- On the Web:
By clicking on the link below,
(For information on a particular animal, please call the Shelter at (315) 393-5191 during regular business hours.)
you will be asked to enter a code I will provide and which unlike Captcha systems will be easy to read. There will also be a couple of very simple questions for you.
From there you will go to a page which will give you the option of sending an e-mail to
- The SPCA Shelter,
- The Web Site Manager, or
- to report a bad link you discovered.
Please note that if your question concerns the status or anything about specific animals at the Shelter, you are better advised to call or visit the Shelter during regular hours. That way you will get the most up to date and most accurate information. The volunteers responding to e-mails are not physically located at the Shelter and do not have up to the minute knowledge of the animals there, so ... please consider whether a phone call or a visit to the Shelter might be a better option than e-mailing.
N O T E : These forms are newly developed and may still contain a bug or two so please let us know if you find anything untoward in the forms or anywhere on the site, for that matter.
Please also allow at least 48 hours for an e-mail response as the volunteers may also have full time jobs and/or not be immediately available to quickly answer questions. We try to answer all e-mails by the next day but it does not always work out to be possible. Thanks very much for understanding.
If the forms do not seem to be available, please check back in a couple of hours; unavailability will simply indicate that they are being worked on to improve their accuracy and security. We wish to protect our visitors as much as we do ourselves.

Site Manager Ramblings:
If you are the kind who would enjoy spending some spare time with the animals at the shelter, there are opportunities at the St. Lawrence SPCA Shelter that might be just what you would like to do. They could always use volunteers to walk the dogs, socialize the cats, and in general keep the animals’ attitudes gentle and adoptable. Animals need love and reassurance, just like we do only more-so sometimes, since there is no way to explain WHY they suddenly find themselves in the Shelter, or what happened that caused them to be there. Usually it’s not even their fault or anything they did; it was just circumstances.
Sometimes they are there simply because they aren’t wanted anymore, or perhaps the family lost their home or moved because of a job, and can not have pets where they live now, so they end up at the Shelter. One of our own dogs came from a home where his owner died, and 2 days later he was discovered there, still guarding the body, loyal as ever. He was so affected by things they were afraid he would berserk in the Shelter, it bothered him so much to suddenly be uprooted and moved there, pulled away from his owner’s dead body. He’s a bright, happy, loving and loyal pet to us now, and was brought to live with us almost the second we found out about his situation. An animal’s life can be hard, and seemingly very unfair. And sometimes, thanks to the Shelters and other places like it, they end up with happy stories to tell once the misery is over with.
