“Our year began in sadness with the loss of our rottweiler, Maxine.  My son sent me a photo of a puppy with a note "when you are ready" and told me about Hudson Paws.  With the help of Kyrsten, we adopted two great girls, and our sadness turned to happiness.  We take Vicki and Scarlett every day to the dog park and we mention Hudson Paws all of the time.”

“We adopted “Oak” now known as Cooper in January of 2026. He had spent his life there at Hudson Paws until adoption. He is our 3rd rescue out of 5 of our dogs. All 3 were adopted from different shelters/rescues. Hudson Paws has been great to deal with and I keep in touch with them regularly. They made everything super easy. Cooper has been a great addition to our family and has come such a long way since we got him!! We will never get another dog unless it is a rescue!”

“We are so incredibly grateful to Hudson Paws and all of Billie’s caretakers for the love and guidance you gave her during her first months. We are constantly amazed by all she knows and her eagerness to learn! In fact, when the dog trainer came over to show us some tips on how to help Bille adjust to city life, she couldn’t believe how calm and self-controlled she is. She said, “someone has really  been working hard to teach Billie!” She compared her to a service dog and said that usually it would take four months to teach her all that she has already learned at Hudson Paws.” - The Glass Family

“What an amazing opportunity the girls have been given through our partnership with Hudson Paws.”

“We adopted our sweet Lexi when she was just seven months old, and we truly feel like we were meant to find each other. From the moment she came into our lives, she has brought us so much love, laughter, and happiness. She has grown into such a beautiful, loving girl and has become such an important part of our family. She is spoiled, loved, and very much knows she is part of the family! We are so grateful to the wonderful people at Hudson Paws who cared for Lexi and gave us the opportunity to bring her home. She has a happy life, a loving home, and a family who wouldn’t trade her for the world. Thank you for helping us find our girl.”

“Hudson Paws was great!! Back in May of 2025, we decided to adopt another dog after losing ours to old age over a year before. We looked at all the eligible pups and made a list of the ones we thought would be good for us. You were patient on the phone, helped us filter out some that might not fit our lifestyle, and then set up a time for us to come meet the pups. There were four of them, and again, you were friendly and patient as you brought each out and allowed us to enjoy each dog. At the time, we felt two could be for us, so we took a day or two to think about it. We came back, met with them again, and Sasha picked us. She seemed to remember us and immediately came and sat at our feet, and that was it. Sasha is a gentle girl and loves everybody. She gets along with all the dogs at the park, loves kids, plays hard, then goes "couch potato" in a matter of seconds. She is our third rescue, and I encourage anyone considering adopting one to do so.”
