Donations Saves Lives!

The Canine Sanctuary began in 1996, housing and adopting out cats and dogs through a boarding kennel.

More than a 1,500 (!) wonderful dogs and cats have been placed into loving homes since 1996, and we will always be grateful to the wonderful families who opened their homes and hearts to these pets.

Canine Sanctuary volunteers, and fifteen Canine Sanctuary dogs assisted in changing an area shelter from a high kill shelter to a no kill shelter.
This process began July 7, of 2008 and we successfully placed over 100 dogs and cats in wonderful new homes.

At this time, The Canine Sanctuary is searching for a facility of their own, and we continue to thrive in our endeavor to make a difference in the lives of abandoned / abused dogs and cats through foster homes.

We will continue to assist our community as our country re-bounds from recent financial crisis, and more and more animals lose their homes.

We appreciate any assistance from the public in our continued efforts to save lost, abandoned, and abused pets, and help the people who love them.

One hundred percent of donations received is used solely toward the care
and well being of each homeless dog and cat under our care.

Donations are desperately needed to cover veterinary care, boarding, and advertising costs!
We are in need of a commercial washer and dryer, blankets, toys, biscuits, treats, towels,
canned dog and cat food, and of course volunteers.

Our adoption process includes a preliminary screening, and then educating the prospective pet owner on spay/neutering, training and acclimating pets to their new homes.
Follow up visits and telephone calls are then made on a daily/weekly schedule.
All dogs are groomed on the day of their adoption.

Canine Sanctuary stray training program.

Our rescue group is committed to training every dog that comes into our care. While behaviors is not the number one reason why dogs are returned, we feel it is part of the problem. We make sure we get to know our dogs well and enlist the community on this effort. For everything from pack walks with volunteers and our dogs, to adoption events, we try to pair people with the homeless waiting to be adopted. We offer full assistance upon adoption and have a motto "get rid of the problem, not the dog."

We have trainers willing to assist with problems that appear upon adoption or after the dog is in the home. We don't leave new adoptees on their own unless they feel they have acclimated their new dog and are comfortable with the entire process. We offer the same for our cats and kittens adopted but do not generally have much difficulty in that area.

Update: Snugs Has Found His Forever Home!

Snuggles, aka Snugs, recently turned two years old.
After a year of being fostered with Canine Sanctuary Director Michelle Gorta, on July 29th, Snugs went to his forever home.
At a family gathering in June 2010, Michelle's niece, Yvonne Raggo, and her friend Dawn Fantini, met and fell
in love with Snugs and wanted to
adopt him, however, they were saving to buy a home and knew it was going to take a year. During the remainder
of 2010 and into 2011, Eve and Dawn regularly sent food, toys, treats, and flea and tick preventative to help with Snugs care. True to their word, one year later, July 29, 2011, they adopted Snugs one week after moving into
their home in Rockland County where both women are police officers.
Snugs has a new name; PD Snugs. He was welcomed by six year old Cocker Spaniel Bella, and a somewhat put out black and white feline, named Spanky.

Update: September 2011
Eve states that he has adjusted quickly, and remains a happy and loving dog whose spirit is pure joy. Eve and Dawn are so happy to have such a loving and loyal protective dog.


Snugs' first family celebration October 2011.

Dedicated in loving memory to a sweet little Pit Bull who never had a forever home.
He gave his love to his caretakers in a kennel where love is freely given to those without homes,
and he lived his life within the safety of the Canine Sanctuary.
