My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet our very own seal, Neil! He came to us from a local shelter after being found as a stray. Neil is truly a dream dog.

He is playful and energetic, but knows how to sleep and cuddle when the time is right. He doesn't mind being left alone, and is very food motivated, so he has been good at training. Neil has never met someone he doesn't like, and loves to crawl into any open laps (much like a cat!). He likes other dogs, but can live alone as well. He enjoys a long walk followed by a good cuddle session, after which he loves to settle in for a snooze.

Neil was rescued with dental issues and is in need of surgery. In lieu of an adoption fee, we would be thrilled for a potential adopter to provide a larger adoption donation and/or assistance crowdsourcing funds towards their necessary vet bills if possible.

More about this rescue

Our rescue group was formed in December 2007, but all our Board Members have had extensive experience rescuing and working with abandoned animals. We often work with other rescue organizations to find appropriate and safe foster and adoptive homes for our pet clients. We regularly go to areas with abandoned animals and collect them. The animals are taken to a licensed veterinarian examined, treated and spayed or neutered. Every effort is made to work with the animal and our foster and adoptive families to find a suitable forever home.

For those animals who are truly wild and feral, we release the animal in a safe and secure location after it has recovered from its medical treatment. We also work with certified wildlife rehabilitators to rescue injured and orphaned wildlife. Our organization is focused on improving the welfare of the abandoned animals in need of help in Brooklyn. In furthering that goal, our resources are focused on the animals.

Aside from a few minimal overhead costs such as our website and phone services, our entire budget is spent on animal care such as medical and food costs.
