About Us

We are a new 501c3 serving the animals in Cattaraugus County and beyond. With the massive increase in dogs being abandoned on the side of roads and in the woods, we must step up and do our part. We do not pull animals from out of the state and are focused on animals in our backyards that are not being taken care of. Your support will help us save the lives of dogs, cats, birds, and more. Please consider donating so that we can continue our life-saving work. Our entire board is volunteer and receives no compensation. What you donate goes to help the animals currently in our care and the ones yet to come.

Our Mission

Our mission is to better the lives of animals, through initiatives that include prevention, education, healthcare, and justice. As well as serving as a location to house animals while looking for a permanent home for them.

Our Impact: By the Numbers

At Phoenix Humane Society of Greater Cattaraugus, our commitment to animal welfare is reflected in our data. We believe in transparency and accountability, which is why we're proud to share our intake and outcome statistics with you. These numbers tell the story of the lives we've touched, the challenges we've overcome, and the progress we continue to make in our mission to provide every animal with the care and compassion they deserve.
