Hornell Animal Shelter

Animal Abuse HURTS! If you witness abuse call us at 607-324-1270, or Officer Scott Mazzo at 607-776-4682

There are few joys greater than responsible pet ownership, and we make it easy to adopt a great pet! Have a look at some of our lovable friends waiting for a good home>>

Cheddar

My name is Cheddar and I came to the shelter as a stray in December 2009, along with my 2 other siblings (who have since been adopted). I am an 8 month old male. When I first came in, I was very timid. I didn't want anyone anywhere near me. I would hiss and swat if someone got too close. But after quite a bit of socialization, I came around pretty fast! Now I love to be held and I love to cuddle. I am at my happiest when I'm in someone's arms. Please just give me a chance and I will be sure to please.

Our next volunteer orientation will be on:

*Tuesday, March 9th at 5:30 at the shelter

We ask that all new volunteers go through a volunteer orientation. This will allow you to become more familiar with our shelter and the rules as well as all the different things you can do to volunteer. This also includes a tour of the building and meeting all the wonderful animals. The orientation normally last for about 45 minutes.

Contact Katrina, Director of Special Programs and Education at hahs1@yahoo.com or call 607-324-1270 if interested in volunteering. Dog walkers and kennel cleaners always needed.

All dogs are probably descended from an animal called Tomarctus. This animal lived approximately 15 million years ago.

Stone-aged people tamed dogs to help them track game. About eight thousand years ago, ancient Egyptians raised Saluki hunting dogs. Saluki is an arabic word meaning noble one. These dogs are probably the oldest known breed.
