H.O.P.E. Pets for Adoption

H.O.P.E. ANIMAL RESCUE
P.O. Box 2497 Wilton, NY 12831
(518) 428-2994
Info@HopeAnimalRescue.org

imageAndy is a very sweet, mature lady who is housebroken and gets along well with children, dogs, and cats. She looks to be a Lab/Collie mix and, as with all HOPE pets, is up to date on her shots. Andy is a young 10 years old so she would be free to a senior adopter (65+).

 

 

 

 

 

 

imageRyder is about 2 years old and appears to be a Collie/Border Collie mix. He is affectionate with people he knows and who are calm & gentle with him. Ryder is playful and would do well with another dog who is confident, but not overwhelming. Ryder may be a good agility candidate; he has tried it and did well. This dog is a smart one who will likely be very happy to be engaged with all kinds of tasks/activities/jobs. He is looking for a home without younger kids. Of course, Ryder is neutered and up to date on shots.

 

 

 

 

imageBobby is a 5-month old black male cat. It's hard to see in the pictures, but he has a cute, little stubby tail- about 2" long! Bobby gets along well with children- his foster mom reports that her 9-year old can pick Bobby up and carry him around and Bobby is fine with it. Bobby is healthy and very sweet!

 

If you are interested in learning more about Andy, Ryder or Bobby, please call H.O.P.E. at 518.428.2994 or, to fill out an online Adoption Application, visitwww.hopeanimalrescue.org!

– An Aug. 21 scheduled  bid opening, concerning road improvements for 2013. is also moved, to   to September 1. .

Supervisor John Lawler called attention to an August 13  Public Hearing, 6:30PM at the high school on the planned replacement of the Cohoes-Waterford bridge, which the State hopes to begin in 2018 or 2019. Lawler said that when it does begin, the work should be a relatively "minor distraction," because the current bridge will remain standing while the new one is built beside it.
