Tess is a 12-year old hound mix. She originally came to us back in 2017 after being rescued from an Arkansas shelter. We vetted her, treated her heartworm, and placed her with a family where she lived until a change in circumstances landed her back with us in August 2024. Since then, she’s been caught up on her medical care, lost most of the extra 30 pounds she came back with and has been patiently waiting for a new home.

Tess is a pretty easy keeper who spends most of her day lounging around but does still have some pep in her step to play with friends or go on walks. In the nice weather, she’s often found basking in the sunshine watching the world go by. She’s housebroken and is well beyond her mischievous / chewing years. She has no separation anxiety and settles well whether you’re with her or not, so would easily adapt to work-from-home, in-office, or hybrid routines.

She’s up to date on vaccinations, spayed, heartworm negative and on prevention, and is receiving routine flea/tick prevention. She has had a full medical workup and is in good health for her age. She does have some arthritis (for which she takes daily NSAIDs), a basal cell tumor on her back (that causes her no issues and the vet, therefore, doesn’t think needs any intervention at this stage), a whole collection of other benign lumps and bumps, and some lung scarring from her previous heartworm infection (so she may pant a bit more than normal, but the condition is stable). She is currently on a 1-month course of Doxycycline for an Anaplasma infection (from a tick bite), but her bloodwork is otherwise normal.

Tess is a resource guarder so she may growl or snap if you bother her while she’s eating or chewing on a bone.

While we would ideally LOVE to find an adopter for Tess, we’d also consider a long-term foster situation. Tess deserves to live out her golden years in a quiet home, away from the hustle and bustle of shelter life and we’re open to creative arrangements that would help make that happen for her.

If Tess sounds like she might be a good fit for you, please call 845-687-7619 to set up an appointment to meet her.

Jax is a 1-year old male Great Pyrenees. He’s had a really rough start in life. Originally found as a stray in Arkansas after he and his brother were both hit by a car. His brother, sadly, did not survive and Jax found himself in a crowded shelter until he was transported to us. He’s now been with us for several months and is a much-loved staff favorite but he really, really needs and deserves to find a place to call his own where he can experience more than shelter life has to offer.

Jax is fun and affectionate, gets along with dogs & cats, rides beautifully in the car, and appears to be housebroken. He loves to play with his friends and is always so happy to have a toy to fling around or a bone to chew. He’s fine on his own and settles nicely while you work, so he’d be appropriate for both work-from-home and in-office routines.

He can be a bit nervous in new situations (new sounds, traffic, and the occasional new doorway can rattle him a bit) so he will benefit from a patient home that will help him to build his confidence. He’s been friendly with people of all ages and even met a man on a horse while out on a walk recently and did amazingly well!

Jax is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, dewormed, has tested negative for heartworm and is on prevention, and is microchipped. Due to his breed and their tendency to roam, a fully-fenced yard will be required.

If you think you could provide Jax with the home he so desperately needs, call us at 845-687-7619 to set up an appointment to meet him.

Meet Lenny! This fun & affectionate boy is looking for a place to call his own. He's a shepherd mix, approximately 1 year old.

He's upbeat, playful, and super social. He is housebroken, can settle nicely near you while you work (though he will occasionally nudge your arm and try to climb onto your lap), has made dog friends, and loves his toys.

Lenny is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, has been dewormed, has been tested negative for Heartworm and started on prevention... he's good to go!

If you think Lenny might be the guy for you, call 845-687-7619 to set up an appointment to meet him.

Gilbert is a 6-month-old male Great Pyrenees. He had quite the rough start in life; he and his brother were abandoned in Arkansas and his brother, tragically, did not survive being hit by a car, leaving Gilbert on his own. He is a sweet boy who, once he gains some confidence, will make a really nice companion.

He is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and has been heartworm tested negative and started on prevention.

Due to his breed and their tendency to roam, a fenced yard will be required.

If you think Gilbert might be the boy for you, please call 845-687-7619 to set up an appointment.

Jasmine is a 1-2 year old female mixed breed (best guess is Lab / Hound). She's fun, playful, gets along nicely with other dogs, is almost always sporting a smile, and will almost never be found far from a toy to present you with.

She is up to date on vaccinations, spayed, heartworm tested negative and on preventative. She even appears to be housebroken!

If you think Jasmine would make a great addition to your family, please call 845-687-7619 to set up an appointment to meet her.

Mario is an approx. 2-year-old Great Pyrenees. He's great with people (really, he loves everyone), is affectionate, fun & playful. He's even housebroken and walks nicely on leash. He would do best as an only dog or with a younger, smaller dog friend.

He's up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, has been dewormed, is on flea/tick prevention, and has completed his treatment for Heartworm.

If you think Mario would be a good addition to your family, please call 845-687-7619 to set up an appointment to meet him.

LUCA is still looking for his forever home. He’s been out and about exploring the neighborhood today and we’re told he’s great in the car, walks nicely on his easy walk harness and was so happy to meet everyone he came across. This 5 month old, male, lab mix is fun for sure!

If you think Luca might be the boy for you, call the shelter at 845-687-7619 to set up an appointment to meet him.

A Model Shelter

A widely praised model shelter, Animals for Adoption has recently undergone some dynamic changes. Our theme of “Dogs and People Working Together” is rewriting the rules of animal sheltering. Yes, we take dogs in and adopt them out. We also go beyond that to give as many dogs as possible roles that benefit the dogs, their owners and the community.

All of our dogs are evaluated to ensure the best possible placement. Check out our website at animalsforadoption.org to read about our groundbreaking programs.
