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.

Buddy - dog of the month Buddy
Buddy really needs a break. This is a really great dog, but he has a ton of energy and needs to have a job. He is probably one of the smartest dogs I ever met and kennel life is simply killing him. This would be a STUPENDOUS agility dog, or a dog that could run through the fields behind a horse. He is truly an amazing dog and so smart that you won't be able to stop him from learning your ATM password, and throwing wild parties. He is losing weight here, and he is bored to death. He really needs something to do and someone to do it with. If you have a horse, 26 children, or always wanted to get into agility, then this is the dog for you. Buddy is just 1.5 years old and losing the best years of his life here. Please come and give Buddy a home and a job. Fill out an adoption application so you can meet him!

Violet - cat of the month Violet
A delicate flower, the picture of perfect innocence, a beauty. All ways I would describe myself and then some. How about a fluffy little ball of love just waiting to share my days with a family of my own? I'm a curious little girl, very interested in what is going on around me and determined to check out anything new that appears on my horizon. As with any well adjusted, happy kitty, I also spend a great deal of time playing with a variety of toys and engaging in some good old fashioned kitten play, tumbling, frolicking and wrestling with my fellow room mates. You see, I can be a sleeping little angel one minute and a live wire the next. Do you have room in your garden of life for a bundle of joy like me? Fill out an adoption application so you can meet her!

Pets Alive and Orange County Veterinary Hospital Establish Pet Chow Pantry
The economy places strain on all food banks, including those serving family pets. New York charities are seeing dramatic increases in demand as a result. Orange County Veterinary Hospital (OCVH) and Pets Alive have created Pet Chow Pantry feeding family pets who are going hungry and may ultimately be abandoned. "It's becoming all too common ... stories upon stories about whom to feed: a cherished pet or the owner herself," commented Dr. Alan Shanker one off the vets launching the program. "At the end of the day, pets provide comfort to their owners and this is especially important when a family is stressed about the economy." Pet Chow Pantry will immediately start collecting donations for distribution at OCVH, 1761 Route 17M , Goshen Monday-Friday 8:30am t o 5:00pm. Additional locations will be set up shortly. The Pantry hopes to have enough inventory to start distribution to those in need by mid February. Families in need can visit distribution location: Pet Chow Pantry, 43 St. John Street, Goshen.
