DUTCHESS COUNTY SPCA
The Dutchess County SPCA is a private nonprofit organization serving the animals and community of Dutchess County since 1871. As the third oldest animal welfare agency in the country, we envision a community in which there are caring, compassionate, respectful relationships between humans and animals, and that all adoptable animals have homes. We do this through our PAWS education programs for all ages, the humane law division which serves Dutchess County, the on site veterinary clinic, and our Adoption and Education Center.
We are an independent non-profit organization; we are not a governmental agency. We do not receive funding for our operations from federal, state or local governments or national groups – We rely on generous community members like you! As a No-Kill animal shelter since 1992, we make a promise to every adoptable animal in our care – that we will never give up trying to find them a home! We invite you to stop by, visit the animals and maybe find your next best friend!

Update on one of our DCSPCA Alumni- Caramel!
I just wanted to give you guys an update on Annabelle (previously know as Caramel). We began the process as her foster family about a year ago and a few months later, she became a permanent family member. She went from being one of the most fearful, challenging, and dramatic cats I've ever owned to one of the most loving, caring, and still most dramatic. She walks with confidence now and instead of running from everyone, she runs to them. She now explores the unknown instead of hiding under anything she could. You guys were honest and said that she was a little temperamental and would require a lot of love and patience. The amount of love we've given is nothing compared to what we've received from her. She's the sweetest little thing we could have ever asked for. Thank you, so much!

She is too sweet and will not trade her for anything. She is just sassy enough to make my entire day. I am so thankful for her greetings when I return home from work.♥♥♥♥
Thank you to Giovanna who collected all of these lovely donations for us. She asked for supplies to donate instead of birthday gifts for her 9th birthday, and she has been doing this for 6 years! She also had a lemonade stand and donated all of the proceeds to us! We are so thankful for all of the thoughtful young children who keep our animals in mind!
