How to Investigate Animal Cruelty in NY State – A Manual of Procedures
Appendix II
Animal Shelters & Humane Agencies in New York State
On the following pages, we have provided a table of humane organizations in New York State. The organizations are listed alphabetically by county.
Contact them for assistance when you are investigating animal cruelty cases. Some of them may have animal cruelty investigators that can assist you with your investigation, but this is not something you should expect. When calling for assistance, be sure to ask for the shelter director or manager.
Some of the organizations may be able to hold seized animals. Contact the individual facility to determine the type of animals the facility can accommodate. If they cannot, they may know an alternate organization that can. They may also be able to provide you with names of people who are willing to foster care animals. Information in this table is up-to-date as of June 18, 2022, and is subject to change.
IMPORTANT: Before placing an animal at a facility or in foster care, always inspect the facilities. Not all shelters, unfortunately, are able to maintain high standards.
