Sweet Destiny, (formerly known as Heidi), was found as a stray and brought to HOPE because of how friendly she is! She absolutely loves anyone she meets, and immediately snuggles up to them while simultaneously making air muffins. She is estimated to be 18 months old and loves to play and sleep with her sparkly ball. 

She’s a petite kitty who can be very vocal and is ready for a loving home where she can get the attention she deserves. She was recently spayed, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and is up to date on vaccinations.

Her name really speaks for itself. We feel it was destiny that she came to us to find her forever family. 

The HOPE cat adoption center is located in Wilton Mall and is open to the public Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 11-4 or by appointment. Online adoption applications may be found on our website, www.hopeanimalrescue.org. For any questions give us a call at 518-450-7013.

Maya is a gorgeous 7 year old longhaired, part Siamese kitty who can be a bit of a bully and Primadonna, so would do best as the only pet in the home. She would love a calm environment where the princess can relax and bond with her new family. She is friendly, food motivated and enjoys playing around her castle. She lived with Jupiter and did not share the spotlight well, but enjoyed human interaction. Maya is ready to be spoiled in her new Kingdom! We are unsure of vaccine status, but she is spayed and ready for her next adventure. 

If interested, please contact dmwmadigan@nycap.rr.com since this is a courtesy post and not a HOPE kitty. For any questions give us a call at 518-450-7013.

Angel is a 1-year-old female around 6 lbs. She is a shorthair Maine coon and is up to date on vaccinations and spayed. She is a beautiful playful, affectionate, and talkative girl who loves meeting new people! She is a lap cat and will often sleep underneath the blankets with her current owner or on his chest. One of her favorite activities is playing with her little mouse toy which she can play with for hours! She does not like other cats so her ideal home is a single cat household. 

HOPE Animal Rescue is not managing this adoption. Please reach out directly to the pet’s current owner for more information.

If you are interested in Angel, please contact Bryan directly through email: bryanbutler222@gmail.com or by phone call at (518) 804-3233

Koda is a handsome, large mixed-breed boy who is approximately 1.5 years old and weighs ~80 pounds. At the end of April, his family made the heartbreaking decision to reach out to H.O.P.E. Animal Rescue for help finding him a new home. They loved him dearly, but with major life changes, upcoming travel, and a downsizing of their living situation, they knew they could no longer provide him with the future he deserved.

Koda came from a home with two children and two other dogs. While there was one incident to be reported during his time with this family, it did not contribute to why he was being rehomed, and the details matter. An older male dog in the home had become increasingly irritable and one day attacked its owner. Koda immediately intervened. A fight broke out between the dogs, but both walked away with only minor injuries—and, most importantly, so did the owner. Koda’s instinct was not to cause harm, but to protect someone he loved.

Since entering foster care, Koda has continued to prove what a special dog he is. He has successfully lived with both male and female dogs and absolutely adores canine companionship. He loves people just as much and finds joy in everything from playtime to snuggle time.

Like many young dogs, Koda is still learning and benefits from structure and guidance, but he has made tremendous progress over the past few months. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, non-destructive, and eager to be part of whatever his people are doing. He loves walks, car rides, and even playing soccer. (Just don’t leave snacks unattended—he considers that fair game.) He’s also lived successfully with birds, though cats are not really his thing.

Because of his size and strength, Koda would do best with someone comfortable handling large-breed dogs and ideally a home with a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs.

Unfortunately, Koda recently hit a bump in the road. Last weekend, while resting unsupervised at home, he suffered an unexplained injury to his front leg. X-rays have so far been inconclusive, and he is currently on anti-inflammatory medication and strict rest—something this active young boy is tolerating only because he has no choice. The injury also meant he missed our recent adoption event, where we know he would have stolen hearts.

To make matters more urgent, Koda’s foster family will be leaving the country for a month in early July, and we need to find him a place to land.

Koda is looking for someone willing to take a chance on him the way H.O.P.E. did. We will continue covering his medical expenses until he is fully recovered, but what he needs most is a family willing to invest their time, patience, and love into his future.

Koda is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and otherwise a healthy young dog with so much life ahead of him. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Koda may just be your perfect match.

If you would like more information or to arrange to meet one of our pets, check out our Events page for adoption events to attend, contact us via email at hope.homes.for.orphaned.pets.exist@gmail.com or call 518-450-7013. We look forward to matching you with a new furry best friend.

Adoption fee for dogs is $250 and up. H.O.P.E has a senior to senior program.  If eligible, adoption fees will be waived. All applicants must be 21 years or older to qualify for adoption.

Meet sweet Kiki, a resilient cat currently looking for her forever home. Kiki was one of five indoor cats abandoned when their previous owners moved away. The ages of the cats range from 5 to 16 years and fortunately a home was found for the older cats, thanks to caring neighbors who saved them off the streets. We can only imagine what would have happened if these good samaritans hadn’t stepped up to help these poor indoor cats. 

Estimated to be between 5 and 10 years old, Kiki is calm, sweet, and easy-going. Since she had not received veterinary care in several years, she recently underwent successful dental surgery, including extractions. Her blood work came back perfect, she is up to date on all vaccines, and she has tested negative for both FIV and FeLV. Kiki is ready to be back in a home where she will be loved and spoiled for the rest of her years. 

The HOPE pet adoption center is open to the public on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, or by appointment. You can find our online adoption application at www.hopeanimalrescue.org. For any questions give us a call at 518-450-7013.
