One of our sato has been adopted!!

 just wanted to say thank you, we’ve had our puppy for a couple weeks now and love him so much.  He is a lab mix that left your shelter in Feb/March to come to Paws in Albion NY. 

We have renamed him Bowie and he’s doing great in his new home.  It’s amazing the work you do for these animals.  I attached some photos of happy healthy Bowie that I thought you would enjoy seeing.

Chico will be missed...

After 16 wonderful years, I put my fur baby, Chico, to rest. He was rescued by your organization and brought to the Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, MA where we found him. Thank you for all that you do... for the animals and the families that love them. God bless

Riggs a.k.a Fernando will be missed...

14 years ago I had the great fortune of adopting Rigatoni “Fernando” aka Riggs from Sterling Animal Shelter. My little bear cub was saved off the beaches of Puerto Rico by Gloria and her pals in March 2004. He was 8 or 10 weeks old when I adopted him - my sweet boy with the blue tongue and most beautiful brown eyes. Riggs lived a full and healthy life as my constant sidekick - walks every day, a huge yard for digging his bunkers to hide in, a sister dog who drove him nuts but he loved her anyway, and four cats who he begrudgingly enjoyed.

He was handsome as could be and always loved grooming day. He was a great swimmer, fantastic smoocher, and the love of my life. Sadly I had to say goodbye to him yesterday. Old age got the best of him. I will always be grateful to Gloria and those amazing volunteers in Puerto Rico for saving him and sending him to Sterling. Much love and gratitude.

Nena will be missed.....

Thank you so very much for our beautiful Nena.  We adopted Nena in 2003 from PAWS in Bethel, CT and she was my wedding present from my husband to be! She started our family and she was my constant companion, helping to raise our son & daughter.  Sadly our girl passed in late August 2018 and she is greatly missed each day.  Thank you for all that you do & for saving our precious girl so she could love us every day she was with us.

Kindest Regards,

Clare Ramery
