Mission

Founded in 1931, the Elmsford Animal Shelter pledges always to provide a comfortable, safe haven to all those creatures who find their way to us through abandonment, injury or mistreatment. No matter the health or age, for all these lost, confused, and frightened souls, we pledge always to provide loving care and sustenance, to acquaint those who have only known misfortune with the joys of cultivating new relationships. We believe in the right of all creatures to live secure, healthy lives, and we work tirelessly in our attempts to make this so. The Shelter houses some 500 dogs, ranging in age from two months to 16 years, both mixed and purebred. Our shelter is also home to approximately 700 cats and kittens, ranging in age from young to senior, eight weeks to 20 years.
