Ayres Memorial Animal Shelter
A Haven of Hope
Ayres Memorial Animal Shelter is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to providing compassionate care, safe refuge, and lifelong advocacy for homeless, lost, abandoned, and unwanted animals. We are committed to helping every adoptable animal find a loving, forever home where they can truly thrive.
Our Commitment to Community
As a privately funded public service organization in Sprakers, New York, we serve as a vital link for animals in need across Montgomery County and beyond. We provide a sanctuary for pets brought to us by local municipal partners and, when space allows, welcome private surrenders to ensure every animal receives the support they deserve.
Providing a Home Between Homes
Our dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to offer a nurturing environment for every dog and cat in our care. We are not a boarding kennel; instead, we act as a temporary home, providing essential medical support, enrichment, and daily care until the perfect family steps forward. We are honored to serve as our animals' home between homes.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful journey, and we pride ourselves on being honest about every animal’s unique personality, quirks, and needs. We work hard to facilitate thoughtful matches that ensure a successful, lifelong transition for both you and your new companion. When you adopt from Ayres, you aren't just saving one life—you are helping us open our doors to save the next animal in need.
Join Our Mission
We invite you to meet our wonderful adoptable dogs and cats by scheduling an appointment or visiting us during our open hours. Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in volunteering, or wish to support our mission through donations, we would love to connect with you. Please reach out to us at 518-673-5670 or email adopt.ayresshelter@gmail.com to start your journey today.
