Hello everyone, my name is Chester!
I
have just been chosen to be the “Featured Pet”, and I am so excited
to have the spotlight to myself! This is my big chance to finally find my
forever family! I should start by telling you a little about myself. I am
six years old, have been neutered, and have all my shots. I am a mix of a
couple breeds, my guess is I am mostly Beagle. I am a big boy at about 50
pounds. I am very laid back and mellow, walk well on a leash, and just love
other dogs and people of all sizes. I love to run and play, and I am house
broken.
I
am starting to lose hope that I will find my family. I have been here at
the Shelter since April, and I don’t understand why nobody wants me. I
promise I will be a good dog, if you will just give me a chance! Please
come to the Shelter and see me. I will keep hoping that this will be my
lucky month, and I will finally go home!
I
hope to see you really, really, really soon!!
Sincerely,
Chester

Hey, do I look happy,
or what !!
Its Spring again;
I can tell because one of my favorite things to do outdoors is to
jump and snap bugs out of the air. It’s not the same when its
snowflakes.
My name is Lotsa,
and I am from the Shelters Class of 2004. I was born July 4 at the
Shelter, along with my 8 brothers and sisters.
Being part border
collie, I have a nice warm coat, and my least favorite season is
summer. But I do love being outdoors, chasing the Frisbee, taking
walks, and just keeping an eye on everything going on around my
yard. I like riding in the car and truck, and DO NOT like being left
at home by myself. I have a very comfortable crate, but I’m well
behaved and know my parents take me with them whenever they can. My
parents have learned my likes and dislikes really well, so life is
GOOD.
I’m not the
greatest “social animal” you will ever meet; I’m in a one dog
family, and that’s the way I like it. My Dad helps out with things
going on at the Shelter; it’s a good thing he does, or I never would
have met him. It must be really hard to see people come and go at
the Shelter, but the dogs and cats there at least have a good chance
of being adopted. The staff spends all their time cleaning and
feeding, and looking for good homes for them.
My Dad told me to
mention that if you are looking for a new member of your family,
four legged, to please consider adopting from the Humane Society of
Yates County, or any county for that matter. It’s so much more
rewarding than buying one from a private breeder or store. The
animals at Shelters didn’t choose to be there, and deserve a second
chance. Most shelters have an area to visit with the animal you are
thinking about adopting, and the staff knows a lot about the animal
from the time they have spent at the shelter. Try very hard not to
take one home, and then find out it’s not the right one for your
family or your home environment.
Well, its time for
one of my daily walks. Stop in and visit the animals in your town’s
shelter. Take someone home with you if at all possible. It will make
their day and yours, and many more in the future, too.

The
Shelter of Hope is the first ever in Yates County. We will offer a wide variety
of services to the public, such as a crematory to help you
deal with the loss of a pet. We also offer our Community Education room to
various clubs and youth groups to hold meetings and learn about the proper care
of animals. Our shelter is a very bright and cheerful place to visit. You will
be welcomed at the door by one of our official greeter cats. There is
so much to see at our shelter. You can watch our cats have fun in their Cat
Garden or in the Cat Solarium, where they get lots of sunlight and fresh air! We
need lots of volunteers to play with our cats and dogs. We are able to stay open
only with the generosity of private donations. So won't you help the animals in
Yates County and donate to The Shelter of Hope! We thank you and so do the
animals.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - We are in
desperate need of adult volunteers. If you think that you can help in
any way, PLEASE contact Bonnie Brewer @ (315) 536-6094.
Who We Are
We are a group of volunteers
and a staff of 3 who are dedicated to helping the animals of Yates County find
quality homes. No animal will be destroyed due to the lack of a quality home. We
try to put the animals in foster care homes to be socialized and generally to
see how they will adjust, but we still need lots of people who are willing to be
"Foster Parents". If you would like to find out more about fostering a shelter
pet please contact Bonnie Brewer, Shelter of Hope Manager at 315-536-6094, or by
email at
hsycmanager@yateshumane.org. With your help we can make Yates County a safe
county for the animals.

Our Mission
The mission

promote the adoption of stray or unwanted animals, which reduce cruelty to dogs
and cats, and which reduce the over breeding of domestic animals. The Humane
Society of Yates County depends on volunteer and private financial assistance
from the residents of Yates County to carry out its program.
To carry out our mission, the
Shelter of Hope
has been established.
