Adopt NY Adopt NY

Adopt NY is a league of rescue groups working to make New York No Kill. We provide a large-scale marketing network for 45 rescue groups (and counting) through a devoted (www.AdoptNY.org) which curre ... ntly features 2,000 adoptable dogs and cats and a growing Facebook presence (www.facebook.com/adoptny). By holding large-scale adoption events in and around NYC, we’ve been able to introduce many New Yorkers to their newest furry family members. Our Facebook page (facebook.com/adoptny) grows by over 150 new supporters per week, and we use this platform to raise awareness for shelter reform in NYC, and to promote those thousands of animals listed on our website. We intend to show people that there is nothing quite like the lifelong bond you form when you save a life and adopt an animal. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, we’ve helped our rescue groups recover and save more homeless animals in the storm’s aftermath by raising over $25,000, which we used to distribute many thousands of pounds of dog and cat food and supplies to those in need. We’ve enabled our rescue groups to save more by finding them over 800 foster home applications in the week following the storm. Read more
