My name is Milo!

HVARS has an application process which usually takes 1-3 days depending on the amount of animals we have in our rescue and the amount of applications we receive in a given week. If you are local and would like to visit our facility we are open from 12-4 Tuesday-Sunday.
Our adoption fees range from $175-$500. The reason for the wide margin in price is that every dog needs a little different (more or less) care. Some dogs come in fully vetted and it doesn’t cost us nearly as much as ones who come in with nothing done. Puppies fees, 2-8 months of age are always $400-$500. The adoption fee includes the animals spay/neuter, deworming, microchipping, and current vaccines. All dogs over 8 months old are heartworm/lymes tested as well. They are all current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative.
The adoption fee for the cats and kittens is $100 for any kitten under 2 year and $50 for any cat over 2 year. This includes the spay/neuter, deworming, current vaccines, and felv/fiv testing. The cats are all current on flea/tick preventive as well.
If you are interested in coming to our facility we have open hours from 12-4 Tuesday- Sunday. You do not need an appointment or to fill out an application to come during our open hours.

We have adoption events almost weekly at PETCO on Rt 9 in Poughkeepsie. from 11am-4pm
