How to Adopt
Submitting an online application before visiting is not required, but it makes the process smoother, faster, and all-around better.
Cat Adoptions
- We recommend you set up an in-person appointment.
- You can drop by during our regular hours 7 days a week, 10 am – 4 pm (EST). Please ring the bell and the Cat Staff will assist you!
Dog Adoptions
- We recommend that you set up an in-person appointment to meet adoptable dogs ahead of your arrival to Pets Alive. An approved application is required to schedule an appointment so we can plan our day and dedicate our full attention to you, your family, and the dogs you are meeting.
- If you already have an approved application on file with us, you can drop by the shelter any day during regular business hours, 10 am – 4 pm (EST). Please come to our main kennel area at the end of our main driveway. Please be aware that without a scheduled appointment, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to introduce you to dogs that day. If we can, there may be a wait until our adoption staff is available to assist you.
- Please note: if there is another dog (or dogs) living in your home, a supervised meet and greet is required. All dog introductions must be scheduled ahead of time, we cannot accommodate drop-ins when a dog meet is required.
Barn Adoptions
- By appointment only. Please call (845)386- 9786 or email adoptions@petsalive.org.

What does your adoption fee help cover?
All of our dog and cat friends are spayed or neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, have been dewormed, and given flea preventative. Cats are tested for FELV/FIV and dogs are tested for heartworm. Each animal has been lovingly cared for by our amazing staff and volunteers… and all of this costs money! Adoption fees do not come close to covering everything we do to get your new beloved family member ready for you.
