American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is a non-profit organization based in New York City, founded in 1866 by Henry Bergh. It is dedicated to preventing cruelty to animals and was the first humane organization to be granted legal authority to investigate and make arrests for crimes against animals. The ASPCA focuses on three primary areas: supporting pet parents and their pets, ensuring positive outcomes for at-risk animals, and assisting victims of animal cruelty. Through its nonviolent approaches, the organization aims to fulfill its mission of promoting animal welfare across the United States.
Pawsny is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting vulnerable New Yorkers who encounter challenges in caring for their pets due to physical and financial constraints. Founded in 2008, the organization focuses on supporting low-income older adults and individuals living with illness or disability. Pawsny offers a range of services, including volunteer dog walking, a pet pantry, veterinary care, and emergency pet care. The organization is operated by a team of experienced staff and a Board of Directors, all committed to ensuring that individuals in need can maintain their pet ownership without compromising their well-being.
