Social Tees Animal Rescue is a non-profit (501c3 ) no-kill rescue in NYC finding forever homes for abandoned dogs and cats. We are a foster-based, community oriented organization founded on the principles of responsible pet ownership and creating a supportive environment for our staff and volunteers. Ensuring access to thorough veterinary treatment and the wellbeing of our animals are our highest priorities, and we pride ourselves in matching each animal with the family best able to meet its needs for life. All animals we rescue are neutered; up to date on core vaccines at the time of adoption; microchipped; tested; treated with defleaing, deworming, and demiting medication as necessary; and more. Founded in 1991, Social Tees Animal Rescue is a longstanding member of the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC Animals and a participating shelter under the City of New York’s Animal Care and Control New Hope Program, which places animals in local no-kill shelters. We work closely with the ASPCA and many awesome animal loving companies that help us raise awareness about dogs & cats in need. We have also partnered with rescue groups in Tennessee and California, where the euthanasia rates are higher than they are in the northeast, via which we rescue and find forever homes for hundreds of animals annually. Social Tees Animal Rescue relies almost entirely on benevolent donations from the public, 100 percent of which are used directly to save animals’ lives.
Please note that almost all of our animals are in foster homes, NOT onsite at our shelter. If you would like to meet one you see here, please complete an adoption application. Once it’s approved, we can work on setting you up with a meeting.
