Animal Shelters
And Rescue

Pet overpopulation is caused by abandonment, lack of funds, cruelty and improper medical care. The New York ASPCA is committed to helping animals in Queens and throughout the City that have been abandoned, born on the street or are being mistreated. Should you want to adopt a pet, give up a pet or report any form of animal cruelty, here are some organizations and numbers you can call.
