Spotlight on Broome County Humane Society
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Tioga County Chamber of Commerce is shining its spotlight on the non-profit, the Broome County Humane Society. The Humane Society on Conklin Avenue in Binghamton, cares for over 150 animals at any given time, with the goal of someone adopting them into their forever home. The facility offers several services to the community, including a spay-neuter clinic every Thursday and two Mondays each month, grooming, vaccinations, boarding and more. The fundraising coordinator, Kim Broderick, says they could always use more volunteers, especially with kitten season right around the corner. 'Those types of needs are going to be great. Whether it's the kitten replacement milk, the kitten food, puppy food, there's always a need. Blankets, towels so, we're gearing up because we're really starting to get busy,' said Broderick. Broderick says last year, the Humane Society donated around 1,500 pounds of pet food to people in the community. The non-profit is running its Petals for Paws hanging basket fundraiser, where you can purchase flowers and plants to raise money through May 15.

Long-Stay Pet Program helps pets find forever home
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Broome County Humane Society is a part of a new program where animals can transfer between different shelters across the state until they're adopted. The BISSELL Pet Foundation launched its new Long-Stay Pet program. Dogs and cats that have been waiting adoption for more than 30 days will get added to BISSELL's online platform. Other shelters can see which animals are available on the platform and ask to have them transferred to their facility. The shelter manager at the Humane Society, Amberly Ondria, says sometimes, just showing the pets to a new audience is all it takes for them to find their forever home. 'See if they would like to trade dogs. Or even, if they don't want to trade, maybe they have an adopter who's looking for a border collie, and they don't have one in their area. But a humane society in Rochester may have it. They can pull that dog from that shelter, bring it to their facility, and pursue an adoption with somebody who may be looking for that animal,' said Ondria. Ondria says all across the country, shelters are struggling with increased capacity. The Humane Society says from 2023 to 2024, dog adoptions have declined by 1%. Community members are encouraged to visit their local shelters regularly, as new pets will continually be transferred in.
