Meet  Lyla!!

Lyla was living in horrible conditions in a neighboring county when another rescue was able to save her. They contacted us to see if we had space for her and her three 6 week old kittens. We were told this is Lyla’s 4th litter and she is estimated to be 2 years old. She is just about the sweetest girl and was such a good mother. It is now her time to find an amazing family who will spoil her with love and attention. Her kittens were all adopted over 2 weeks ago and Lyla is still at the adoption center waiting for her chance at a loving home. She has been spayed, is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

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

Meet Emma!

Emma is a gorgeous tabby cat who came to HOPE with her housemate Matthew. Although they have lived together for years, they never bonded and she is a bit of a bully to sweet Matthew. They lost their mom a few years ago and were living with a family member who tried desperately to integrate them into her household with other cats and dogs. Unfortunately, it did not work out, and both cats were not thriving in the home. The difficult decision was made to rehome them. Emma would prefer to be the only pet in the home where she will get all of the attention. She is such a nice kitty, is very confident and just needs to find a lap and home where she will be spoiled for the rest of her life. Her markings are beautiful and she instantly purrs when visitors come to sit with her. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and ready for her forever home!

The HOPE Pet Adoption Center 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.

Meet Mookie!

Breed: Pug/Beagle Mix (Puggle)

Age: 7

Sex: Male

Size: 21 lbs

Personality Traits: House-trained, crate trained, playful, cuddly, loyal, smart

Mookie is a one-of-a-kind little guy with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. He loves nothing more than snuggling under the blankets, giving lots of kisses, and being close to his person. He’s incredibly loyal, affectionate, and flexible — just as happy lounging on the couch as he is heading out for a long walk or a game of fetch. Mookie is smart, food-motivated, and knows his basic commands. He rides great in the car (it’s his favorite place!) and is easy to entertain with toys, especially a good game of fetch or a stuffed Kong. Mookie would do best in a specific type of home where he can truly thrive:

• Adult-only home (no children)

• Best as an only pet

• A home committed to structure, routine, and continued support

Meet Juniper!

Juniper is a petite kitty who is a little over a year and half old. Her family made the very difficult decision to surrender her after realizing they could not properly provide for her while going through a difficult time. She may need some time to acclimate to new surroundings, but she is very sweet and receptive to pets and attention. She was recently spayed, is up to date on her rabies vaccine and has had her first distemper vaccination. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Juniper is ready to find a loving home with people who will provide her with the care and affection she deserves.
