Meet Our Pets!
Central to our mission at Dutchess County SPCA is the securing of loving, responsible, permanent homes for our pets. Each year, the DCSPCA adopts out approximately 1,500 animals into loving homes.
Note: We have found that a quiet shelter greatly reduces anxiety in our animals. When you visit, you will be escorted through the shelter by a staff member to view animals that meet your search criteria.

-
