Male at the front desk very rude. I drove 45 min 1 way, filled out the application there and was told at 4:20 to just leave he would not assist me today. Mind you I was the ONLY person there waiting. I asked if someone else could help me and of course he said no. There were other people working. A family was finishing up there adoption. Very unprofessional they don't close until 5pm. I DONT RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY. I WOULD PUT 0 IF IT WAS A OPTION

They have a dogs who need a home, cats and kittens who need a home, and a few Guinea pigs who need a home. Please go on the website and fill the adoption application so you will have access to meeting the dogs in person. I’ve to wait for mine so I waited to everyone an heads up. I took pictures of a few dogs but others wouldn’t stay still but still are good dogs ❤️

The people working there were fantastic! They were friendly, helpful and you could tell they truly care about the animals and are there working for the right reasons. I appreciate them helping my partner and I grow our family.

Hi there, I know the policy is that I cannot see the dogs without my landlord's approval. My landlord will only OK specific breeds of dogs. The only way I can know that is to see the adoptable dogs and choosing the one I want. Could I see the dogs?

Robin Hartman | Aug 23, 2022
Dutchess County SPCA | Aug 23, 2022

Hi Robin, all are welcome to view the dogs--you just can't interact with them without a pre-screened application. Applications require the landlord's permission if you are renting your living space. Many people take pictures of the dogs to show their landlord, or we will be happy to speak with your landlord about any dog in which you are interested and answer any questions they may have.

How could I adopt a dog. Thanks!

Lily Lee | Aug 23, 2022

Nicole Pecourt | Sep 22, 2020
Monique Johnson | Sep 22, 2020

I'd call SPCA in a.m., I believe if they dont have any to foster they could direct u to someone who does...

I went in there to purchase two kittens today and all's I got was being rude to urged I all the staff members but one person I think the animals nicer than the humans that work there they have attitude in our nasty

Jamie Rogers | Sep 22, 2020
Ana Picarello | Sep 22, 2020

I'm sorry they were rude to you. However, they have a lot of people asking, them alot of questions all at once it can, be over whelming at times. I do believe, they really need more help and a staff to accommodate a large crowd of people. Don't take it personally.

I am 13 years old and would like to volunteer but not with a parent But with a family friend would I be able to volunteer?

Sammi Larson | Sep 23, 2019
Melody Burke | Sep 23, 2019

As long as you have a guardian I think you'll be okay. But currently on their website it states that you have to be 16 to volunteer with the cats and 18 to volunteer with the dogs. Not sure if that information is current though, so your best shot would be calling them and asking.

robert totten | Sep 23, 2019
Sandy Carroll | Sep 23, 2019

Robert you can call them in advance and ask. Animal idea might be to look online for local shelters or nonprofits who are holding free spay and neuter clinics. Also they hold free rabies clinics. Most of the clinics are held at local nonprofits and local pet supplies stores such as Petsmart, Petco, Pet Supplies plus, etc.

I am looking for a senior cat for my dad.

Nicole Pecourt | Sep 23, 2019
Maurice Collen | Sep 23, 2019

That is great. So few people actually look to adopt the older animals that are looking for homes. Although many of the cats at the DCSPCA are young, there are almost always some older ones looking for their forever home. The Adoption Center is usually open on weekends as well as a few days during the week. You can call them at 845.452. 7722 or just stop by. You can also visit their website at www.dcspca.org. I hope that helps.

any cats senior available?

Nicole Pecourt | Sep 23, 2019
