If you don’t live in the tri-state area, but you’re still interested in enjoying the spring weather with a new furry friend, we also have animals available for adoption in Columbus, Ohio, Asheville, North Carolina and Los Angeles. You can also visit your local shelter or our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC!

If you’re currently unable to adopt but could provide temporary care in your home, please consider becoming a foster caregiver! Cats and dogs greatly benefit from living in foster homes instead of a shelter environment.
