Schoolhouse Rescue is part of the BROOME-TIOGA BOCES Animal Science program at the Binghamton, NY campus.
This program provides temporary housing for rescue animals available for adoption.
The animals are cared for primarily by the students in the Animal Science class.
High school and adult students provide daily care for all of the animals under the supervision of the class
instructors. In addition to performing the usual cleaning and feeding of the animals, students learn and
practice grooming skills and some obedience commands on the animals on a regular basis.
Since the animals will be used for student training in basic
animal care, overly aggressive or unsocialable animals are usually not
accepted. But once accepted, the animals are socialized
through interaction with the many Animal Science students. The dogs in
the kennel are exposed to many new things while in the care of
Schoolhouse Rescue staff and students.

All adopters must fill out an
Adoption Application.
Fees may vary depending on the type of animal, if it's a dog, whether it is a purebred or mixed breed,
how long the animal has been at the shelter, whether it has required medical care, etc.
Feel free to contact us for more information concerning the adoption fee for a specific dog or any other animal listed.
Note: Since we are primarily a high school vocational instruction environment,
we cannot accomodate "casual tours" of the facility. If you are seriously interested in adopting a specific animal,
please contact us during normal school hours so we can arrange a mutually convenient time for you to visit.
Adoption fees are payable in cash, certified check or money order only.
Sorry but we cannot accept personal checks.
Adopters must be willing to drive to Binghamton, NY.
All dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Dogs are also up to date on shots and wormed.
