~ Rochester Animal Services (RAS) has announced that it will not be accepting surrendered animals starting today through April 28 due to continued overcrowding at the shelter. The decision was made as the shelter is currently operating beyond maximum capacity and lacks the necessary space and resources to accommodate more animals.
According to Dr. Shirley Green, Commissioner of the City Department of Recreation and Human Services, which operates and manages the shelter, this difficult decision is a result of the increasing number of animals in their care and the lack of available space. She stated, "This is a national problem that requires a collective effort from our community. I urge all residents who are able to foster or adopt an animal during this critical time to reach out to the team at RAS to help."
To address the ongoing issue of overcrowding, RAS is calling on residents to step up and help rehome animals by fostering or adopting them. Like many other shelters across the country, RAS is struggling with intake numbers surpassing their ability to find fosters and adopters for these animals.
Residents who are looking to rehome their pets are encouraged to explore online platforms such as Home-to-Home (https://home-home.org/shelter/ras/) and Adopt-a-Pet's Rehome (https://rehome.adoptapet.com/) which facilitate direct home-to-home placement services.

In addition, RAS offers a Pet Food Pantry every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month for pet owners in need of assistance with access to pet food. The pantry is conveniently located near 524 Oak St., in the Rochester Community Sports Complex stadium parking lot with an entrance at 448 Smith St., and can be found in the back corner of the stadium parking lot (https://www.cityofrochester.gov/PetAssistance.aspx).
Rochester Animal Services plays a crucial role in providing care for homeless and abandoned animals in the city. The shelter is dedicated to finding loving homes for these animals and relies on the support and involvement of the community to fulfill its mission.
Mayor Malik D. Evans, who aims to create a safe, equitable, and prosperous Rochester by inspiring hope and delivering opportunity for everyone, has emphasized the importance of community involvement in addressing this issue. He believes that by following the Administration's Mission, Vision, and Values and the principles of the "Rochester 2034" comprehensive plan, City employees can provide exceptional customer service, transparent stewardship, and collaborative leadership to foster a vibrant community that empowers personal, professional, and generational growth for all who live, work or play in Rochester.
