Areas Unwanted NYC Pets serves
We are a grassroots rescue founded in Flushing Queens by Betina Wassermann. After surviving a battle with cancer, Betina set out to try to make a difference ... and she has.
Unwanted NYC Pets has been up and running since 2011. We believe in taking on ONLY what we can handle. Handle means each animal we have has a FOSTER HOME and never put into boarding, at least 2 weeks in foster care before being adopted so we know what we are adopting out, extensive health checks and the proper surgery to ensure health.
We serve the tri-state area and will be expanding to GA and FL in the coming months.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
