So sorry about your dog Michele. Thank you for thinking of us and we would be happy to accept your donation. You can stop by any day during open hours. <3

They do have kittens to adopt, but u have to check the website from time to time and be there very early on adoption days...picked up my lil Roze kitten finally and she has been a great sweetheart...good luck in finding yours!

Hi Paulina! You're welcome to come in and look at the cats but we only allow people interested in adopting to interact with the cats (just to prevent the cats from become over-stimulated or upset). If you have extra time, you could always sign up to volunteer with our center cats!

Hi! You're welcome to stop by and see the pets even if you're not ready to adopt. However, our adoption staff only allows interested adopters to interact with the pets in order to prevent them from becoming upset or over-stimulated.

Do u think I could go tomorrow?is their a few?

Thank you for thinking of us! We only rescue cats and dogs at this location so we would not be able to accept parrot donations. You could try the NYC Audobon or Wild Bird Fund!

Hi! We do not accept animal surrenders from the public. All public surrenders would go to New York Animal Care Centers (nycacc.org)

kitten adoptions are $125 unless there is a promotion!

Yes, there are adoption fees. Often though they will have events or promotions where fees are reduced or waived.

Over 12 but you can only start with cleaning. You have to be over 16 to do front desk and over 18 to handle animals

Thanks for your question! At the moment, we don't plans for any events in the next few weeks but we will be sure to post here as well as our website when we have upcoming plans!

Hi Joseph! Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us. Due to current circumstances surrounding COVID, all of our pets are in foster homes instead of the center. That means we are not in need of volunteers to walk dogs for the time being. If you'd be interested in helping in other ways you can check out our volunteer opportunities here: https://ny.bestfriends.org/get-involved/volunteer

Maybe try The Sato Project as they have been doing some great work in PR. https://www.thesatoproject.org/

No we don't have the capacity to accept surrenders at this time, we pull from Animal Care and Control. You can surrender your dog there

No appointment needed! You can just drop by and there will always be adorable pets looking for a home, awaiting your visit.

I have a pomerenian if you want I can I can give it to you

Call them

Please do not take pets especially cats to ACC. It is a kill shelter. My sister volunteers there and every Wednesday and Friday they put many kittens and cats to sleep. Heartbreaking..

Sometimes staff discretion

Facts I got my dog 1hr it took

Do you work there ??

Unfortunately we don't help with that. You can try care credit or creating a go fund me

They are a nonprofit organization, I don't believe they are set up for financial assistance. The fees for adoption go towards the care of the animals.

I couldn't say because at times swaps of dogs come regularly best you take a look they do got some great dogs hopefully you do find the dog ur looking for

We do not take pets from the public. To surrender a pet, please contact Animal Care Centers of NYC.

They always have pets for adoption at this location

They have adoptable dogs.

You can sign up on their website bestfriends.org and sign up to an orientation webinar

Hypoallergenic cats and dogs shed minimally. And shedding is usually what people with allergies react to .

They do NOT take pets from the public. Only from shelters they associate with. This Tyson person is giving you incorrect information.

They are mainly an adoption center so they take pets from shelters. They do not take rescued animals from the public, only from shelters they associate with.

They dont take pets directly from people only through rescue organizations they partner with

They dont board. But they could tell you somewhere that does, I'm sure.

Yes

Check the website often. The puppies get adopted fast.

Good question, there are a few answers to your question in my opinion and dealings with adoption centers since i have a rescue dog its my 3rd. They sometimes have puppies , might have pugs not sure. They rescue dogs that are abused or abandoned. So a pure bread like a pug might be tough. You might get a small pug mix. They ask you for suggested donations , so they can feed and look after the animals and provide a safe environment until they get adopted. This is why they have a fee. Sometimes a place might have free adoption on certain dates or times not sure about best friends. I did not adopt my dog there , only because when i was there i could not find a match. I found the place to be clean the staff knowledgeable, and the dogs and cats well looked after. There is a process of paper work you will fill out. Best thing is walk in and see what dogs are up for adoption. You can also go to their website and take a look at the dogs. Food and medicine come at a price , thats why

Its 250 for a dog over six months and 350 for a dog under six months

Ok.....now what is the question???

Shirley, you are asking people who have adopted from Best friends pet not the company. Go to their website and complain or call. We can just tell you about our experience.

Youd do best calling them

Wish I could help, no habla espanol

No teacup dogs. My daughter and I went today and they don't have any.

Have to be honest, French mastive, is a Dogue De Bordeaux?. I have had some French wine . But not affluent in French, but I take your word for it. Now to answer your question. I doubt you will find a French mastive at best friends pet adoption, since it's a rescue center and usually has mixed breeds for adoption. The breed in the mastive, French, Italian might be found at a breeder for those special kind of dogs . You could look online to see who has French mastive puppy's for sale , but to find one at this shelter the chances are slim and none. You could go online and see the dogs up for adoption. A rescue dog is a great dog. I have a pit mix. But if it's a mastive you want looks like a breeder or a pet store is your way to go I would look to buy from a breeder.

I am not sure. I adopted a two month old kitten and paid $125 because he was less than 6 months old. They have different adoption events and fees will vary.

Pet. Adoption. Center.

If you are not going to adopt a dog , I would say no . They might have puppies available but it would not be in the dogs best interest for you to play with the dog and just leave. Besides if the puppy got injured it would not bode well for the agency. They are open to all people who are serious about adopting a pet.

I would go online to find some other sites , plenty of legitimate rescue centers. Alot of them down south. They spend money on mailings to try to receive donations that was my understanding. But I get your point . Though I hear they are pretty good with the funds they get

Occasionally they do have promotions for seniors as well as holidays etc. There is a super adoption event coming up at the end of May where they will usually have reduced fees for certain pets.

They have free adoption events year round. Follow them on Facebook for updates.

The dogs they have vary as they are all rescues from the ACC. They occasionally do have puppies but there is usually a lot of interest in them. If you are interested in a specific type of dog, you can have them take your name down in case one comes in you would be alerted.

It depends on whether you are interested in a dog or cat and the age of the animal. The center runs events throughout the year where they have discounted prices. Also, occasionally animal will have a sponsor who has agreed to pay a portion of or all of the adoption fee. I'd recommend checking the website or contacting the center directly for most accurate information. They are running a Super Adoption event December 8th-10th where hundreds of animals will be available for adoption through a network of partner agencies, you should definitely check it out.

There aren't fixed prices. anyone interested in Adoption should visit BFAS Adoption Center

Dogs and cats, mo guinea pigs. Rabbits on occasion at Super Adoption events.

All volunteers must be at least 12 years old. Youth volunteers (12-17) cannot volunteer with dogs. Youth volunteers between 12-15 must have a parent/guardian volunteering with them at all times.
