About Rescue NYC

We're on a mission to rescue, protect, and rehome animals in need across New York City's five boroughs.

Every day, thousands of animals face hunger, injury, neglect, and homelessness on the streets of NYC. Rescue NYC works hand-in-hand with local shelters, volunteers, and advocates to give these animals a second chance. Our efforts go beyond rescue — we focus on rehabilitation, community education, and building lasting connections between animals and loving adopters.

Whether it's a stray kitten in Queens, a senior dog in the Bronx, or a litter of puppies in Brooklyn, every life matters to us. With your help, we ensure they're not forgotten.
