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.

Elvis - dog of the month Help Elvis!
Please help Elvis! As nice as we try to make the kennel for our pups, poor Elvis just hates it! He has an extra large dog run, inside and out but is going crazy in it. He is calm and sweet and loving when we bring him into the office but he is going stir crazy sitting in a kennel all day. Elvis is a young, handsome and friendly dog. He loves to go for walks, is sweet to everyone he meets and playful but not hyper. He does pull a bit on leash and would benefit from a little training and attention. If you are looking for a larger type of dog, please fill out an application to meet him. He is a great dog, another one we rescued from a kill shelter in Georgia. He wants so much to be in his forever home. He is a favorite here at Pets Alive!
To meet Elvis, please fill out the on-line adoption application.

The 4H Club is doing a project for Pets Alive. They are holding a “supply drive” at Minisink Valley Elementary and Intermediate School. It will start on March 10 and run until the 26th. On the 27th they plan to bring over everything they collected and we’ll give them a tour and let them meet some of the animals! We are really excited about this and want to thank the 4H club for choosing us as the beneficiary of their hard work! If your child attends Minisink we would welcome donations of bleach, laundry detergent, paper towels, feline pine cat litter, Iams (mini chunks) dog or cat (Iams Cat Professional) food, gatorade and water. You can see our wishlist here.

Girl Scout Cadette Troop 454 of Liberty is hosting a big adoption event at Betta Pets & Supplies in Monticello, NY, on April 19th, from 10-2. We will be bringing many of our dogs and cats to this adoption event and would love to see you there. Volunteers also needed to help staff it, pack up and unload. Please contact Jill if you can help that day.
