Our for January 13th, 2025 is Stevie!

Stevie is a sensitive, shy little girl who is just beginning to find her way in this world. She likes to take it one step at a time, offering slow-blink affection until you get to know each other better. A real , she was found on the side of the road pregnant. She was a very good mama until her babies were old enough to be adopted, which happened quickly for each of them. Now, it's her turn! She is looking for her own in a quiet, comfortable space where she can be cared for with as much love and patience as she provided for her kittens.

To apply for Stevie, visit https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/45a2a9e1-b838-420f-a030-c2e2b2d1128c?tracking=b2d5a0c4-414d-4a5b-b83d-52d17ced4ec2 and take home your today!

SWEET PEA NEEDS YOUR HELP! never ends or comes at a convenient time. We just started the and already have an emergency surgery.

Sweet Pea arrived at the shelter a couple weeks ago as a found cat, with no owner coming forward for her. She was made available for adoption and, as an older gal, seemed healthy except for a small hernia. She suddenly had several episodes of vomiting and upon examination, we saw her belly was bruised and feeling firm. We rushed her immediately to a veterinary hospital where x-rays revealed her intestine had broken through the abdominal wall. She was taken for surgery to another veterinary hospital where a CT scan showed her spleen and bladder had also fallen through. After an exhaustive surgery, Sweet Pea is now recovering and hoping her will come soon. Although she is still hospitalized, this little lady deserves to find her match with a cozy spot to rest and fully recover.

We want to thank Animal Hospital (Dr. Paula Turner) and Veterinary Services (Dr. Joe D’Abbraccio) for saving this beautiful ’s life. She is a !

But lifesaving like this has a significant cost, and we need your help. Sweet Pea’s surgery is over $5,000. Every little bit will help us get to our goal and ensure we can continue to save more lives. Please DONATE here today: https://app.dvforms.net/api/dv/ok6qp3 Sweet Pea’s life is worth it! Thank you for always helping care for our animals!!

Aaahhhh, the adventures of Thor continue!!

His antics keep us all on our toes...and looking for him! Today we found him in the desk cubby. Of course, he promptly knocked the pen holder out of his way to make room for himself! 🤣 We're pretty sure he also said, "cats rule, people drool" when he did it. Yes, , we know you're a God, and you remind us every day that we are all your peasant servants - bringing you toys for entertainment, laying food at your feet and fluffing your bed before naptime!

ANIMAL CRUELTY CONVICTION following Ulster County SPCA Humane Law Enforcement investigation: An Esopus woman pled guilty to animal cruelty (failure to provide sustenance), resulting in a 1 year conditional discharge, assignment to the County animal abuse registry and $600 restitution.

The dog was found wandering a parking lot in Port Ewen with untreated eye infections and severe pelting of his coat. The pelted coat impeded his ability to walk and required a sedated shave down by our veterinarian, which uncovered nails so long several were curved and embedded in his paw pads, two masses, a hernia, ear and skin infections and severe periodontal disease. After 2 months of veterinary care at the shelter, he was made available for adoption and found his . Thank you to the Ulster County District Attorney's Office for prosecuting this case and taking animal cruelty seriously in Ulster County.

As always, please refrain from derogatory, threatening or inappropriate comments regarding defendants/owners on our social media. As the only Humane Law Enforcement agency in the county, we see neglect and abuse every day and understand it is difficult. However, we remain focused on the positive outcomes we provide for these animals and ask you to do the same. Thank you.

Meet our first for 2025, thanks to our sponsor, Sunflower Market in Woodstock and Rhinebeck!

Bella is a lovely German Shepherd mix who is a little older, but still has lots of s***k! Sadly, her human parents were seniors as well and when her Dad passed, her Mom also had some health issues, leaving the only option for Bella to come to the shelter. She's working as our assistant receptionist, as the kennels are little too much for this girl whose whole world has changed overnight. She's adapting very well though and enjoys all the attention she is getting, greeting everyone who comes into the shelter. She'd be a great shop dog, if anyone has a business, and she enjoys the company of other dogs as well. She really is just a perfect gal!

"Uuummm...you've got mail!" says Apollo.

This is a pint-size who is super sweet! He arrived when his owner lost their housing and we provided emergency boarding while they attempted to find a place that would accept Apollo. Sadly, that day never came and they had to make the decision to surrender this . He's now been with us for over a year, and is ready for a new . He's a regular on pack walks, is a field trip regular for and is loved by everyone who meets him!

Oh Princess Diana...she would give the #princesswave if her short little legs would let her! This gal doesn't stop smiling, and as you can see, she just LOVES her blueberries! Sadly, her owner died so she and her housemates - several dogs and cats - came to stay here at the shelter. She was very accustomed to being spoiled and getting lots of attention in the home, but we do not have accomodations for an #indoorpiggie here, so she had to stay outside in our barn. Although she kept a brave face on, we know she was not happy. But along came Wayward Ranch Animal Sanctuary to get her back to being the indoor princess she should be! The Ulster County SPCA only takes in farm animals through humane law cases, which can mean neglect or abuse, but also cases where an owner passes away without anyone identified to care for the animals. Our farm animals always go to sanctuary locations where they will live out their lives as companions, whether that is a private farm or an animal rescue organization like Wayward Ranch. We are so thankful for them taking her in and getting her back to being the indoor piggie she deserves to be. She has the most amazing personality, and we just have to say it - she's likes to "ham" it up for the camera. All the best to you Princess Diana for a happy, healthy life! #potbellypig #piggielife #farmsanctuary #animalshelter #animalrescue #ucspca #teamwork Kathy Ruttenberg 🥰
