The Humane Society Of Rochester And Monroe County for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. was founded in 1873. Since the 1950's the Society has been known as Lollypop Farm, its name coming from the then popular Shirley Temple song - On the Good Ship Lollipop. The Humane Society at Lollypop Farm recently adopted the following vision statement: "We envision a time when our community celebrates the human-animal bond; embraces the mutual benefits therein; and treats all fellow beings with care, compassion and respect." Its mission of building lifelong bonds between people and animals through education, community outreach programs and the prevention of cruelty will ultimately lead to achieving its vision.
