Kittens, kittens, and more kittens. In the last few months, I’ve taken in a number of homeless pregnant moms and an abandoned litter rescued from an attic in a family’s home. As I find homes for these kitties, I like to speak with the adopters about how they should continue to socialize them.
The transformed dog park, now renamed the LaRocca Dog Park, is a busy place when canine adoptions are happening at our Port Washington, N.Y. campus. Families looking to adopt a new dog can become better acquainted with the pet in this beautiful, quiet space.
Friends and supporters came together at our Lewyt Humane Awards Luncheon to honor those in animal welfare, and celebrate our 75 years of no-kill action and compassion.

Our Adirondack Region Cat Adoption Center in Glens Falls, NY has continued to save lives, as well as provide a vital resource in an already overpopulated region.
Rebecca and Gisela, friends for 15 years, had both lost their beloved cats last year. Their grief had finally softened and a spot opened up in each of their hearts again. They were ready to adopt and welcome new furry friends into their families.

I have an annual vet contract for my dog. I pay $20 a month. This is supposed to cover teeth cleaning, three check ups, etc. I have not been happy with the care they are giving my dog and want to get out of the contract, but the office says I cannot get out of it. Can they legally keep me in that contract?
Happy Tails
