Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist (H.O.P.E.) is a not-for-profit organization of animal lovers from Saratoga and surrounding counties who are dedicated to assisting animals whose owners have passed away or can no longer keep them. Some of the pets are surrendered directly to H.O.P.E., whereas others come from various local rescues or shelters which are at capacity. H.O.P.E. gives these homeless pets a second chance for a wonderful life; to be part of a family, to be a therapy pet or just to be someone’s best friend. The goal of H.O.P.E. is to find suitable adopters who will provide these pets with a lifelong commitment of love and care.

All H.O.P.E. pets are seen by a veterinarian prior to adoption where they are given appropriate medical care, including spaying/neutering and vaccinations. Veterinarians provide additional medical treatment if needed.

The H.O.P.E. Pet Adoption and Education Center is located in the Wilton Mall, and is open to visitors Tuesday through Saturday 11 AM to 6 PM with a lunch break from 1:00 to 1:30 PM. You can make an appointment by calling us at 518-450-7013, or just stop by and ring the bell to be admitted.

Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist is not just our name. It is our mission.
