Rev up your engines because Hudson Valley Dealerships’ 3rd Annual Motorcycle Ride is back!

We’re rolling out Sunday, September 7th, starting at Moroney’s Harley Davidson. Sign-in runs from 10–11:30am, then it’s ride, eat, raffle, repeat.

Every mile you put on the odometer helps HVARS give animals a second chance. So yes, it’s a charity ride where you get to look extremely cool and rack up good karma points.

Interested? Email [email protected] for details.

👉 Rain date: September 14th, but let’s manifest leather jackets, not rain jackets. 😅

Meet the tiniest NCIS squad you’ll ever see!

Leading the team is Polar, our 1½-year-old papa, followed by his four 7-month-old recruits: McGee, Gibbs, Ducky, and DiNozzo. These little agents were surrendered to HVARS when their humans couldn’t care for them anymore, but now they’re ready for a new mission: finding the perfect lap to snuggle on!

Don’t worry, you don’t need to adopt the whole team. Each pup can go home solo and is more than ready to binge-watch Netflix with you. Head to www.HVARS.org/adoptions to fill out an application today!

8/23 **NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS**

No, this is not a photo of a stuffed animal. Yes, she’s real. We checked. Twice.

Wiggler, one of the Brooklyn hoarding case crew, has been working her way into everyone’s hearts like it’s her full-time job.

This 4-month-old has been in foster since day one and (surprise, surprise) instantly charmed her foster parents. She’s a little softie learning the ropes of dog life, with plenty of help from her canine foster siblings.

Basically? She’s the definition of “sweet baby angel energy” and living proof that the best things in life come with floppy ears and head tilts.

Got an opening on your couch for this petite girlie? Head to www.HVARS.org/adoptions to learn how to bring her home.

Meet Mozzie (short for Mozzarella, of course!)

77 lbs of pure “brick house” energy, this 2-year-old baddie was found living as a stray outside a pizzeria and honestly? The name just fits.

Mozzie is absolutely the type to crush a large pie solo, chase it with a pitcher of beer, then grab the mic and deliver the most legendary rendition of “Free Bird” your local dive bar has ever heard.

If you’ve been searching for a bestie who’s big, bold, and totally in charge of her own destiny…she’s your girl.

The best things in life are free…like rabies vaccines.

HVARS and the Dutchess County Department of Health are once again teaming up to keep your pets safe (and your wallet happy).

On Saturday, September 13th, from 10am–2pm, we’ll be at the East Fishkill Community Center giving out free rabies vaccines for Dutchess County residents. Not from the county? It’s still just $15, which is basically the cost of forgetting to cancel one streaming service subscription. 🤭

Dogs, cats, and yes… even ferrets are invited. Plus, $45 microchipping and $25 distemper vaccines will also be available for those who want to get it all done in one trip.

FYI:
➡️ Location: East Fishkill Community Center @ 890 NY-82, Hopewell Junction, NY 12533
➡️ Dogs on leashes
➡️ Cats and ferrets in carriers
➡️ Proof of residency required
➡️ Pre-register each animal at www.HVARS.org

Rabies is dangerous. Protecting your pets isn’t. We hope to see you there!

No stomping this Goomba…only cuddling allowed!

This 5-year-old peanut is part of the Brooklyn hoarding case, who are all named after characters from the Mario universe.

Our little Goomba has retired from blocking Mario’s path and now blocks volunteers from doing paperwork because snuggle time comes first. Always.

If you’re ready to hit “start” on your next adventure, Goomba could be the one for you!

These two pint-sized humans just won the kindness game! For the second year in a row, Josephine and Madelyn set up a lemonade stand… and this time, they decided to pour their hearts (and their profits) into helping the animals of HVARS!

We are beyond grateful for their sweet generosity, big spirits, and even bigger hearts. Your support means the world to our furry friends. You two just proved that even the tiniest humans can make the biggest difference!

When you donate blankets this cozy, our office cat, Mama, immediately claims them for quality control. 😅

Huge thanks to Jeryl Ann and Comfort for Critters for these handmade blankets, crafted to comfort pets living in shelters while they wait for their new homes. Our animals (and Mama) approve 100%!

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.
