DUTCHESS COUNTY SPCA
The Dutchess County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (DCSPCA) is a nonprofit animal welfare organization dedicated to providing temporary shelter for stray and homeless companion animals and to protecting animals from cruelty and neglect. Our mission is to make Dutchess County safe and humane for companion animals and people and to educate the public about the humane treatment of animals. We do this by facilitating companion animal adoption, enforcing humane laws, providing public outreach and education, and offering affordable medical care for animals in our region.
In 1871, five years after the first animal anti-cruelty laws were passed in the United States, a group of prominent community leaders in Poughkeepsie held a public meeting to form the country’s third oldest Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Although the name, location, and specific programs have changed many times throughout the last 150 years, present-day DCSPCA remains steadfast in our commitment to a better life for animals in Dutchess County and beyond.
Today, the DCSPCA is the only agency in Dutchess County that investigates and enforces animal cruelty laws. We contract with several municipalities to accept stray animals and facilitate return to their owners or placement through adoption. The DCSCPA is committed to caring for all adoptable animals until a new home is found. We envision a community in which there are caring, respectful relationships between humans and animals and that all adoptable animals have homes.

Let's face it: Nobody looks forward to vaccinations, but we all need them — including our four-legged friends! Dutchess County residents can receive free rabies vaccinations for their dogs, cats and domestic ferrets this Saturday, Aug. 11th, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Dutchess County SPCA, located at 636 Violet Avenue in Hyde Park. All dogs must be on leash, and cats and domestic ferrets must be in carriers, and vaccinations will be good for three years for pets with proper proof of a prior immunization. We hope to see you and your furry friend there!

Meet Candy!
This girl is the perfect mix of sweet and sassy! When she first came into our care, she was very timid, but now she runs the show!
She usually hangs out on the cat tower right by the door so she can be eye level with anyone who comes into the room. She needs to make sure she's the first to be seen!
Candy would love for you to come visit her!
#internationalcatday #makehomehappen #adopt #dcspca
Such a beauty.. I have 2 tabbies like Candy..
Sara Cyprien! Doesn’t she look like our Candy??
Happy International Cat Day!
Today is the perfect day to come in and find your self a new feline friend like this girl, Roseanne!
Roseanne is a laid back lady who enjoys finding the best sun spot in the room and staying there until she decides to get up and ask for some snuggles.
Roseanne is hoping that you will let her find a nice comfy spot in your home! To sweeten the deal, her adoption fee has already been paid!

Thank you Rhinebeck Bank for sharing our girl Angel!
#makehomehappen #adopt #dcspcaIt's time for Furry Friday, brought to you by Rhinebeck Bank and Dutchess County SPCA! Throughout the year on Fridays, we highlight an animal that is up for adoption, try to spread the word, and help that fur baby find their new home!
We’re pleasured to introduce Angel, a 5 year old female mixed breed dog who loves swimming, yummy treats, and spending time with her loved ones! Angel was originally surrendered and then adopted as a puppy in 2013 from DCSPCA, but was returned in February 2018 when her family moved and they weren’t able to take her with them. Angel is quite the diva. She knows exactly what she wants and how to get it! She is a favorite among the volunteers at DCSPCA. She loves to go on car rides! In fact, one morning she jumped in to a staff member’s car and refused to get out until she took her for a ride! Angel also loves to splash around in the kiddie pool. Please note that Angel’s adoption fee is sponsored!
Dutchess County SPCA is the pur-fect place to meet your next best friend! Based out of Hyde Park, NY, they are an independent non-profit organization and a no-kill animal shelter. They make a promise to every adoptable animal that they will never give up trying to find them a home! For more information on Angel visit dcspca.org/dogs/. For more information on DCSPCA and adoption please visit dcspca.org/adopt/.
