Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: To support the dogs and cats in the community by promoting pet adoption of homeless animals, spay/neuter assistance to the public, and education programs to promote pet retention in animal loving families.
Programs: To accomplish its mission, the organization purchased a building located in long island city, queens and will be converting the space into an animal adoption center. Adoptable dogs and cats will receive a high level of care, and will be taught the skills needed to make transitioning into a home as seamless as possible, for them and their adopters. To do this, the center will be set up with rooms and not cages. The rooms will contain home furnishings, just as would be seen in a home environment. Dogs and cats are social creatures, and need playgroups, co-habitation, encouragement-based training techniques and classic conditioning for behavior modification. The adoption center will also be a destination for animal education in support of people in the community. By providing non-judgmental assistance to our neighbors on topics like animal care, low-cost to free spay and neuter surgeries, and animal advocacy, to prevent animals from being separated with their families. Animal retention is an under-emphasized yet vital component of animal rescue, and is necessary to help new york city become a 'no kill policy' city. As of december 31, 2015, the adoption center had not opened to the public and the organization's programs had not fully commenced.
