The Animal Support Project Helping animals and their owners through tough times.

TASP is an all volunteer group dedicated to supporting animals and their owners through difficult times by helping pets stay where they belong: in their homes with their families. Most importantly, we aid senior citizens, medical patients and other community members by educating and assisting in behavioral issues, legal matters, training, referrals, grooming, transporting, providing routine care a

nd other necessary services for all species. When needed, we offer foster and re-homing services to ensure that animals continue to live in safe, loving environments.

Senior gal Ethel is with Out of the Pits

Puppies? Overrated!! You know what’s better?! A dog who already knows that 3 AM is for sleeping, not for zoomies or demanding breakfast. Ethel is a sophisticated senior lady who has mastered the fine art of being the perfect companion! Ethel is all about the finer things in life: leisurely strolls, cozy naps, and expertly judging people from her favorite spot on the couch.

Ethel is house-trained, drama-free and her adoption fee is fully sponsored! Adopting a senior dog means instant loyalty, endless love, and the kind of low-maintenance companionship that just makes life better! 🩷

Mabel sez, "I feel like it's Christmas all over again! Thanks to all you wonderful donors out there, I've got enough funds now to pursue my surgery to correct this dang Bracheocephalic Syndrome. My pre-surgical consult takes place February 28 so would y'all please pray that all goes well? As if I weren't breathless enough already, I am even more breathless with excitement now that the door is opening for me to a healthy new life.....and it's all because of YOU! I'll keep you posted here on facebook as the adventure continues. Just wanted y'all to know right now that you donors have my heart 100% and I will NEVER forget your kindness.

Sweet senior Ethel with Out of the Pits, dreaming of her own home, sweet, home. Please share to help her find it! If you love the calm and sweet nature of a frosty faced senior pup then Ethel might be just the perfect girl for you. At 10 years young, Ethel is very gentle, soft and sensitive in nature. A dream dog for those of us who love the company of a wonderful companion who is happy to take things at a leisurely pace.

At just 50 pounds, Ethel is a great size. She is wonderful walking on a leash, loves car rides and would make the perfect companion for running errands. She enjoys laying in the sun on a warm day with her legs crossed (her signature move). Snuggling is her specialty and she will melt for belly rubs.

Ethel is what we would call low maintenance. She is easy breezy in the house, occasionally she will chew on a bone but is content to just hang out. She will surprise her foster mom with the zoomies from time to time and it is so joyful to watch her running around like a puppy!

Ethel is housebroken and crate trained. When the nights get a chill she loves a warm blanket straight from the dryer. She will snuggle into it and be dreaming in minutes. She would prefer to be the only dog in her home but may do well with a dog savvy cat.

If you have room in your heart and on your couch for a sweet and loving senior dog then Ethel might just be the perfect dog for you. Feel free to reach out for more info. Her foster mom would love to tell you all about her! She is 100% an amazing catch!

This sweet girl’s adoption fee has been graciously sponsored!

Baybay sez, "Do you love animals? Do you want to keep them safe and healthy and out of the overcrowded shelters? Do you have a couple of hours to spare each month that could turn lives around? Please consider volunteering with The Animal Support Project. We are the only all volunteer, all species pet safety net in the capital region. We are always looking for volunteers to help at our pet photo clinics, volunteers to transport treasured pets like me to and from the vet, volunteers to pickup and deliver donated pet food and supplies to any of the 23 local food pantries we're serving, just to mention a few opportunities. YOU could be the person who saved my life today and made my Mama the happiest, most grateful person around. Interested? Text 518-727-8591 or email [email protected]. Tell em Baybay sent ya!"

Adding diversity and inclusion to this year's rescue stats, Luigi the turkey was rescued by TASP about a week ago. His owner had bought him as a baby to be raised for food. But by the time Luiji was butchering age, he had already charmed the family so they couldn't bear to kill him. Now, at age 2 years, he is nearing the sunset of his life, as meat birds, being bred to have extra large breasts, don't have adequate sized hearts to support their enormous bodies. Until the time comes when his heart can no longer sustain him, he will enjoy life here at Chez Plasse, discussing politics with the chickens, gobbling to announce the arrival of visitors and flirting with Melinda when she tucks him in for bedtime.

Giving Tuesday is coming. Please remember The Animal Support Project this year so that we can continue our work as a safety net for innocent pets in need. Here is just one example of what The Animal Support Project does. #GivingTuesdaycampaign #helpinganimalsinneed #helpinganimals

Anyone have a lonely hen who needs a handsome gent?

Bart sez, "Got my chopper all tuned up for the trip to today's TASP pop-up tag sale at 781 2nd Ave, Troy. Gotta scope out the goods and catch my bargain before the crowds get there. You comin'?"

Big shout out to our fabulous friends at Pet Supplies Plus for another incredible donation of much-needed pet food for the TASP Stash program. TASP uses donated food and supplies to help local financially-challenged pet owners feed their pets. Thanks to PSP, local at-risk pets are eating nourishing meals so their people have one less financial worry while they're going through a tough spot in their lives.

Thanks to the wonderful people who donated so many high quality items to the TASP Memorial Day Mega-Tag Sale! Thanks to you, shoppers are spending three glorious days of bargain hunting here at Sterup Square, just 10 miles east of Troy, NY. And because TASP is an all volunteer organization, all proceeds from the sale will be spent on keeping local pets healthy and safe even when their people are having tough times.
