Second Chance Rescue NYC

Rescue

Founded in 2009, NYC Second Chance Rescue has grown into a lifesaving organization committed to helping the animals who are most often overlooked. To date, we have saved more than 17,000 animals from overcrowded shelters, abandonment, neglect, abuse, and life-threatening medical circumstances.

Our work extends beyond traditional rescue. We partner with shelters and communities to help reduce euthanasia, provide critical medical and behavioral care, rehabilitate animals with complex needs, and challenge discrimination against specific breeds. We believe rescue must address both the immediate crisis and the larger systems that contribute to shelter overcrowding.

What makes NYC Second Chance Rescue unique is our commitment to the hardest-to-place animals; those who are medically complex, severely neglected, senior, large-breed, or otherwise at risk of being overlooked. At the same time, we work to keep pets with the families who love them by connecting people with resources and practical support before surrender becomes the only option.

We are a united force of rescuers, advocates, educators, volunteers, and community partners working toward a future where fewer animals enter shelters, fewer lives are lost, and every animal is given the chance they deserve.

Mission Statement

Together we are advocates, rescuers, and educators. Together we make a difference. Why do we do what we do? Because they Matter.
