Founded in 1957, the Potsdam Humane Society (PHS)* has been providing love and humane care for unwanted, abandoned and sick animals in Potsdam and surrounding areas for more than 50 years. With the support of the Potsdam community and 11 surrounding townships, PHS delivers services and protection to over 1,200 cats, dogs and other animals each year. The compassionate, humane care you help us provide also makes our community better, as the kindness we extend to animals will inevitably influence our lives in immeasurable ways. PHS aspires to find homes for all animals that find their way to our doorstep, and to ensure that none of them will ever lose their lives due to lack of space or the resources to care for them. We welcome your support and assistance in achieving these goals, and in continuing a 50-year tradition of humane and compassionate care for the animals with which we share our lives here in our own hometown area.

Sadie’s Safe Harbor Canine Rescue is a not for profit organization passionately dedicated to the rescue of animals abandoned in high kill shelters and direct surrender from owners who can no longer care for them. Due to our wonderful network of volunteers, foster homes, boarding facilities, trainers and veterinarian support, we are able to provide a second chance for so many worthy furry friends. We provide a quality of life and safe temporary foster homes while we search for their happy “furrever” after family through a screened adoption process. We also serve our community and pet owners as a resource, providing education and information and the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. Save a Life – Spay, Neuter and Adopt.

BHLP was founded in response to the plight of cats and dogs left homeless by neglect, abandonment or abuse. We aim to improve their lives by providing direct care and safe environments. All too often these animals either end up being euthanized or exist on the street with little or no shelter or food, subjected to illness and starvation. By ignoring their plight, we risk perpetuating cat and dog overpopulation, with dire consequences. Our objective is to reduce the number of animals left uncared for and homeless. Our approach is to provide direct care, partner with supportive businesses, organizations and individuals to provide rescue services ranging from feeding to veterinary care to finding temporary and permanent homes for these animals. We also are committed to the idea that education is essential in alleviating the conditions of animal homelessness and abuse and strive to bring awareness through various community and school programs. We hope that by providing and facilitating essential services for neglected, abandoned and abused animals, we will ultimately eradicate animal homelessness and the problems associated with it.

Who We Are & What We Do Little Shelter is a nonprofit animal rescue organization. We take abused and abandoned animals from the streets and from those awaiting death at the municipal pounds. We provide a safe, caring and nurturing environment for these animals while they are waiting for loving adoptive homes. All prospective homes are carefully screened to ensure happy endings. No animal is ever destroyed at Little Shelter unless he or she is incurably ill. Spaying and neutering is important to our cause. We spay and neuter all of our animals as soon as is medically possible. The minimal adoption donation paid upon adoption includes all the medical procedures that we have done on the animal being adopted, including the spaying and neutering. Little Shelter is situated on six acres in Huntington, Long Island, 30 minutes east of New York City. Our Sheltervale Pet Cemetery operates on three acres. There are six buildings, two kennels including outdoor runs, one large communal cattery with individual rooms for nursing mothers, an isolation and medical building and a five room house that serves as office and administrative space. At any given time, we are the temporary home to more than 300 animals. Last year we placed over 600 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies into loving homes. With your help we will save even more this year.

tlc Rescue is a recently incorporated not-for-profit organization with pending public charity status under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. tlc Rescue was founded by three women who have actively dedicated much of their lives to ensuring that all animals (particularly cats and dogs) are not living on the streets, homeless and/or being neglected or abused. Our rescue efforts focus on Westchester County, New York, primarily in the southern end of the county. We often work with other rescue groups and shelters, most of whom have insufficient space for all of their cats to roam freely. Our philosophy is that no cat should be caged, except when needed to address temporary medical issues. We believe that cats need room to play, lounge and interact with each other and humans in an open environment. Our facility currently consists of six rooms for cats. Each room has ample windows, pet beds, scratching posts, cat trees, and lots of toys to keep the cats stimulated throughout the day. We designate space for newly rescued cats to be isolated while recovering from spay or neuter surgery until it can be determined which other cats they will get along best with until adopted. We also offer critical aftercare space for ferals in our TNR (Trap Neuter Release) program that aims to stop animal overpopulation. We currently work with other groups to assist dogs in need, and hope to expand and be able to help more directly.

We are an all volunteer, now rescue, we recently lost our space. Our dream is to open a state of the art adoption/veterinary combo, but funds are low. We are hoping and trying to help NY become a no-kill state under the umbrealla of the Mayor's Alliance. We believe that animals have to be part of the family completely, as they so deserve. They are all getting a second and third chance, so the homes we find are forever. We do this simply because we love animals and too few care about them enough. They need us and we also believe we need them.

We are a 501 (c)(3) non profit organization started in 2010 to help rehome abused, neglected and abanadoned dogs. None of our dogs are sheltered, rather all go into our extensive foster network where they stay until they find a home. Since 2010 we have found homes for over 200 dogs and will not stop until we can help every pup that comes into our care. We truly are Nuts for Mutts! All of our staff is volunteer, who fosters, works the adoption center and helps coordinate all our events simply out of love for these dogs. That is our driving motivation, not money and we will continue to love and help these pups forever!
