Preventive care

What a wonderful place! We became interested in this shelter initially because we saw a dog we thought we liked on petfinder. Our 15 year old dog recently pass away and we wanted to find another dog join our family. Sam must be the "rescue whisperer" because she matched us with the sweetest lab/pit mix. It's only been a few days, we are getting to know each other still of course but he (Michelin now Theo) and our other dog are already having fun and bonding together. The application process was thorough as was our interview to help find a truly good match personality, size, and temperament. Not the dog we first saw in photos who was not a good a fit based on our individual situation and that dog's personality and various traits. I can see why they have been winning Hudson Valley Magazine's Best Pet Rescue 2 years in a row!

Staff are very responsive and knowledgeable. You can tell they all work so hard and care for all the animals. My fiancé and I have received nothing but the best care for our cats. 10/10 recommend. We adopted an amazing cat from HVARS!

They respond really quickly and are both a shelter and a clinic for animals. They responded the same day I emailed and I was able to book an appointment in two days. Very fast and the staff was very nice and quick to answer questions.

I cannot tell you how thankful for them. I could not rescue 10 feral cats in a year without their help. Their service is great for ferals. Financially it is huge support for me. I got many things free or cost almost nothing from them. They also helped me get kittens adopted. I felt so grateful to have them in the Hudson Valley area.
