Introducing Coffee: our 7-month-old little latte of love!

She’s still figuring out this whole “grown-up dog” thing but luckily, her honorary big brother Lucas has been showing her the ropes (and the best techniques for learning to roll over).

Hanging with Coffee is just like having the real thing: instant mood boost, warm and cozy vibes, and you’ll definitely find yourself coming back for another cup.

She’s sweet, a little bold, and ready to perk up someone’s life for good! Fill out an application today at www.HVARS.org/adoptions.

🎃Darlene is our big Halloween girlie🎃

You know the type: everything she owns is probably orange or bat-shaped, she's been waiting all year for her pumpkin spice latte, and she's already picked out her trick-or-treat playlist.

At just 8 months old and 38 los, Darlene loves literally everything: people, dogs, cats, snacks, and probably your Halloween décor, too.

If you're looking for a familiar who's equal parts festive and affectionate (and who'll absolutely "help" you hand out candy), Darlene's your girl. 🖤

Introducing Rocket: the 50-lb puppy-shaped tornado you never knew you needed.

Exactly as his name suggests, this guy launches himself into life (and sometimes straight into your lap). He’s got that teenage boy energy —>all go, no slow. But don’t worry, he’ll make up for it with endless cuddles once he finally powers down.

And those big Dumbo ears? Yeah, we’re pretty sure that’s how he achieves liftoff. 😂

Rocket’s a true southern gentleman from South Carolina who did amazing in foster with other dogs and kids.

If your heart (and your running shoes) are ready, Rocket’s ready for takeoff. Head to www.HVARS.org/adoptions to learn more!

If “golden retriever energy” were a person… it’d be this guy. Except, plot twist: he’s not even a golden. Well, we don’t really know what he is!

Tony’s the dreamiest, cuddliest, most charming dude you’ll ever meet. He meets you once and it’s soulmate status. Hugs? Mandatory. Eye contact? Dangerous (he’s got actual hearts in his eyes).

He melts like butter the second you pet him and adores his dog friends almost as much as he’ll adore your couch.

If you’ve been manifesting unconditional love and endless snuggles… Tony’s your guy.

🐝 Meet Gloria: our little 2-year-old, pot-bellied social butterfly who decided the Halloween season has already begun!

Her social calendar is already booked solid. There’s costume parties, playdates, and probably a pumpkin patch appearance or two. So naturally, she’s debuting her first look of the season: The Sweet-as-Honey Bumble Bee.

Gloria’s that friend who somehow knows everyone, gets the group chat buzzing, and convinces even the shyest pups to come out and play.

Basically? She’ll buzz right into your heart.

Want to snag a spot on her social calendar? Head to www.HVARS.org/adoptions to learn more about her!

This Saturday, Oct 18, we’re joining the First Annual Big Apples Fest at Heritage Financial Park because nothing says “Hudson Valley Harvest Celebration” like apples, beer, and dogs!

We’ll be there from 10am–1pm with pups up for adoption who fully intend to steal your heart (and maybe your cider donut).

Come meet your future couch companion…you’ll thank yourself later. ❤️

Tilly’s motto: if she fits, she sits (preferably the spot right under your chin). She’s tiny, sweet, and has never once respected personal space. And probably never will.

This four-month-old little bean has been thriving in foster with dogs, cats, and even a human kiddo. Basically, she loves everyone.

Now all she needs? A lap (and chin) to call her own.

🌸 Meet Iris 🌸

At just 5 months old, Iris has already mastered the art of being brave, sweet, and a little bit silly…all without ever seeing the world around her.

Born without any eyeballs, Iris came to HVARS as a stray, but she’s proven time and time again that she’s anything but ordinary. Being blind doesn’t slow her down one bit!

Right now, Iris is living her best life in one of our free-range cat rooms; exploring, playing, and melting hearts daily. She’ll need a new home with someone experienced with blind or sight-impaired cats — someone with patience, love, and a cozy lap she can call her own.

If you’re looking for “personal space,” look elsewhere because Zeus doesn’t believe in it. This guy will be in your bubble, on your lap, and in your business 24/7. Sorry not sorry.

Turn around? He’s there. Make eye contact? Game on. He’s basically that friend who plans the whole day down to the snack breaks: nonstop energy, big personality, zero chill.

Oh, and cats? Yeah… hard pass. Dogs, though? He’s totally down to kick it with them.

If your idea of a good time is constant company, endless zoomies, and a dog who loves as big as he lives, Zeus is your guy!

What. A. Weekend.

From the Pet Adoption Day at Newburgh Toyota to the Blessing of the Animals in Pleasant Valley at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, our crew had a pawsitively amazing time!

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to show love, donate, and meet our four-legged stars. Jasmine, Bolt, and Iron were total crowd favorites who handled their new fame so well. ❤️‍🔥

All three of these cuties are still looking for their new homes, so if you missed your chance to meet them this weekend, consider this your sign.

“It’s October 3rd.”

And while Aaron Samuels might not be here, Jasmine is and trust us, she’s the real star.

This 3-year-old beauty is rocking tripod life like it’s no big deal, and she’s ready to make fetch actually happen (aka find a family of her own).

October is also Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, which means it’s the perfect time to meet your new BFF.

Want Jasmine to sit with you at lunch (even in sweatpants)? Apply today 👉 www.HVARS.org/adoptions!

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.
