Programs: As an open-admission animal shelter, lollypop farm accepts every animal who is brought to our facility; no animal is denied admission for any reason. Last year, over 8,400 animals from dogs and cats to rabbits, birds, horses, goats, pigs and more were surrendered or admitted to our shelter. While these animals are with us, our staff and volunteers strive to provide the highest quality care and enrichment. Our modern facility and meticulous standard operating procedures ensure cleanliness and minimize the spread of illness. Additionally, we provide high-quality food to all animals, while daily enrichment and training helps keep them mentally fit while in our care. To find permanent, loving homes for these pets, lollypop farm strives to provide an adoption experience that considers important details for finding the right fit for each adopter, such as a person's home, interests and lifestle. We then match those with an animal's social, exercise, and training needs. Our adoption counselors will work with prospective families to ensure happy, successful adoptions that last a lifetime.
our veterinary clinic evaluates and vaccinates all animals surrendered by their owners, seized from cruel or neglectful conditions or transferred from other animal welfare agencies. This important work is performed by a staff of three veterinarians, six veterinary technicians, and four veterinary assistants. Beyond basic care, animals are treated for common conditions and rare ones as well including skin problems, eye injuries, digestive issues, and lameness. Lollypop farm continues to combat pet overpopulation by spaying and neutering all dogs, cats and rabbits before adoption.
programs at lollypop farm help to address the issues in our community that contribute to pet overpopulation and the surrender of unwanted animals. Annually, lollypop farm reaches over 150,000 people in the community. S. N. I. P. (spay neuter incentive program) provides spay and neuter surgery for dogs and cats of income-qualified pet owners in our veterinary clinic. The low-cost service for applicants enables affordable access to veterinary services, and encourages responsible pet ownership. The service also reduces the number of litters surrendered to the shelter. Through our pet assisted therapy (pat) program, volunteers and their trained therapy animals visit facilities around greater rochester. These registered volunteer teams brighten the days of residents of nursing homes, hospitals, children's centers, mental health facilities, and facilities that serve individuals with disabilities. In recognition of the integral role pets play in many of our lives, lollypop farm offers a pet loss support group monthly for those grieving the loss of a beloved pet. The seniors-for-seniors program enables adopters sixty years of age or older to adopt dogs and cats six years of age or older by waiving the adoption fee. Lollypop farm is a proud partner in the pets for patriots program. This program is available to veterans, wounded warriors, and service members of all armed forces. To join, an individual must apply through pets for patriots at www. Petsforpatriots. Org. Once an individual is approved, they receive a membership id and may adopt a qualifying animal at lollypop farm for half the cost of the adoption fee. Lollypop farm's foster care program allows us to save pets who are more easily cared for in a home environment, including animals recovering from illness or injury, orphaned kittens and puppies, and cats and dogs with litters. Lollypop farm offers humane education for people of all ages, teaching people about respect, responsibility and compassion for pets and all living things through tours, scout badge programs, and school break and summer camps. Pet peeves, a completely free service for pet owners, offers advice and support to callers dealing with dog or cat behavior issues. The tips we provide for simple and more complicated pet problems help animals and their humans stay together. During puppy, basic, advanced, and agility classes, dog owners and their pets work together to become better partners. Training classes offer people and their pets a wonderful opportunity to improve their communication skills and prevent future behavior problems through positive, relationship-based methods. As one of the few humane societies nationwide that admits and adopts farm animals, lollypop farm is in a fortunate position to offer these animals a safe, caring environment while they await new homes, while also providing a unique experience to visitors. Each year, over 150,000 families take advantage of the farm yard petting area and walk which offers educational displays to help people of all ages learn more about the many different farm animals we care for: horses, cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, emu and fowl.
