The doctor is in and this time, we’ve got Dr. Zeus on duty. 😻

He’s here with a very official reminder that the free rabies vaccine clinic is happening THIS Saturday, 11/22, at the Amenia Town Hall (4498 NY-22, Amenia, NY) from 10 AM–1 PM.

If your pet hasn’t registered yet, Dr. Zeus kindly recommends doing so ASAP. He’s committed to public health…despite the fact that his stethoscope may or may not be functional.

Rabies vaccines are free for Dutchess County residents and $15 per pet for non-residents. Dogs, cats, and even ferrets are welcome!

👉 Appointments are required, so head to www.HVARS.org to register.

See you Saturday! Dr. Zeus will be accepting patients, praise, and of course…snacks.

Goofy Gloria, reporting for couch duty.

She’s 2 years old, fun-sized, and built like your favorite teapot ➡️ short, stout, and slightly unhinged.

Jasmine didn’t choose the tripod life; the tripod life chose her.

Being short one leg didn’t slow her down one bit. If anything, it boosted her comedic timing.

✨Certified happy girl. Uncertified menace.✨

We’re so honored to be part of a special initiative from students at Marist University’s School of Management, who are raising funds for local nonprofit organizations in the Hudson Valley.

Even better? The group that raises the most for their chosen organization will have their final donation matched by Marist University!

We’re beyond grateful to Marist University and everyone who continues to support the work we do. Together, we’re building a stronger, more compassionate Hudson Valley for pets, wildlife, and the people who love them.

At first glance, Pudding seems like your standard little sweetheart: soft eyes, big heart, total angel. But hang around long enough and you’ll meet her inner gremlin (the adorable kind, we promise).

Human? Friend. Dog? Friend. Cat? Still TBD, so we’ll circle back. 😅

She’s still growing and will probably end up as an XL lapdog. But honestly, who’s complaining? More Pudding to love! Fill out an application for her today at www.HVARS.org/adoptions

Glenn may be pocket-sized, but his energy is XXL. At just 7 months and barely 20 lbs, he’s what we call “carry-on approved.”

Still figuring out his social game (we’ve all had awkward phases, right?), he’s determined to make friends both human and canine.

He’s a teeny tiny man boy with a big personality. We promise though, this pocket-sized pup will fit perfectly into your life and your lap.

👉Head to www.HVARS.org/adoptions to learn how to take Glenn home ❤️

Our Story

Hudson Valley Animal Rescue & Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) charity organization, located at 9 Barnes Drive, Poughkeepsie, NY. HVARS was started to help pets in need get the medical attention they deserved for an affordable price. We run a low cost clinic, where our vets on staff do everything from well healthcare check ups & vaccines to Spay/Neuter services and more complicated surgeries. Anything from basic routine care to bloodwork, x-rays and dentals. We are also an adoption/rehabilitation center, taking in close to 1,000 cats/kittens, dogs/puppies and farm animals each year. The domestic animals are evaluated and vetted, then eventually put up for adoption to find their forever families while the farm animals are adopted out or stay at our sanctuary for the remainder of their lives depending on the needs of each animal. The last thing we offer is wildlife rehabilitation, in the spring and summer months we take in anywhere between 50-150 injured and orphan wildlife- mainly we focus on Raccoons, Skunks, Fox and Fawn but we assist in placing all species to the proper rehabilitator to ensure they are receiving everything they need to thrive and eventually be released back into the wild.
