Animal Shelters & Rescue Groups in the NYC Area

New York City area animal shelters and rescue groups take in dogs and cats (and some take in other animals, such as rabbits, exotics, and birds) from the public, and/or pull animals from Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) as New Hope Partners. Each organization has an active adoption program to find homes for the animals in their care. Some of these organizations also have spay/neuter programs, and some help stem the overpopulation of stray and feral community cats in NYC through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs.
