In 1984 the Humane Society was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation. It is a 501(c)(3) organization for tax purposes and donations to it are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
In 1987 a Capital Campaign was launched, with the goal of establishing the first centralized animal shelter in Wayne County. The Humane Society of Wayne County Animal Shelter opened in 1990.

Our Services
Lost and Found
There is nothing worse than realizing your best friend is missing or lost. We maintain a book with listings of lost and found pets in hopes of reunification. Should your pet become lost or missing, please call the Humane Society at 315-946-3389

Adult Companion Program
In an effort to provide pet companionship to older adults, the Humane Society will match up cats and dogs age 3 and older with residents age 50 and older. The Adult Companion program pays the up-front costs associated with obtaining a Shelter companion animal. This program not only gives an older adult the chance to have the companionship of a pet, but also provides a loving home to an older Shelter animal.
PEt Surrender
Humane housing for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens whose owners no longer can care for them.
Finding Pets a Home
Adoption opportunities. Centralized services to help homeless and stray animals find new and loving homes.
Responsible pet ownership instruction. Families are assisted with choosing a pet appropriate to their circumstances; this also helps reduce the number of unwanted pets.
Education
Responsible pet ownership instruction. Families are assisted with choosing a pet appropriate to their circumstances; this also helps reduce the number of unwanted pets.

Spay & Neuter
