    Animal Shelters in New York, NY

    New York has 46 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations. The largest group are rescue organizations. NYC and New York City, both within about two miles, have listings of their own. Between them there are dogs and cats of every age and size in New York, and the right one is rarely the one you set out looking for.

    New York has 46 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

    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 listings fall across New York County and Essex County, so it is worth checking which one a shelter serves before travelling.

    If nothing here suits, NYC, New York City and Long Island City all have listings within about two miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Most 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.
