According to Clair, the "Pets Alive" no-kill animal shelter that she helps run in the Town of Wallkill may have to close its doors because it owes nearly $50,000 in back taxes. Without the money, Clair says some 200 animals that she's saved from being killed may ultimately wind up being put to sleep, rather than put into a new home.

The necessary paperwork to maintain the organization's non-profit status was neither signed nor returned to town hall.

Efforts to reach Town of Wallkill Supervisor John Ward for comment Wednesday were unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, Clair says the foreclosure notices keep coming. She says now all she can hope for is that her shelter is given a second chance at correcting some paper work, the same way she gives her pets a second chance at living.
