The Animal Support Project

“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.”

TASP’s Labor Day Mega Tag Sale was an incredible success thanks to our sponsors and our pet-lovin’ community:

Rokjer & Son Moving Company & Out of the Basement

The beautiful weather brought a huge turnout of bargain hunters and our local supporters made sure we were stocked with a great supply of high quality new and used items to sell. What a blessing to the pets and people TASP serves! Next sale date is Memorial Day weekend, 2022 and already, we are warehousing new items donated by local folks who value what TASP does.

The Numbers Are In for 2020! The total number of animals assisted by The Animal Support Project in 2020: 233! This, in spite of the unprecedented pandemic’s halt to public fund raising events for almost a year!

*TASP thanks most sincerely our core grassroots donors who sent a check here and there, supported our temporary online-only pet Fantasy Photo events, donated food and items for the animals & for our tag sales and stayed in touch with us all through the long 2020 lockdown. Without your loyalty and generosity, we could not have extended our helping hands and hearts to the 233 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: 195!

The number of animals admitted to the TASP foster-adoption program: 38!

That means 83.7% of the pets brought to TASP for help were able to remain with their families once we got involved!

Species served by TASP in 2020: Cat, Dog, Ferret, Snake, Pig, Rat, Bird, Rabbit…….

2020 brought us pandemic, riots, election insanity and social distancing. But it also hopefully taught us what is most important: all life is precious! Hug those near you a little longer. Give your friends, family and neighbors a call to check in on how they are doing…..and wash hands, wash hands, wash hands!

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.
