Upstate Pups of NY INC.

Dog rescue in Poughkeepsie, NY

We are a 501(c)(3) dog rescue organization based out of our family home in Poughkeepsie, NY. Our family fostered dogs for a while before deciding to start our own, truly pet wellbeing focused, rescue. Our last foster from another agency, Sophia, came to us with only a few days left before crossing the rainbow bridge. Sophia's experience solidified it for us. We decided to start our own rescue, Upstate Pups. Our mission is to rescue pups from NYC & Long Island shelters for fostering and adoption in the Hudson Valley Region. We want to give NYC pups a new leash on life... the #UpstatePupsLife!

Thanks for being part of our journey!
