Beverly Animal Shelter Beverly Animal Shelter is a 501(c)3 non profit no-kill animal shelter in Waterloo, NY. The BAS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and no-kill facility.
(392)

Originally founded in 1958 by Gladys Schultz (and fondly known as "Schultz's), the Beverly Animal Shelter is located in Waterloo, New York. Since Glady's passing in 1991, the shelter was purchased and operated by Dallyn Jenkins, President of the Board of Directors. At that time the shelter was named after Jenkins own mother Beverly, an animal lover and Glady's friend. In 2008, the Beverly Animal Shelter was designated a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Only animals that are too aggressive or that are terminal and in pain are humanely euthanized. The shelter utilizes local vets for medical care and advice for its animals. We do not euthanize an animal to make space, nor do we pick or choose "optimal" animals to take in. For this reason many animals may spend their entire life at our shelter. These are the special animals that many other shelters deem un-adoptable and would put down or not accept due to their behavioral, medical or just plain quirky conditions. For 48 years the BAS has operated entirely on generous donations from the public. The shelter takes in nearly 1000 cats and dogs each year, as well as small reptiles, and small animals. Because space is limited and the shelter is run almost entirely on donations, a donation is appreciated when turning in an animal to the shelters care. This donation helps provide food and supplies, vet care, the spay or neuter of the animal if not already done, as well as pay for the utilities, maintenance and repair of our facility. BAS is run on an absolute shoestring! We can not take every animal brought to the shelter, but we try! Please stop by the shelter and visit our animals and see what we are all about!

💔 365 days is not a milestone we want to celebrate. 💔

On October 31st, our sweet girl Maura will officially have spent ONE YEAR waiting for a home. 🐾

One year of watching other dogs come and go. One year of waking up in a kennel instead of a cozy home. One year of waiting for someone to finally choose HER.

And somehow, through it all, Maura hasn’t lost her spirit. ❤️

She’s a beautiful, playful, affectionate girl with so much love to give. She’s continued to grow, learn, and even surprise us along the way, showing us that there’s so much more to her than what you might see behind a kennel door.

We started our Home Before Halloween campaign hoping Maura would never have to reach this anniversary. And we’re not giving up on that hope. 🎃

Maura doesn’t need a perfect home. She needs the right home. Someone willing to give her a chance, get to know her, and see the wonderful dog we’ve come to love so much.

We have just a few weeks left to change her story.

🏡 Can we get Maura HOME before October 31st?

Even if you can’t adopt, you can help. Share her story. Tell a friend. Help us reach the person who’s been missing out on this incredible girl.

Let’s make October 31st the day Maura celebrates a new beginning, not a year in the shelter. 🧡
