Hudson Valley Animal Rescue and Sanctuary

After requesting information, a photo or a video on a dog I had heard about I was blocked from their Facebook page. Now even if they post information on Sandy I will not be able to access it.

Wonderful rescue group that does its best to work with potential adopters to find the right fit and get a home for their animals. I got my beautiful pup from them after attending 4 adoption events at the Poughkeepsie Petco — which they host every Saturday which is free and open to the public. They bring puppies, young and adult dogs, cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs to. I fell in love with a 3 year old black dog mix, and let them know of my predicament: that my boyfriend, who I live with, is allergic to dogs. Since the pup is a mutt we wasn’t sure if it would work out with his allergies. So HVARS let me foster her for a week to see how his allergies were, and then we were able to decide to fully adopt her after spending time with her in our home. She was fully vetted, spayed, and they microchipped her when I got her. They also told me her backstory about how she came to HVARS and I was able to get in touch with the previous owner (who is terminal with Cancer). Very caring place — the office number is a cell phone, and they usually call back within an hour or two of leaving a voicemail. I highly recommend them!

The HVARS Hudson Valley Animal Rescue and Sanctuary is a joke the staff is very good and kind to you when your interested in fostering and then once you foster they will not speak to you anymore or answer your phone calls or text. I fostered 2 severely abused dogs from them and I trained these dogs as they were wild and not domesticated when I fostered them. I trained them, they now get along with humans, are friendly, and house broken. I worked so hard with each of these dogs and made so many sacrifices, stayed up late, held them when they had nightmares and could not sleep. I literally spent over $ 1,000 of pet screen so the dogs would not damage my property.
Unfortunately they damaged the property on a regular basis and it had nothing to do with exercise or chasing animals, it was simply a choice they made. I called HVARS Hudson Valley Animal Rescue and Sanctuary and told them I would have to bring them back and they were SO NASTY TO ME! They started implying that the dogs may have to be euthanized if I bring them back (YET THEY BRAND THEMSELVES AS A NO KILL SHELTER) and then tried to imply I was a MONSTER AFTER ALL THAT I DID FOR THEM AND THE DOGS!
DO NOT RECOMMEND this Sanctuary and STAY AWAY FROM THEM! Once they get what they want from you they will dump you and try to demonize you if you contact them again. WRONG WRONG WRONG!
