Since 1931, the goal of the Elmsford Animal Shelter has been to find permanent, loving homes for all those dogs, cats, rabbits, and assorted others who pass through our doors. In lieu of that, we provide sanctuary for as long as is necessary for those more difficult to place either due to age, health, or behavioral history. Each day presents a new challenge or a new beginning.

Operating first out of private homes of volunteers, then to a quarter acre of property in tiny cottages, the Elmsford Animal Shelter is now the largest no-kill shelter in the tri-state area, located on 5 acres in a 46,000 square foot modern facility.
