Who We Are

GiveADog was created by Pets Alive Animal Sanctuary, the oldest no-kill animal shelter on the east coast.

Pets Alive is a 501 (c)(3) public charity, which means that contributions to us are tax deductible, including most of the cost of GiveAdog ($37.95 out of $39.95 to be exact, but check with your tax professional to be sure).

Pets Alive is a no-kill animal shelter, located in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, about 1 1/2 hours from New York City. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and place animals in need. Victims of neglect, abuse, and violence, many of them have special needs and have been rejected by other organizations.

Animals at the sanctuary range from dogs and cats to farm animals, exotic birds, and many others. Many of the animals at Pets Alive are older, have special needs or require special care.
