited to come visit our shelter for a tour. Please call us at 315-337-1434 to schedule a tour. Tours can even be scheduled for weekends or early evening hours. Your class or group may also want to Sponsor an animal. Click on the link below to help a furry friend.
The Humane Society of Rome also has educational materials we can make available to your class or group at no cost. Get on our mailing list so you can keep updated about activities and news.
Humane education is everyone's responsibility. We hope that you will partner with us to make our comminuty a better place for all of us to live.

Internship Program

The Humane Society of Rome is accepting applications for our Interns Program. This could be a great way for you to do something that is fun and helps a good cause. Interested parties must be 16 or older. For those under 16, permission from your parent is required and your parent or an approved adult must accompany you while at the Rome Shelter. This is a wonderful opportunity to get hands on experience and learn how an animal shelter operates. It can also be a way for you to earn credits towards a community, school or scouting project. Groups as well as individual students are welcome. Interns will have the chance to spend up to 20 hours per week helping care for the animals at the shelter. All interns who request it will receive a letter documenting their involvement. Interested parties should either visit or call the Rome Shelter at 336-7070 to sign-up. Our furry friends are waiting for you!
