"Come in, come in - oh, do come in! This is our house, but from now on it is yours and everything in it...."
|
We envision a community in which there are caring, compassionate, respectful relationships between humans and animals, and all adoptable animals have loving homes.

“We are overwhelmed with cats and very much need the community’s support to handle the large number of animals being left in our care. We are asking that people consider adopting a new best friend and consider making a donation to help us cover the cost of medicines and medical care. Many of the kittens are too little to even feed themselves; some are quite ill. Those animals will be under our care for weeks or even months before adoption.” |

Dear Friends:
I have exciting news about the Dutchess County SPCA’s Adoption and Education Center. Site work has begun in preparation for construction of this state-of-the-art animal shelter. We selected Transitional Builders for the position of Construction Manager. They worked closely with our Architect and Engineers as we reduced the size of the building for budgetary reasons. You will be pleased to know that we did increase the capacity to house the animals – both dogs and cats will have more space in the Adoption and Education Center.
The project was designed with the animals in mind. It features flexible kennels so that dogs can have companionship. There is space for exercising in poor weather. For cats, there are spaces for sunning, jumping and climbing. We didn’t forget staff and volunteers. Please click here to learn more about the plans for the new adoption and education center or the exciting green features of the project.
Sincerely,
Joyce Garrity

The Dutchess County SPCA has earned a fourth 4-star rating from Charity Navigator: this puts the DCSPCA in the top 8% of all charities in the nation
We are pleased to share that for the fourth year in a row, the DCSPCA has earned the highest rating for sound fiscal management. In their letter, Charity Navigator stated, “Based on the most recent financial information available, we have calculated a new rating for your organization. We are proud to announce Dutchess County SPCA has earned our fourth consecutive 4-star rating for its ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances. Only 8% of the charities we rate have received at least 4 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Dutchess County SPCA consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America. This “exceptional” designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Dutchess County SPCA from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.” — Ken Berger President & Chief Executive Officer, Charity Navigator
