New York

Our mission is "Giving Hope to the Hopeless." We save the toughest dogs to place; those with serious medical conditions, paralyzed dogs, deaf and blind dogs, severely emaciated dogs, dogs with neurological deficits & disease, dogs with injuries and orthopedic issues … the animals that nobody else wants; the dogs that would otherwise be euthanized.

I started NYC Teens for Animals when I was 12 years old as a way to inspire people to volunteer for rescues. As a volunteer myself, I wanted to post the animals I worked with through photography and videos to help them find homes and to raise money for their veterinary care. NYC Teens for Animals Inc is now a small, foster-based non-profit organization. My goals remain the same - to get homeless animals adopted into loving families. We raise money for vet care, which is our first priority. We also encourage people to learn about TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) to ensure that community cats lead healthier lives and to curb overpopulation.

Protectors of Paws & Claws strives to provide a source of safety for animals in a world where animal welfare is often overlooked. We aim to enhance the pet adoption experience for both humans and animals, ensuring that all non-human animals are placed in safe and loving hands. We are a charitable organization incorporated within New York. Our mission is to facilitate animal rescue by enhancing the adoption process for humans and their non-human companions. We are also committed to initiating the conversation about the role that race, culture, discrimination, and bias have in the pet world.

Best Friends East Coast Lifesaving Program works collaboratively with city shelters, local animal welfare organizations and passionate individuals to save the lives of pets in shelters across the East Coast.

Pets4Luv is an all-breed dog and cat rescue with our primary focus being on the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of those animals that are injured, ill, disabled, Senior and other types of special needs, whether it is a temporary condition or a lifelong one. We also focus on the education of these companion animal illnesses, medical conditions and disabilities to help dispel the misconceptions about these conditions. We hope, with this information more readily available to the public, to increase the chances of “non-perfect” animals finding their loving, forever family. We have a Stray/Feral assistance program to help sick & injured feral cats get the medical attention the need.

We rescue and re-home Abandoned animals from shelters and those surrendered by the community in New York and the island of Puerto Rico since 2008.

Our mission is to save the lives of dogs in desperate need while spreading public awareness against animal cruelty and overpopulation. Everyday we save vulnerable dogs from neglect, abuse, and euthanasia. We provide temporary safe foster homes and medical/emergency treatment to prepare these loving animals for their forever home. (This means we do not have a physical shelter location, and all of our dogs are in loving foster homes throughout the city.) Following a thorough – but hassle free – adoption process, we connect our dogs with loving, responsible, and committed permanent homes. Every dog is fully vetted and altered, micro-chipped, and vaccinated prior to finalization of adoption.Our commitment to our dogs goes beyond the adoption process, as we stress the importance of responsible pet ownership, and we educate our fosters, adopters, and community on what they can do to help dogs in need.

Rags to Riches Animal Rescue is a foster based animal rescue on Long Island, NY. One of our first priorities is to help alleviate our huge stray and feral cat problem locally so we mainly work with local trappers and shelters to get these poor kitties vetted and socialized. The more we can help locally, the more we can help in other areas.

We practice/promote trap-neuter-return and rehabilitate and re-home the friendly street cats and kittens we encounter during our trapping projects.
