If there is no license, go to your town clerk with proof of updated rabies vaccine, (we will fax to them if we administer the vaccine), and obtain your license. NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets Law Article 7 requires that shelters hold unlicensed dogs for a minimum of 5 days and licensed dogs for 10 days. As a courtesy, the CNY SPCA holds all dogs for 10 days before preparing them for adoption. Per New York State Law all dogs, cats and rabbits must be spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter.

Adopt
Report
Our goal at the CNY SPCA is to set all of our animals up for success in their new home. Our adoptions are not "first come, first serve". We choose the adopters that are the best fit for the animal. Decisions are made by kennel staff and shelter administration. We will also be counseling all families at the time of adoption to try and help the transition into your home easier for your family and your new companion.
Adoption Process
Report
1- the above information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I also acknowledge falsification of the above can result in my being denied adoption of an animal. In order to visit with an animal you MUST have a fully processed, APPROVED application. Our approval process takes 24 - 48 hours.
Working Cats
Report
The Central New York SPCA can help place healthy cats that are not suitable as pets in environments where they can flourish, working alongside humans to help control rat and mice populations. These cats can be placed successfully in barns, ranches, construction companies, police stations, military bases, and other businesses looking for inexpensive and effective rodent control.
