There are several rescues, shelters and non-profits in the area that operate for the sole purpose of helping our four-legged friends, who often need help the most.

Full disclosure, any opportunity to support this particular rescue organization is one that i'll support, as I adopted the most adorable mother/daughter duo from them back in 2019.

These two sweetest most loving cats around were rescued from Mississippi a little over six years ago, but they've adjusted to life as New Yorkers just fine!

Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts of Dutchess County is based out of Wappingers Falls, and have been working to help the animals of the Hudson Valley (and beyond) since 2016. They are a no-kill non-profit pet adoption agency, have a thrift shop to benefit the operation of the shelter, and of course, accept donations (monetary, pet-related supplies, even blankets to keep the animals comfy!)
