CHIEF is Our Featured Pet for all of the right reasons. Chief was living in an abandoned home. He was being fed by a good samaritan but was left to fend for himself in a climate that can be brutally cold during winter months. Most of all he was lonely and needed a warm home and a warm heart to rescue him. He was unneutered and through no fault of his own, able to add to the pet over population problem in this country. The volunteers at Animal Aid of Cortland Inc. work tirelessly towards educating the community and offering low cost spay/neuter for companion animals. Little Chief is an affectionate dog who deserved better from life. He could be one of the poster children for the reason why it is so important to spay and neuter your pet. Chief eventually found a home of his very own.

Our 2nd Annual Artists for Animals silent auction of artwork to benefit the companion animals of Cortland County has ended and the People's Choice Award was given to Evelyn Embry for her oil on canvas entitled Fruit and Silver.

For the third year in a row, Animal Aid of Cortland, Inc. in conjunction with North Shore Animal League hosted their 2006 Tour For Life Adoptathon on April 29, 2006. Rescue organizations from surrounding areas joined in to make everyone aware of the benefits of sharing your life with a rescued companion animal. The weather was perfect and the pets were pleased to strut their stuff. Another successful day for adoptions and several hopeful applicants were patiently waiting to bring their new family members home at the end of the day.
Cornell Companions and the Cornell Pre Vet Society were enjoying the outdoors on Saturday April 22nd at Cornell Plantation to benefit the animals. Animal Aid wishes to thank all who attended and especially the K9 companions who joined in to raise funds to assist in ongoing rescue efforts.
Our 2nd Annual Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre and Silent Auction was held at the Cortland Country Club on November 12, 2005. We are pleased to say it was a SOLD OUT event. We would like to thank everyone who attended this gala event to raise funds for Animal Aid of Cortland in order that we can continue to assist animals in Cortland County. More important we raised awareness to the plight of homeless animals and will continue our educational endeavors in the future. Many thanks to all of our corporate sponsors and other sponsors who donated their time, service and items for our silent auction.
Animal Aid of Cortland wishes to extend our deepest appreciation to all of the volunteers who assisted in spay/neuter clinics, caring for and rehoming all of the wonderful pets throughout 2005 and to those who continue this work. You have saved many lives and we thank you all. We ask that you take a look back through some of the faces of the many animals lives you have helped to change for the better by scrolling through our Happy Tails Section of Petfinder.
Who We Are
We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to spay/neuter and responsible pet ownership. We endeavor to fulfill our MISSION:
1. Encourage and assist in funding an animal population control program through spaying and neutering animals.
2. Work to return lost and found animals to their rightful owners.
3. Find suitable homes through adoption for strays if rightful owners are not found.
4. Encourage people to treat their animals kindly and responsibly and keep them healthy.
Animal Aid continues to help people who cannot afford standard veterinary fees for their pets, and people who support colonies of feral cats and barn cats. In addition to working to curb pet overpopulation, AAoC helps to find homes for stray and companion animals for people who can no longer care for them.
We would like to thank Petfinder and North Shore Animal League America for assisting us in the placement of many otherwise homeless animals.
