Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, Inc.

Wonderful organization. They support small animal rescue nonprofits throughout the city. Hold big events to draw people in who are thinking about getting a pet but may not know how to go about it. Super nice staff, very caring.

I can't imagine the New York City animal care community without the Mayor's Alliance For NYC's Animals. I have been a volunteer with the organization since April 2010 and I have had the great pleasure of being a part of so many of their inspiring and caring efforts.

The Alliance is active in so many animal related areas that had very little resources before their arrival over 10 years ago - from promoting adoptions and organizing adoption events, to transporting animals to places that will increase their chances of finding homes, to helping pet owners to find affordable pet care, to helping to get lost pets back to their homes through microchipping and lost and found initiatives, to promoting TNR to help deal with the overpopulation of feral cats (which leads to an overwhelming number of cats in the shelter system), to working towards making NYC a no-kill community.

Being an umbrella organization for more than 150 shelters and rescue groups in NYC is no easy task but it is such a necessary role. As I said, I can't imagine the NYC animal care community without the efforts of the Alliance!

The Alliance has been helping to make NYC a no kill community since 2003. They have worked collaboratively with ACC, the ASPCA, and a multitude of other organizations to make a real difference for NYC's animals. The negative reviews posted by cincigirl, greendream716, and Sharon I. are sadly aimed at the wrong organization. The Alliance is not the city shelter, they do not have a shelter, and do not euthanize animals. They are an organization that provides much needed transportation for rescues and shelters, they provide TNR support through the Feral Cat Initiative, and they host huge events for the other rescue organizations they work with.

I have been a volunteer for several years with the Mayor's Alliance for NYC Animal (since 2003). I'm proud to be a volunteer and can attest to the hard word and dedication of the staff. They are the most passionate and compassionate people I know! Every single of their programs benefit NYC animals (TNR, Adoption Events, Microchipping, etc.). I stand behind the organization 100%.

I have been banned from their facebook page because I have asked questions regarding their transparency and true commitment to helping the animals in NYC. I have also asked questions as to why there is not more emphasis on helping people keep their animals such as changing the NYC ban, more help with spay/neuter, counseling on behavioral issues, pet food banks, help with vet care, etc. I am unable to give a "zero" star rating.

They kill healthy dogs daily. They let injured dogs suffer without care. They are more concerned with money and a false public image than actually helping animals. Owners surrendering animals because of health/cost issues when there are supposedly programs in place to help them. NYC ACC NEEDS REAL REFORM NOW. NOT LIES AND EMPTY PROMISES>

The Mayor's Alliance allows the killing of adoptable dogs with kennel cough and cats with URI so that the NYC ACC can report 0% healthy animals killed. That is wrong and until that practice is stopped you cannot call yourself NO KILL, because that would be a lie. It would not let me submit 0stars.

The Mayor's Alliance does a spectacular job of coordinating and sharing the resources of way over a hundred animal rescue groups in NYC. Hosting interesting events, educating the public about microchipping, spaying and neutering and finding permanent and foster homes for animals in need as well as providing medical care for animals who might otherwise be considered unadoptable and euthanized because of their medical problems.
Staff and volunteers are wonderful people who work like galley slaves to help all the animals in need.

This organization coordinates efforts between New York animal charities. Thanks to the Alliance, Animal Care & Control (city shelter) can share animals up for adoption with the ASPCA or Bide-A-Wee and coordinate adoption and/or spay/neuter events. The Alliance also promotes shelters and adopting from shelters and facilitates people understanding pet ownership responsibilities and pets' medical needs. It is a wonderful organization and I wish more cities had such a centralized, dedicated place for all the various animal non-profits to share and help one another help animals.
