The Pet Adoption League, (P.A.L.) is a tax-exempt, 501(3)c charity. We are a dedicated volunteer group that gives much needed help to animal shelters, located in lower Westchester County, New York and individual rescue groups In addition P.A.L. helps place animals throughtout Westchester with our adoption referral program. Along with adoptions, P.A.L. also helps with the cost of medical care needed for the animals at the shelter. This volunteer group is the outgrowth of a noble vision in 1996, that a City Shelter could work with volunteers to save rather than kill adoptable animals. We helped change a small municipal animal shelter (which had a euthanasia rate of approx. 70%) to a much more humane facility. As a result of the hard work of volunteers and past Shelter administrator the euthanasia rate had dropped to 10% over the past several years. But our work is far from over. Remember when you adopt from the Pet Adoption League you are truly saving a life -- since many of the animals we help are at animal shelters. Our goal is to match the right pet to the right home. And "Pet Adoption League" provides an adoption kit to all adopters including our Adoptions Follow Up hotline numbers...got questions after you adopt, an adoptions counselor is only a phone call away.

P.A.L gives help to local animal shelters where there is limited space and overcrowding may occur. As a result, euthanasia becomes a very sad reality. So when you choose to adopt through us, you are truly helping to save a life. Please open your hearts and homes and save a life NOW.

A great deal of effort goes into placing these pets in a home where human family members and animals are best suited to each other. While this is not an exact science, it certainly helps give the Shelter Director, staff and volunteers and idea of how best to place the animal in a "forever home". Along with evaluation testing, many of the dogs begin basic obedience lessons, and already know some basic commands.

All of the animals to be adopted have been vaccinated. The adoption fees vary for puppies/kittens and adult dogs/cats. For more information, please call our P.A.L. adoption hotline at (914) 376-7183.

We can ALWAYS use donations of blankets, towels, dog beds, dog chews and toys, as well as cat beds, scratch posts, cat toys, cat litter and treats. The animals greatly appreciate these items, which help give them some small enjoyment and comfort while they wait for their new homes! We also appreciate donations of kitten/puppy milk replacers, baby foods, and puppy/kitten wet and dry foods. Please call our P.A.L. hotline at (914) 376-7183 or e-mail us at pal_mv@yahoo.com to arrange for pick-up or drop-off of donated items.
