About this shelter

Humane Society of Wayne County in Lyons, NY

The Humane Society of Wayne County is located in Lyons, New York, about 30 miles west of Rochester, and operates as a humane society under NYS registration #163. Established in 1983 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit in 1984, its mission is to provide a humane facility to shelter, feed and care for lost, unwanted and abused animals of Wayne County while promoting humane education; the centralized animal shelter itself opened in 1990 following a 1987 capital campaign. The shelter cares for dogs and cats of all ages, runs a Spay Neuter Incentive Fund (SNIF) with area veterinarians, an Adult Companion Program matching pets age 3+ with adopters 50 and older, and a lost-and-found service, and it relies solely on memberships, fees, donations and fundraisers to operate. It is open Monday and Sunday from 12:00–3:35 PM, Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 AM–4:30 PM, and Saturday from 10:00 AM–4:00 PM.
