From the Letter from our Executive Director and Board Chair:

As the team at PAWS NY reflects on the past year, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the unwavering support of our generous community. Your commitment to our mission of keeping New Yorkers in need together with their beloved pets has made all the difference. Together, we have truly helped to improve the lives of all we serve. That is why we are pleased to present this year’s Annual Report with a summary of all the impactful initiatives that we were able to provide to the NYC community due to your generosity.

This past year was a busy one for PAWS NY, as we continued to expand our programs and reach across New York City. We hired Elia Rangel as a new Intake Coordinator to help with outreach in the outer boroughs, and Adrianna Ruiz joined the team as Foster Administrator, helping with Hospital Respite foster cases and launching the new Substance Use Recovery Program.An infographic pulled from the Annual Report that says "This fiscal year, PAWS NY... - Helped 322 people and 413 pets through our various programs and services - Volunteers made a total of 16,200 visits to help clients & pets during the year - Provided 2,524 days of foster care for 53 pets - Donated 7,061 pounds of pet food and supplies to our clients and pets - Coordinated 96 vet visits at a cost of $37,096, for a retail value of $43.076" Included around the infographic are illustrations of people interacting with dogs and cats.

Additionally, PAWS NY once again hosted our annual Barks & Blooms Spring Benefit at the Monarch Rooftop, raising more than $168,000 thanks to the generosity of our community and a special gift from the ASPCA. We also participated in more than 16 community and volunteer service events across NYC, debuted an animated short created by Klick Health called The Bridge, and saw some great press coverage from PIX11 News, All for Animals TV / 1010WINS, and more.

On behalf of the staff and board at PAWS NY, we thank each and every one of you for your support and partnership. None of our work would be possible without you and our incredible network, and we are proud of all that has been achieved. You inspire us every day!
