Wanderers’ Rest Humane Association serves the community by providing the highest quality care and compassion for the lost, homeless, and surrendered animals of our community, while creating highly adoptable animals and educational opportunities in honor of creating a more humane society.
When you adopt a pet, you provide a loving home to an animal in need, reducing the number of homeless pets and easing the burden on shelters. Adoption helps combat the unethical practices of puppy mills and commercial breeding facilities, which often prioritize profit over animal welfare. By choosing to adopt, you support a humane and sustainable approach to pet ownership, ensuring that every animal gets a chance to experience love and care.
Plus, adopted pets are just as loving, loyal, and wonderful as any pet you might purchase, with the added joy of knowing you’ve made a positive difference in their life.
Kind Words
My smiley Willow! I’ve been so fortunate to have adopted this amazing pup from Wanderers' Rest Humane Association! Willow was flown from Puerto Rico to upstate NY around 2020 hurricane season. She quickly got used to her snowy new home!! Y’all graciously accepted her into your rescue and blessed me and my older pup with this precious baby!
