The Hudson Valley SPCA is proud to be a no-kill shelter! Some of our lucky residents will find new homes within a day or two of coming to us; others might be with us for the rest of their lives. But regardless of the length of their stay, every animal that comes through our doors is given a second chance at a happy life!​

​

At any given time, we provide refuge to more than 50 dogs and 100 cats .  Many were found wandering the streets alone. Some were relinquished by families who could no longer care for them. Several were removed from their homes by our Humane Law Enforcement Officers after an abuse or neglect investigation. No matter of how they came to us, every animal in our care enjoys the benefits of our safe, caring environment until they are matched with a forever home!



 

 

 

All of our animals are fully vetted. This means that each animal we place:

​-  has received a medical exam and any necessary treatments;

-  is up-to-date on all vaccinations; and

-  has been spayed or neutered.

The Adoption Process

 

In order to adopt from the HVSPCA, an application must be completed by the prospective adopter. The information provided in this document helps us to identify the pet most suitable to an adopter's personality, energy level, and lifestyle, as well as to ensure that we are placing pets in a healthy, sustainable environment. Prospective adopters may download an application by clicking the appropriate link above. Please note that reference and background checks will be conducted before an application can be approved.

 

It costs the HVSPCA an average of $300 per animal to provide any necessary medical care on intake into our shelter. This does not include the cost of feeding and caring for this animal during its stay with us. We receive no funding from private or government agencies to make this possible. We depend solely on donations . While we do not ask for a fee in order to adopt one of our animals, we would appreciate a donation so that another animal can be given the same chance enjoyed by the animal you are adopting!
