THE PROBLEM
Tragically, millions of animals end up in shleters each year due to :
Divorce
Economic Problem
Small Behavior Problem
Death
Unregistered Pet
Unfortunately, approximately 4-6 million of these perfectly wonderful homeless pets are killed each year in America's shelters. An estimated 80% of the animals that enter shelters are adoptable, or could be with the right care and treatment. We believe it's a tough fight, but we can make this senseless killing a thing of the past.

OUR DAILY
URGENT NEEDS
MEDICAL CARE
The majority of animals that are rescued by us from death row are in need of extra care for mostly manageble and curable conditions. With a little love and care they bounce back to their natural happy self.
FOSTER
Each year, our foster parents save numerous lives from kill shelters. The foster program is designed to remove the animal from ultimate death and allow more time to get adopted into a permanent loving home.
NUTRITION
One of the vital parts of nurturing a shelter pet back to health is proper nutrition. We need to provide a healthy diet to revitalize the animal's
mental and physical
health.
TRAINING
Training is not an option, it is
an obligation. It is not something to be done only once they start causing problems, it is how to prevent problems from starting. Teach them how to be good dogs.
UNWANTED NYC PETS is a 100% volunteer organization dedicated to saving as many lives as possible from kill shelters across the US. We feel that every animal has the potential for a forever home . Once we rescue an animal, we often discover that they have special needs. Some have medical conditions that require extra care and rehabilitation some need help with behavior challenges, others are recovering from abusive situations. The love and individual care provided by UNWANTED NYC PETS enables our animals to eventually be placed in the best forever homes for both animal and owner.
