About this shelter

Town of Saugerties Animal Shelter in Saugerties, NY

The Town of Saugerties Animal Shelter, located at 1767 Route 212 in Saugerties, New York, behind the town's Transfer Station, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and sits roughly 45 miles north of Albany. The shelter cares for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals, working with local residents through appointment-based adoptions and an approved application process. It is not an open-intake shelter and does not euthanize animals simply to make space, reserving that decision only for cases of serious illness or dangerous behavior. The current facility, a converted equipment garage roughly 40 years old, is being replaced through the efforts of the Saugerties Animal Welfare Fund, a 501(c)(3) established in 2018 to raise resources for a new shelter building that meets updated New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets standards.
