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.
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. |

Animal Camp is a one-week summer day camp program open to children between the ages of 9 and 15 (pls inquire if child is outside that age range to see if we can accommodate) that provides a unique education program that offers kids the privilege to learn about rescued animals and life at a no-kill sanctuary through fun and exciting hands-on experiences.
This program is a fun-filled way for kids to learn more about dogs, cats, horses, pigs, and other companion animals. It is designed to foster awareness about animals and will include tours, guest speakers, animal-related education, hands-on experiences working with the animals, crafts, professional demonstrations, discussions, and plenty of fun.
The campers will leave the program with the ability to think critically, but with compassion, and with an awareness of how THEY can make a positive difference in the lives of animals.
Animal camp is open to 20 campers between the ages of 9-15 and will take place on Monday July 15th - July 19th and runs from 9am - 3pm. For more information and to register, click here.
 Before Pat died he had a dream for the dogs of Pets Alive. He was unhappy with the set-up of our outside runs, advising that the sharing of all the fence lines caused undue stress on the dogs which resulted in increased anxiety and behavior issues.
He felt that we could do it better.
Pat wanted to see the runs separated into an additional section where two full sections would not share panels. To the right shows some pricing and sketches he had worked up and we were able to find it in his notebook after he passed (click for larger view).
It's a huge nut to crack, folks. Almost $15,000 it will cost to do this project, including the gravel and fencing not included in his sketch.
We are DETERMINED to see Pat's dream become a reality. Please consider buying ONE panel. ONE panel of a run to house a dog. Each panel costs $90. If you can not afford one panel, or an entire run (6 panels), then please consider a donation of any amount to chip in to help us create this new Camp Tyler area. THIS is what Pat wanted for our dogs. Please help us make sure this final dream comes true..and honor Pat's memory as well.
Your donation to Pets Alive is tax deductible.

- Bottle-baby kitten seminar - Thursday, May 30th, 6:30pm

Many kittens are found this time of year in desperate need of this additional care to survive. Come and learn the ins and outs of hand raising "bottle baby" kittens! We encourage rescues, shelters, sanctuaries, volunteers, etc to all come and attend this FREE forty-five minute demonstration and seminar. Hand raising kittens can be rewarding and having qualified individuals to help raise young kittens, eases the burden placed on shelter staff. There is no obligation to foster kittens just because you attend the seminar, so please come and be evan a "possible" future resource!
