    Animal Shelters in Brooklyn, NY

    Brooklyn has 22 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Kings County. About half are rescue organizations. Maspeth and Queens, both within about seven miles, have listings of their own. Between them there are dogs and cats of every age and size in Brooklyn, and the right one is rarely the one you set out looking for.

    Brooklyn has 22 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first.

    A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

    The Brooklyn listings all fall in Kings County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

    If nothing here suits, Maspeth, Queens and Ozone Park all have listings within about seven miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Some listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
