Lollypop Farm, Humane Society of Greater Rochester

Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, has been helping animals and people since 1873. Support from the community enables over 160 staff members and more than 800 volunteers to care for around 10,000 animals each year and makes possible a variety of programs to address issues that contribute to the surrender of unwanted animals.

Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, has been caring for the animals of Greater Rochester since 1873.  It is committed to building lifelong bonds between people and animals through education, community outreach programs, and the prevention of cruelty. 

Over 100 staff members and over 1,000 volunteers enable Lollypop Farm to provide food and shelter for homeless animals, adoption services, and a number of outreach programs that benefit the people and pets in the community.

Lollypop Farm is an independent non-profit organization that relies entirely on support from the community to continue its vital and lifesaving services—it is not affiliated with any other humane organization and does not receive any government support.

We offer many opportunities for people of all ages to learn about the human-animal bond and proper pet care, and we encourage you to stop by any time when the shelter is open to experience all the Lollypop Farm campus has to offer!
