Animinal Care Center Pet Adoption Center

About

This Manhattan-based facility serves as New York City's open-admission animal shelter, welcoming pets regardless of age, breed, or health condition. Located in East Harlem, the center focuses on connecting rescued animals with permanent families through their adoption programs. They maintain an active presence both online and in the community, regularly hosting virtual orientation sessions for potential foster families. The organization operates comprehensive foster programs for various types of animals, including specialized orientations for cat fosterers and large dog fosterers. They extend their reach beyond the main facility through mobile adoption events held throughout the city's boroughs. Pet owners and animal lovers can support their mission through wish lists on major retail platforms and by participating in their volunteer ambassador program that helps spread awareness in local neighborhoods.
