Our team reviews your registration so that when you arrive — at our center or at an event — we're ready to make the most of your visit.
Visit us during open hours or at a weekend event. An adoption counselor will introduce you to animals that fit what you're looking for. Most go home the same day.
Submitting a form expresses your interest — it does not place a hold on any animal or guarantee adoption. Adoptions are first-come, first-served.
If the animal you had in mind has already been adopted, your approval applies to any animal that's still available — your perfect match may still be waiting.
A registration on file is required to meet animals currently in foster homes. Walk-ins at our center can register on the spot for animals on-site.
No appointment needed. Visit us Tue–Fri 12–7 PM or Sundays 11 AM–2 PM at 550 Route 22, Pawling, NY. Check the events calendar for weekend locations.
Most of our animals are ready to go home the same day you meet them — so come ready to fall in love.
Adopting is a lifelong commitment. Please consider the financial, time, and lifestyle obligations — and factor your new pet into any major future life changes.
Browse our available dogs and cats online, check the adoption process, or come see them in person. No pressure — we just want to find the right fit.
