This Manhattan-based animal shelter operates as the city's only open-admission facility, providing care and housing for thousands of animals annually. The organization rescues over 20,000 animals each year and maintains a comprehensive database of adoptable pets including cats, dogs, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Located in East Harlem, this nonprofit facility works under contract with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to serve the community's animal welfare needs. Pet owners can access multiple services including pet adoption, foster programs, and lost-and-found assistance for reuniting missing animals with their families. The shelter hosts mobile adoption events throughout the city on a first-come, first-served basis and offers virtual foster orientations for those interested in temporary pet care. The facility also maintains an active volunteer program, particularly seeking experienced handlers for large dogs, and provides emergency placement services for animals with urgent medical or behavioral needs through partnerships with rescue organizations.
