Pets Alive is a no-kill animal rescue, located in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, about 1 1/2 hours from New York City. Our mission is to improve the lives of companion animals everywhere by any means possible, including rescue, adoption, advocacy, collaboration, intervention and education.
Welcome to 'Deposits to the Rescue', a simple and easy way to help the animals at Pets Alive!
We are now accepting donations of your aluminum beverage cans and plastic and glass bottles that have deposits on them. Bag them up and drop them off at our collection site (pictured above), located at the top of our driveway at Pets Alive, 363 Derby Road, Middletown, NY.

Congratulations to Maddie's Fund, who celebrates 25 years! Maddie's Fund® is a family foundation created in 1994 by Workday® co-founder Dave Duffield and his wife, Cheryl, who have endowed the Foundation with more than $300 million.
Since then, the Foundation has awarded more than $225.7 million in grants toward increased community lifesaving, shelter management leadership, shelter medicine education and foster care across the U.S. Pets Alive has benefited from several recent grants, thanks to Maddie's Fund.
The Duffields named Maddie's Fund after their Miniature Schnauzer Maddie, who always made them laugh and gave them much joy. Maddie was with Dave and Cheryl for ten years and continues to inspire them today. Maddie's Fund is the fulfillment of a promise to an inspirational dog, investing its resources to create a no-kill nation where every dog and cat is guaranteed a healthy home or habitat. #ThanksToMaddie.
Maddie's Fund is a 501c3 organization, EIN 94-3362163.
