Regional Animal Shelter is a volunteer-run, no-kill, not-for-profit (501c3) animal shelter founded in 2002. In 2012, the doors to our Annex facility in Gloversville, NY were opened. Currently, the Annex can only take in dogs brought in by the City of Gloversville’s Animal Control Officer (ACO). In two years time, over 400 dogs were reunited with their families or placed into new, loving homes. In October of 2013, Regional Animal Shelter broke ground on what will be a new Humane Society in Johnstown, NY to benefit the animals in the Fulton, Montgomery, and Hamilton County communities. By actively seeking grants and funding, we hope to help reduce the stray animal population to zero by participating in any spay/neuter programs available and to actively promote education, training, and public awareness. Our mission is to provide immediate shelter and care for any and all homeless or abused animals and shelter them until such time as they are redeemed to their owners, adopted into new families, or humanely treated. We intend to provide services 24 hours a day, 7 days a-week, and respond to the public and municipalities that we serve.
