Homes for Orphaned Pets Exist (H.O.P.E.) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to evaluating, rescuing, nurturing and responsibly rehoming animals throughout Saratoga County and the surrounding communities. For more than 20 years, H.O.P.E. has rescued dogs and cats from challenging circumstances, providing them with compassionate medical care, loving foster homes and thoughtful placement. We fight for every animal we have the resources to help—raising critical funds for medical treatment and recovery, while working tirelessly to ensure each adoption is a lasting, successful match. We are proud to be a trusted resource for local families, shelters and community partners seeking guidance and support for pets in need.

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 Friday & Saturday 11am – 4pm. 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.
