UTICA, N.Y. – The Stevens-Swan Humane Society has been renamed in honor of a Utica animal advocate whose donations helped keep the shelter afloat.
When the shelter was suffering financially, Anita Vitullo donated $2 million to start a fund for SSHA through The Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties. After the generous gift, the SSHA board of directors approved a resolution to rename the organization Anita’s Stevens-Swan Humane Society.

Meet Jay. This 9-month-old pup came in as stray to the Stevens-Swan Humane Society in Utica and now he’s looking for his new forever home. He is a really happy, friendly guy who loves people. He does well with other dogs and cats. He does still have that puppy energy and he loves to play.
Jay is neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $120.
Since the shelter is currently closed for viewing, an appointment to meet him will be set up once an online application is approved at stevens-swan.org.
