Gotham City Kitties, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of abandoned and stray cats and kittens. We provide all necessary veterinary care and testing to insure the health and well-being of our rescues. All animals are vaccinated prior to adoption and those who are of age (6 months or older) are neutered. Adopters who choose kittens sign an agreement stating they will alter the animal at 6 months. No animal with a reasonable medical prognosis is euthanized at Gotham City Kitties because of behavior or disease.

Unleashed is an experiential leadership program for girls, empowering them to be social change agents, using animal rescue as their leadership laboratory.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world. Our organization was founded by Henry Bergh in 1866 on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans, and must be protected under the law. Headquartered in New York City, the ASPCA maintains a strong local presence, and with programs that extend our anti-cruelty mission across the country, we are recognized as a national animal welfare organization. We are a privately funded 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, and proud to boast more than 1 million supporters across the country.

We are a not for profit 5013(c) rescue organization providing medical care, spay/neuter, foster home for pets awaiting adoption. most pets are rescued before being euthanized at local shelters.

Shepherds' Hope Rescue was formed by two independent rescuers who forged an alliance to more effectively help our beloved breed. We are disturbed by the alarming increase of German Shepherd Dogs in the country's animal shelters and in neglectful situations. We are not a shelter nor do we have our own facility. As volunteers, we house our rescue dogs either in our own homes, foster homes if available, or board them with dog sitters or kennels until placed with their new families.

We are an IRC 501 (c)3 public charity, whose mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome companion animals whose welfare is otherwise at risk. We "specialize" in what some people call "special needs," while we consider the pets simply special--cats with only 3 legs, cats with a neurological condition that affects balance and coordination, dogs to be euthanized because of a remediable condition (broken leg, for instance), cats with contagious conditions who simply need treatment, etc. We rescue primarily from the NYCACC, the NYC shelter system, which has an obligation to receive every animal that crosses its threshold, and thus is overwhelmed with strays, owner surrenders, cruelty and eviction seizures, and more. We treat all treatable conditions, and find homes. We are all volunteers--no one is compensated for her or his time or efforts or skill--and we do it because of a profound love and respect for the animals.

NYC Shiba Rescue (NYCSR) is an all volunteer group dedicated to contributing to the quality of life of Shiba Inus in and around the New York City metropolitan area. To that end, NYCSR actively works to rescue Shiba Inus and Shiba Inu mixed breed dogs from dangerous environments and shelters in order to find them loving, permanent homes. We will, among other things, foster and evaluate Shiba Inus in order to prepare them for adoption and seek out proper adoptive homes for the dogs. NYCSR also promotes responsible dog ownership by educating the public in the selection, care and training of dogs.
