National Crisis Response Canines
When someone is hurting, there are things we can doCrisis is the breaking of bonds. In crisis, we are forcefully separated from the people and places that mean the most to us. We are hurt, we are alone and we are not safe. The things, feelings, emotions we have that connect us to one another are thrown into turmoil, disarray and distortion. Our mission is to harness the power of the human+canine bond to inspire resilience and recovery in people affected by crisis, trauma or disaster, and the responders who help them.There is never a charge for our services. NATIONAL Crisis Response Canines works alongside the responders, community organizations, law enforcement, schools, NGO's and counselors already providing social services & humanitarian aid in our communities.
Animal Haven
Animal Haven is a nonprofit organization that finds homes for abandoned cats and dogs throughout the New York City area and beyond, and provides behavior intervention when needed to improve chances of adoption. Founded in 1967, we operate a shelter/adoption center in Manhattan. We also provide programs that enhance the bond between animals and people.
Ahimsa House Inc.
In families affected by domestic violence, pets are also at risk. Abusers threaten, injure, and kill family pets to terrorize others in the home--yet most domestic violence shelters are unable to allow pets. Nearly 50% of individuals delay escaping the abuse because of concern about their pets. Ahimsa House, meaning "nonviolence," is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the links between domestic violence and animal abuse. Ahimsa House provides emergency pet safehousing, vet care, safety planning, legal advocacy, a 24-hour crisis line, outreach, and more to help the human and animal victims of domestic violence reach safety together. Ahimsa House serves all victims of domestic violence regardless of sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, or immigration status.
