“The Animal Support Project (TASP) is based in the Capital Region of NY. TASP performs Crisis Intervention and mitigation directly with companion animal owners to keep animals living with their families. In extreme cases where no other solution is possible and space is available, we will foster and re-home animals to ensure their best interest. We are the region’s ONLY all-volunteer, all-species companion animal safety net.”

Holy Christopher Columbus! The TASP Columbus Day Mega Tag Sale was an incredible success!

Our awesome animal-loving community came out in droves for three days of bargain-hunting over the long Columbus Day weekend and thank heavens, the weather cooperated like a true partner in the event. When all was said and done, the TASP October Mega Tag Sale brought in a record amount of desperately needed funds for local pets.

Heartfelt thanks go out to our host at Sterup Square: Next Advance, for the opportunity to set out all our goods at their protected, spacious and conveniently located site.

An extra special thank you to Rokjer & Son Moving Company, who made an extra-exceptional effort to get our goods to the site in time, even though they had to rush back all the way from a paying job in North Carolina to git ‘er done. Rokjer’s donates their time and staff to do this for TASP and the critters we serve so remember that next time you’re in need of caring, compassionate and EXPERT carriers to handle your next move.

To all the wonderful people who donated their beautiful items for the sale and to all the incredible shoppers who spent so generously, may your kindness and generosity be returned a thousandfold. We couldn’t have a sale without goods to sell and people to buy so you made the difference for the animals with your gifts.

And finally, to all the TASP volunteers who gave of their time and energy to staff the operation when they could have instead been enjoying the last fair-weather holiday weekend of the year: words seem inadequate to describe what your contribution does for local pets with nowhere else to turn for help. Y’all know first-hand the enormous demand there is for the services TASP offers these pets. And without you, there is no Animal Support Project.

We wish all of you a blessed and healthy holiday season and look forward to seeing all of you when TASP sets up the next Mega Tag Sale in the spring.

The Numbers Are In for 2021! The total number of animals assisted by The Animal Support Project in 2021: 392! This, in spite of the continued challenges of working amid the (seemingly endless) pandemic!

*TASP thanks most sincerely our core grassroots donors who sent a check here and there, supported our online and onsite pet Fantasy Photo events, donated food and items for the animals & for our tag sales and stayed in touch with us all through 2021. Without your loyalty and generosity, we could not have extended our helping hands and hearts to the 392 animals and their families who found non-judgemental support under our care. TASP is truly YOUR boots on the ground for saving local animals from crises. You should take pride in this!

The number of owned animals assisted: 360!

The number of animals admitted to the TASP foster-adoption program: 32!

That means over 90% of the pets brought to TASP for help in 2021 were able to remain with their families once we got involved!

Species served by TASP in 2021: Cat, Dog, Bird, Rabbit…….

2021 brought us more pandemic in more flavors than we ever wanted. But once again, the most important things endure: family and friendship! Please keep yourself safe and your pets, too!

Are you glad The Animal Support Project was able to help you?

Would you be willing to help The Animal Support Project?

 If you have internet access, please consider posting a review at:

It won’t cost you a penny to do this but it could help save an animal’s life.

Greatnonprofits.org is the site where donors go when they want to donate to a charity, to see what that charity’s value is to the community. Organizations with lots of good reviews have the opportunity to receive more donations because they’re putting the donations to good use.

Donations are what made it possible for TASP to help you and your pet(s).

Would you please post a review to help more deserving pets who need TASP’s assistance?

I hope you will take the time to post a review so when the next pet owner reaches out to us, we won’t have to turn them down.

THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED US EARN OUR 2021 TOP RATED CHARITY STATUS ON GREAT NONPROFITS.ORG ! Please keep those reviews coming so we can stay on top and help more animals through this seal of credibility.

Thanks for caring!

Warm regards,

….Melinda and TASP: Top Rated Nonprofit (again)!
