We've got a cute #HappyTail for you this lovely Friday morning! Fig Newton (previously named Sagittarius at the shelter) was adopted from the Ulster County SPCA a few days ago, and has since fallen in love with his new family! The family shared this sweet video of their daughter reading to and playing with little Newt.

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 🥰
Osiris is not stuck! We think he's either playing a game with his siblings or is actively hiding from them! They are a very hyper bunch of kittens, after all - maybe he just needs a little alone time. He's happy enough to snuggle with them when they've calmed down, but for now, he's happyier at the top of the scratching post.
This little kitten and many of his littermates are available for adoption as of Nov 14th, 2023. Take a look on our website to apply to meet them: www.ucspca.org. If you don't see their photo on the website, it means they have received applications to be adopted.

Shanaya is such a big ol' mush! She just loves people and snuggles! And she is available for adoption!
Shanaya is a 5 year old female American Pit Bull. She is a playful, high-energy dog with lots of love to give! She could play for hours, and is very toy-motivated. There is nothing she loves more than people, their attention and their affection. She loves to be pet and snuggled, and is super eager to find a family to share playtime with. She also knows exactly how she likes things, and can be a bit of a princess about getting her own way. Shanaya would do well in a household with children over the age of ten, and possibly a dog-friendly cat. She does not like other dogs, and would not do well in a home with another dog.
Visit www.ucspca.org/how-to-adopt/available-dogs/ to learn more about Shanaya and to apply to meet her!
Meet Poe! He's a sweet little kitten who loves to play and purrs so easily! He is looking for his fur-ever home! To apply for him, visit https://www.ucspca.org/how-to-adopt/available-cats/, then click on his photo to access his adoption application.

Thank you to the High Meadow School 2nd grade class, who raised $350 for our animals and even found a $350 match! Our staff - and adoptable shelter dog Snoopy - wanted to say thank you! We really appreciate all the love from our youngest supporters!
For the month of June 2023, the shelter animals themselves are our artists of the month! With a little help from some peanut butter and our volunteers, they’ve made these colorful, unique pieces! Each piece is $20, with the proceeds going towards the care of the animals!
See all the pieces here: https://www.ucspca.org/get-involved/artists-for-animals/ Purchase in our lobby or by calling (845) 331-5377 ext 210 between 11:30am and 3:30pm Tuesday through Sunday.
How did we have shelter animals paint on canvas without getting paint all over themselves? Each volunteer chose a variety of colors and smeared a little paint on the canvas. Then the canvas was securely wrapped in plastic wrap or fit inside a plastic ziplock bag. The plastic made sure the shelter animal never came in direct contact with the paint. Then we smeared peanut butter on the outside of the plastic for the dogs, lickable treats for the cats, or dropped nibble treats for the small animals. As the animals lapped up their treats, they pushed the plastic around, smearing the paint around on the canvas. Each animal eats in their own pattern, creating a unique painting!
