We take in animals from only Saratoga County. We however adopt to people from all over. We work with rescue groups to try to find all of our animals great homes. Please visit our website to see all that we have to offer.

Senior to Senior

The mission of the Senior to Senior Animal Adoption is to place senior dogs and cats age 5+ and older with loving senior citizens age 60+. It has been proven in countless studies that seniors thrive from the companionship of a pet.

Program Guidelines

Any Saratoga County senior 60+ wishing to adopt a senior pet is encouraged to visit the Animal Shelter or the Shelter's webpage. Saratoga County Office for the Aging will pay all adoption fees and for the cost of spaying/ neutering of these pets.

* The Senior to Senior Animal Adoption Program is a joint program between the Saratoga County Office for the Aging and the Saratoga County Animal Shelter.

(All additional medical and routine veterinary costs are assumed by the senior adopter.)
