Huge shoutout to the amazing volunteers at the Poughkeepsie Public Library District for spreading some serious tail-wagging joy! They recently made and dropped off a bag full of DIY toys for all our dogs.

Not only did they craft these awesome toys with love, but they also included a step-by-step guide on how to make them. Got a toy-loving pup at home who could use a new creation to play with? Check it out to add some fun to your four-legged friend’s day!

These toys will keep our dogs entertained, active, and ready to charm their future families. Milo has already been testing them out and gives his stamp of approval!

Pipie, our 10 year-old senior sensation, has been living his best "retirement" life! This sweet grandpa spends his days lounging with his canine friends, reminiscing about the old days (aka napping and snacking), while rocking the coziest pizza-print pj's you've ever seen. He may not be running marathons anymore, but he's a pro at catching Z's and soaking up love. Think of him as your personal snuggle expert-he's got a decade of experience after all!

If you're looking for a laid-back, pizza-loving BFF who appreciates the quiet joys of life, then Pipie may be your guy. Fill out an adoption application for him today at www.hvars.org/adoptions

A true professional at walking nicely on a leash, Roscoe is the kind of guy who knows how to stroll in style. If you’re looking for a dog who’s got brains, ears, and toy-carrying skills, Roscoe’s your man. Just don’t be surprised if you catch him eavesdropping on your conversations with his antennae ears—he's a bit of a gossip! Fill out an adoption application today at www.hvars.org/adoptions

Calling all hound lovers!! 📣

Meet Oliver!
Big ✔️
Howly ✔️
House broken ✔️
Super sweet ✔️✔️

Oliver is 6 years old, 90 solid pounds of all bloodhound (mix). He is dog friendly, crate trained, house broken and really sweet.
Oliver was a victim of divorce, sadly unwanted and "too big" to take along.
He is sad, probably very confused and doesn't quite understand what's going on but his spirits are good and his happy, let me out to sniff howl still works.
He is dog & kid friendly.

Submit an application at HVARS.org if you are interested in giving this big fella a fresh start at life

Jupiter is available for adoption💫
He is only about 11 months old, and currently weighs around 60lbs, and he’s as hound dog as it gets. He’s super sweet, and lovable, but definitely timid when you first meet him! It only takes a short amount of time for him to come out of his shell, then he loves to play and give kisses 🐶
Jupiter is very dog friendly but plays a little rough and doesn’t realize his own strength sometimes.

⭐️If you’re interested in meeting Jupiter, fill out an application at Hvars.org⭐️

Tate and Emme Lou are looking for their forever families.
They both originally came to us back in June from the Bahamas.
Tate (purple collar) is very outgoing, and dog friendly but is dominant so does better with a more submissive dog. Tate is a medium cross breed and he’s approximately 2yrs old. Tate is NOT cat friendly!!!

Emme Lou is also a medium sized cross breed that is about 4yrs old! She’s both dog and cat friendly. Emme lou is very shy once you first meet her, and is going to need a quiet home that will give her time to warm up and gain trust. She’s come a VERY long way and we’re already so proud of the improvement she’s made during her time here. If she’s given the time to show her true personality, she’s really the sweetest dog ever.

⭐️If you’re interested in either Tate or Emme Lou, fill out an application at hvars.org!!!⭐️

⭐️ Merry Poe and Pipie are both still up for adoption⭐️
Merry Poe (black and white) is a medium mixed breed, she currently weighs around 45lbs and she’s approximately 3yrs old.
Pipie (tan and white) is about 10yrs old and weighs about 50lbs.
Both Pipie and Merry are dog friendly, and both are NOT cat friendly.

We would love to see them get adopted together, but they are not bonded and can be adopted separately!!

If you’re interested in either Merry or Pipie, or both! Fill out an application at Hvars.org

Milo is waiting for his forever family to come find him 🐶
Milo has been at the rescue since MARCH!! If you knew this dog, you would find it hard to believe he’s been with us that long.
Milo is a medium sized, mixed breed that’s 7yrs old. He’s very friendly, and he loves everyone that he meets.
His ideal family would be someone who works from home, and/or someone with a lot of patience to work him through his separation anxiety.
When dealing with a dog that suffers from separation anxiety, you should not expect an overnight miracle. It could take months for Milo to feel comfortable with his family being away from him. He requires patience and love, and trust us when we say he’ll give you the same in return.
Milo will be the nicest and easiest dog, as long as he has a family that is willing to understand him, and someone who won’t give up on him.

If you are interested in giving Milo a home, fill out an application for him at hvars.org

Friends made at HVARS. Melody - 4 yrs old torti & Jangle 5 month old black short hair came from 2 different places and entered our free range room at different times. Jangle has been a very scared kitten who came in with his siblings about 6 weeks ago, while Melody entered the room shortly after being spayed just about 2 weeks ago. After a few days we noticed Jangles out and about more and really thriving for the first time in several weeks. Then we realized he's been hanging out with Melody who very obviously has the most motherly instinct to take him under her wing. Melody has comforted Jangle to a point that has made this amazing bond between the two. They are now inseparable and absolutely love each other. They can be found snuggling, grooming and sleeping next to each other almost every moment. Out of all the cats Jangle could have befriended in the room he has chosen Melody and she has chosen him back, we can't be sure for what reason but we know they must stay together now. We are hopeful a forever family looking for a wonderful pair will come along and fall in love. They are both cat friendly, living amongst other cats now and so well. If interested in adopting this beautiful pair, please submit an application at HVARS.org

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.
