Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, has been caring for the animals of Greater Rochester since 1873. It is committed to building lifelong bonds between people and animals through education, community outreach programs and the prevention of cruelty. Over 115 staff members and over 800 volunteers enable Lollypop Farm to care for and adopt homeless animals and to provide a number of outreach programs that benefit the people and pets in the community. Lollypop Farm is an independent non-profit organization that relies entirely on support from the community to continue its vital and lifesaving services—it is not affiliated with any other humane organization and does not receive any government support.
