H.O.P.E.
Peanut Butter was found living outside in a trailer park as a stray. He is now neutered, vaccinated and has tested neg for Felv/FIV. He'a a really friendly, big male with BIG feet! Peanut Butter loves people and is good with some other cats but not all (he does best with laid-back kitties); he's okay with some dogs too. Peanut Butter would be best in house with older kids because he'll sometimes play with your feet as you walk past him.
Susanne is a lovely 2-year old who is good with dogs and cats. Susanne is litter trained and, as all HOPE pets are, she is spayed and up to date on shots. She loves laps - Won't you give her a lap to call her own?
For more information and other acoptable pets please contact HOPE at518.428.2994 or, to fill out an online Adoption Application online atwww.hopeanimalrescue.org
ADK Pets for Adoption
May and her brood - This is really a good and bad story. This older gentleman was getting evicted and brought these kittens in to us with two Moms
Let me say this is the frustration that we have to deal with. Because he never secured the cage, one of the Moms escaped from his car and we are actively looking for her. Heartbreaking!! As the saying goes sad but true. So this Mama is stuck with all these babies to nurse. Some are seven weeks old and ready to go within the next few days. The others are about 3 weeks and have a few weeks to go(The other Mama's litter). Please, if you are looking for a new purr bucket, come and reserve one. We are desperate to find homes for them. Call for more information 518-654-6220.
Backyard Litter - These seven pups were rescued from backyard of a home in Mount Vernon. The man could have cared less that we took them. He just hadn't had time to "dump them at the shelter." They were immediately taken to our vet and vaccinated and treated for scabies. They have been at vet for over a week and been given dectomax injections. They have been cleared to go to rescue. There is five males two females and weigh between 8 to 12 lbs. They are currently in foster care. Please help with these puppies and give them a better start than they first were given.

Pets: Adoption vs. Purchase – by Jennifer Dugan
Spring is finally in the air and, for many people, that makes it the perfect time to start thinking about adding a new furry friend to their family. But, while the puppies and kittens in the pet store might look cute, adopting from a local shelter or rescue often proves to be a much better option in the long run.
Wendy Mongillo, President of Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist (H.O.P.E.,) says that animals from pet stores are often unhealthy and the product of poor breeding. “The majority of puppies in pet stores are from puppy mills, where the mothers are kept in small cages and are continuously bred for profit,” she said. “These dogs are often not cared for properly and the puppies are frequently not healthy. Purchasing these puppies from pet stores at extremely high prices keeps the puppy mills in business and the vicious cycle going.”

H.O.P.E. Pets for Adoption
Oliver is a Bassett/King Charles mix who is a very sweet and loving dog. Oliver has attended several adoption clinics and has behaved well, getting along with the people and dogs that were there. He's good with dogs and cats.
Like all HOPE dogs, Oliver is neutered, up to date on his shots, and micro-chipped. For more information, call Cathy at 518.424.2878.
Calvin is 5-year old St.Bernard/Bloodhound mix who is a very happy and playful dog. He's good with both dogs and cats and is housebroken. Because of his large size (120+ lbs), it is best that he not go to a home with small children.
Daisy is an extremely sweet black and white 1-year old female, who is soft as a bunny! She is very affectionate but still a bit shy. She wants to be held and cuddled but she's not sure who is safe just yet. Daisy is a purring machine and very playful! She loves catnip mice and likes hiding in a cat tunnel. She's very good at using the scratching post and hasn't scratched any furniture. Daisy gets along well with other cats and has lived with a large dog. She likes to rub against people and other cats and deserves a forever loving home!
