NYC Second Chance Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) foster-based charitable organization. Our tax ID is 26-4835303.
Our Mission:
We practice responsible and innovative ways to reduce animal overpopulation in shelters, rescue and rehabilitate critically injured and neglected animals, and connect the community to services that enable animals to remain in their homes. Together we are advocates, rescuers, and educators. Together we make a difference. Why do we do what we do? Because they Matter.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

Our rescue has a network of volunteers that cover most of NY and the tri-state area. We rescue dogs and cats from "Death Row" at the local shelters and provide them with a Second Chance in life.
