Welcome to Pets Alive!
Pets Alive is a no-kill animal shelter, located in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, about 1 1/2 hours from New York City. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and place animals in need. Victims of neglect, abuse, and violence, many of them have special needs and have been rejected by other organizations.

Animals at the sanctuary range from dogs and cats to farm animals, exotic birds, and many others. Many of the animals at Pets Alive are older, have special needs or require special care. Read our full story here.

Bunker - dog of the month Bunker
Bunker is a very special boy. He came to us with just three legs but he gets around without missing a beat. In fact, we're careful not to tell him he only has three legs, since we don't think he realizes it and he runs around just fine. Bunker is a big mushy lovebug who hopes to spend his evenings cuddled with his family. He hates the shelter. When people come by to walk dogs he is the first at his gate, begging them to notice him. When adopters come in he is courteous and I swear he gets this hopeful look on his face, but people just walk by him, perhaps after staring at his leg for a while. This dog is a really nice dog and my heart breaks for him every day that he sits in our kennel and dog runs. He really deserves a home. He is about 2.5 years old & is ok with SOME other dogs, but it really depends on the other dog.
