The Hudson Valley SPCA is a no kill shelter and even though we have high adoption rates, we currently do not have the space, staff, or funding resources to take in all the animals that need our help. 

Each year, we aim to increase our capacity and promote spay/neuter programs to decrease stray populations.  There are a large number of stray animals, abused animals, and neglected animals in Orange County.  These are the animals that require our immediate attention and the mission of the HVSPCA is to provide to them as much medical and behavioral attention as needed. 

As a service to the community that supports our continuing success, we are able to take in a companion animal from its current guardian on a limited basis depending on available space.  What we can immediately offer to those looking to surrender a companion animal is a spot on our waiting list which means: the animal will be posted on our Virtual Shelter, added to our internal database which uploads to Petfinder.com, and promoted on our website, Facebook page, and Twitter account.  We make every effort to accommodate the guardian and animal in their time of need.

If you require immediate attention, please call the Hudson Valley SPCA at (845) 564-6810.  Please be aware that a standard surrender fee may apply for immediate surrenders.  A donation is greatly appreciated for any surrender that is accepted into the shelter and will help the HVSPCA offset the cost of caring for that animal.
