PawSafe Animal Rescue exists to provide a better life for adoptable companion animals without homes and to assist in the effort to limit the overpopulation of these animals through a low kill methodology. PawSafe Animal Rescue tirelessly strives for and envisions the day where every adoptable companion animal has a loving, responsible home, where no animal will suffer from abuse, neglect or ignorance.
We look forward to a society that no longer views adoptable companion animals as a disposable commodity and people responsibly spay or neuter their animals to put an end to the overpopulation that exists today.

The Bronxville Pug Walk
Midland Avenue,
Bronxville, NY
Pugs and their people meet up for a walk in Bronxville every Sunday. Visit website
We started this walk (back in 2003-and we joined Meetup in 2005) because we saw so many pugs in the Bronxville village and surrounding areas. Come and meet some really great people & join the coolest-weekly pug walk around!
*Remember, "It's all about the pug"! Just a note: Once owned by Tibetan monks, pugs made their way to Europe with the Dutch East India Company in the 1700s?the rest is history. Today, pugs are one of the most recognizable and popular breeds in the world. The pug is a great charmer, intelligent, even tempered with a lively and happy disposition. They are very affectionate and make rewarding and amusing companions. Once you have owned one pug, more are sure to follow!

Zani's Furry Friends is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to rescuing companion animals from New York City's shelters where, unfortunately, they are at significant risk for euthanasia due to overcrowding. Helping the animals we save, their rescue also creates space at the shelter—thus giving another animal an opportunity to await a chance for adoption or rescue, saving yet another precious life.
We do not have a shelter or boarding facility, but instead rely upon foster homes to shelter and nurture our furry friends until a loving forever home is found. See some of our beautiful, loving adoptables http://www.zanisfurryfriends.org/adoptable.pets.html

Weekly Carriage Horse Cruelty Protest in New York City. Week after week, we bear witness to the suffering and the exploitation of the carriage horses. Look at them. This is not the kind of horse that should be dragging a carriage.....through traffic and under horrible street conditions.
We have watched as the horses are roughly handled and mistreated. We have watched week after week as the drivers break the law with impunity, without correction or reprimand.
Activists do not want to spend our Sundays bearing witness to this exploitation. But we must, lest their suffering go without witness. Join us. Literature and signs will be provided. Just bring a loud voice and a passion to speak out for the horses. For more information contact: Win Animal Rights winanimalrights@optonline.net or call: 1-646-267-9934

For over 100 years, the Humane Society of New York has been a presence in New York City, caring for animals in need when illness, injury or homelessness strikes. In 1904 we were founded to protect the city's horses against abuse. Members fought for laws to punish negligent owners and place watering troughs in streets and parks. As funds allowed the Society expanded to include a free medical clinic and a small adoption center for cats and dogs. Today our hospital and our Vladimir Horowitz and Wanda Toscanini Horowitz Adoption Center help more than 30,000 dogs and cats annually, and their numbers continue to grow.Visit http://www.humanesocietyny.org/

Keeper Talks are scheduled on a day-by-day basis. Check the board next to the wall map in the Main Lobby for details.
A walrus sucks herring out of a giant straw, a sea otter plays a toy retrieve game for a scrumptious prize, and penguins bob for fish. Please note that feeding times are subject to change on a daily basis, based on the animals' needs. Check the schedule at the Aquarium's main entrance to confirm times.
Translate for a penguin.What are the penguins braying about? It’s likely they're either saying “Here I am!” “Why’d you do that!” or “Hello, friend!” Do the octopus wave? The giant Pacific octopus is an eight-armed hunter and master of camouflage who uses the suction cups of his tentacles to grab prey.
Discover the real Mr. Moms. For seahorses, it is the males that carry the babies. With tails entwined, the female seahorse deposits her eggs into her mate’s pouch.
Saving Penguins: The Wildlife Conservation Society saves penguins and their habitats, which are threatened by pollution—such as from oil spills—and coastal development. WCS conservationists also work to prevent excessive penguin egg and guano collection, and to create sustainable alternatives to fishing when it imperils the birds’ main food sources. http://www.nyaquarium.com/contact-us.aspx

Dogs, Man's best friend plays an important role on our Inpatient Rehabilitation Units. The Therapeutic Recreation department at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital works closely with the Volunteer Department, The Delta Society and the Good Dog Foundation to provide teams of trained dogs to visit patients as part of a therapeutic intervention.
Dogs are now learning to be facilitators in therapeutic settings. Research on the health benefits of animals is extensive and the results are being put to good use. They are shown to increase social and verbal interaction, to help maintain function and improve ability to perform activities of daily living among the elderly.
They has also been shown to decrease loneliness in residents of long term care facilities, enhances relaxation, and the most striking finding is that it lowers blood pressure.
Dogs can give someone a reason to take a walk, improve balance, retrieve objects, sit for a good brushing, or just provide companionship, non-judgmental support, and a fun-loving attitude. We hope to welcome many more visits from our new friends and old friends alike! Locations, numbers: http://nyp.org/services/rehabmed/contact.html
