Rescue FAQs

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.
