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!

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!

“It’s October 3rd.”

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

With paws this size, he’s clearly on track to grow into one giant, squishy marshmallow.

Monday blues don’t stand a chance against this face!

Say hello to Bolt: a one-year-old, 50-ish lb mashup of handsome + goofy who’s rocking the most iconic curly tail. He’s got legs for days, a build that could use a couple extra snacks, and a personality that’s 100% Good Boy certified. 😍

Bolt’s hobbies include:
🐾 Wrestling with dog friends
🐾 Handing out full-body bear hugs like it’s his job
🐾 Perfecting his “dead bug” yoga pose (see exhibit A in the photos)

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.
