Services

PAWS NY helps individuals care for their pets when physical or financial barriers prevent them from doing so on their own. Currently, we offer services in New York City.

You may qualify for our services if:
• You already have one or more pets
• You are a senior citizen, person with a disability, or someone recovering from an illness/injury who lives alone
• You don’t have friends/family nearby to help you when needed
• You have trouble with tasks like walking, getting pet food into your home, or bending down to clean the litter box or fill your pet’s food dish
• You can’t afford professional pet care

Our services:
