About
501(c)(3) no-kill shelter since 1998 (NYS RR160). Rare Brooklyn org with a physical, walk-in facility. Takes cats + dogs + reptiles/birds/small mammals. STATUS FLAG (re-verified 2026-08-26): historically took the hardest medical cases 'because no one else will,' but their own site says they're SCALING DOWN the critical-care program due to finances and moving toward only already-adoptable intake - confirm before routing a critical medical case. (A former second location at 551 39th St no longer appears on their own contact page - use 153 E 3rd St.) Intake: Adopt via phone/email Intake: open 7 days 11am-7pm Intake: walk-ins welcome Other channel: 153 East 3rd Street, Brooklyn 11218
501(c)(3) no-kill (EIN 35-2244558). One of the very few Brooklyn rescues with an actual WALK-IN shelter - two sites: 153 East 3rd St (Windsor Terrace) 11218 and 551 39th St (Sunset Park) 11232, open 7 days 11am-7pm. Takes dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, small mammals + works with licensed wildlife rehabbers. Historically THE org for the hardest medical cases, but has announced it is SCALING DOWN its critical-care program (may only take already-adoptable animals) - confirm current intake before referring a medical case. 5-borough adopters complete a dog-license application at adoption. Intake: walk in daily 11am-7pm
501(c)(3) no-kill shelter serving NYC since 1998; NYS Dept of Agriculture & Markets reg. RR160. Takes in 2,000+ animals/yr - the most of any private NY rescue - including reptiles, birds and small mammals surrendered or brought by the ACC van (snakes, iguanas, hamsters, birds, fish). Founder Sean Casey is a NYS-licensed Assistant Wildlife Rehabilitator, so injured/orphaned wildlife (squirrels, opossums, ducks, geese) also route here. Open 7 days 11am-7pm; the single most cross-cutting in-city option for non-cat/dog animals. Intake: /adopt Intake: /before-adopting Intake: visit 153 East 3rd St, Brooklyn Other channel: adoptables via Petango petango.com/nyanimalrescue
