Frequently asked questions
What is an animal sanctuary?
Sanctuaries give animals a permanent home instead of placing them for adoption. Many care for farm animals, horses, exotic animals or animals that cannot be rehomed.
How many animal sanctuaries are in New York?
We list 38 animal sanctuaries in New York. Listed when the source records a sanctuary or the official name says sanctuary.
Why might an organization be missing from this list?
We only list an organization here when the source data, the official name or a verified correction confirms it. If you know one that belongs on this page, open its listing and use "Suggest a correction", or add it through our submission form.
How does adopting work?
Start on the shelter's or rescue's own website: most post their adoptable animals there and on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet. Visit or call to meet an animal, then fill in an adoption application. Expect to show a photo ID, and if you rent, proof that your landlord allows pets. The adoption fee usually covers spay or neuter surgery, first vaccinations and a microchip. Fees vary by organization and by animal, so ask the shelter directly.
