Our adoptions are by appointment only!
If you need to rehome or surrender an animal, DO NOT abandon them at the Ulster County SPCA . We are happy to work with you and your situation to take the animal into our care. Abandoning an animal is against the law, and anyone who does so will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
To rehome an animal, please call us at (845) 331-5377 and choose Reception at extension 1. Please note that as of Dec 2024, we do have waiting lists for taking in animals, due to being at capacity in the shelter. We will work with you to make arrangements to take in the animal as soon as possible, and may even be able to offer foster-to-surrender. We give priority to animals adopted from the Ulster County SPCA and to residents of Ulster County, NY.

Artist of the Month
Hannah Schaber is originally from Buffalo, NY, and moved to the Kingston area a few years ago. After moving to the area, she worked at the UCSPCA before becoming a veterinary assistant and working toward becoming a veterinary technician. She has always loved animals and has worked in a variety of positions in different animal care fields. Her love for animals not only drives her career, but also inspires her art.
Since she was young, Hannah has always loved various arts and crafts. She has enjoyed teaching herself embroidery, painting, resin, and more. She has her own Etsy shop, where she sells some of the art and decorations she has made.
Did you know the Ulster County SPCA is 95% funded by community members, businesses and civic organizations, and is not a part of either the ASPCA or the Ulster County government? It is this direct local support that keeps our doors open daily, fighting animal abuse and neglect, providing low-cost veterinary care, ensuring safe haven for homeless animals while offering solutions to keep pets in their homes. Our mission and work is possible thanks to our Patron Sponsor and the support of local businesses like Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union. Thank you for working hand-in-paw with us to care for the abused, neglected and homeless animals of Ulster County!
