“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 facilitate re-homing of animals to ensure their best interest. We are the region’s ONLY all-volunteer, all-species companion animal safety net.”
Attention! Change in dates for TASP Fantasy Pet Photos!
Duh, we discovered an error in our planning for the TASP Father’s Day/Patriotic Fantasy Pet Photos schedule. The Colonie Father’s Day photos will NOT be held May 28 as originally scheduled. Instead, Colonie photos will occur June 4. And Pittsfield photos will now take place June 11 instead of June 4. Corrections have been made on this website’s Events page so please take a look. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We hope to see you at the TASP Memorial Day Mega-Tag Sale, which is happening May 26-28. You DON’T want to miss that!
Ready, set…..Prepare to Shop Till You Drop!
Mark your calendars, everyone! The dates for the TASP Mega-Tag Sale are set and, as usual, all our storage areas are filled to the ceiling with high quality new and gently-used items donated by our local animal-loving community. Pretty soon, the big Rokjer’s moving van will be wheeling up and unloading and so will trailer after trailer of items we’ve stored just for this sale! Starting 9AM, May 26, our volunteers will be stocking and re-stocking the entire sidewalk at Sterup Square, displaying all these incredible finds: Tools! Kitchen-ware! Home decor! Antiques & Collectibles! Artwork! Furniture! Small Appliances! Games & Toys! Holiday Decorations! Books & CDs! Sports Gear! Pet Supplies! And so much more! The stuff keeps arriving all weekend long, so you’ll want to stop by more than once so’s not to miss out on that special something you can’t live without.
Anyone who has been to a TASP Tag Sale can tell you, this is the place to visit BEFORE you buy new. Not only will you find an awesome selection of goods to poke through, but you’ll know that your purchase helps local at-risk pets get the care they need to stay out of the shelters. For 15 years, our all-volunteer organization has applied every penny earned at our Tag Sales to support animals and their owners through tough times. Thousands of pets of all sorts of species have been spared the stress of leaving their people when at their most vulnerable, thanks to TASP’s creative, enduring solutions.
So come once, come again, and come again after that! You won’t be disappointed. In fact, you won’t want to leave the place because there’s so much treasure to inspect. Here’s the details:
Where? Sterup Square, 2113 NY 7, Troy, NY 12180 (about 11 miles east of the Collar City Bridge).
When? May 26: 9AM – 5PM; May 27: 9AM – 5PM; May 28: 9AM – 3PM.
Special thanks to Rokjer & Son Moving Company, our host at Sterup Square: Next Advance, our loyal supporters and our dedicated volunteers for making this all happen. This is a huge undertaking that truly makes a difference for pets and people with nowhere else to turn.
