My story

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

Hugo the Hippo is a super sweet and energetic boy who would love to join your family. He enjoys going on walks, getting treats, and playing with humans and other dogs (including his friend, Neil the seal!). He likes a lot of attention, and would probably do best in a home where someone works from home, or can give him the attention he desires. He would also love to go to a home with a dog friend (but doesn't have to).

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.
