About

We are one of very few rescues who take in the most difficult medical cases. We do it because no one else will. Other rescues, the city’s Animal Control and our neighbors look to us for help and support. Over the years SCAR has saved thousands of animals (Over 8000 animals pulled from animal care and control alone since 1998).

We are a community based organization; we welcome you to spend some time at our facility. We are a family friendly place focused on educating pet owners and animal lovers about the needs and responsibilities of pet ownership. Our staff is always available to help with your questions about the health and maintenance of your pet as well as behavior and training issues. We strive to educate the public about respecting, understanding and coexisting with the natural wildlife of New York City through our programs and events. In conjunction with our licensed wildlife rehabilitators, we can inform the public on the way to handle situations involving wildlife as well as rehabilitating injured and orphaned animals. Our rescue took in over 2,000 animals in 2014, the most of any other private rescue in New York .
