EMERALD ACRES

Animal Shelter & Boarding Facility

"We have warm hearts for cold noses"

 
Emerald Acres is the holding facility for stray dogs found in the Town of Rotterdam & Princetown, New York. Due to the severe lack of kennel space, we are only able to hold the stray dogs here for a very short time. If you are the owner of a dog listed here, or if you are interested in adopting one of these wonderful dogs, please contact the kennel immediately.
 
Emerald Acres is located at: 1197 Mariaville Rd, Schenectady, NY 12306

PHONE: 518-355-1749
NEW BUSINESS HOURS:

Monday - Friday 9:00-2:00 & 4:00-6:00 pm

Saturday 9:00-3:00 pm

Stray dogs need to be held for 6 days to allow time for their owners to claim them. If a dog is not claimed by it's owner they will then be available for adoption. The dog will be issued a license prior to adoption. We are looking for lifelong responsible homes for these wonderful dogs. If you rent, please contact your landlord for permission to house a dog prior to adoption.

Wendy & Ron have changed the hours for adoptions and have changed the entire operation of the facility so please feel free to stop by and visit the "New Emerald Acres"!
