WHY BUY WHILE OTHERS DIE?
Welcome to the Friends of the Yonkers Animal Shelter website. We are a 501 (3)© non-profit organization created to assist in saving stray or owner-surrendered dogs and cats. These animals are in need of a forever home. Not only is this a more humane alternative, but it also is a blessing for families who want a pet but are unable to pay outrageous pet store prices.

For more information, phone 914-924-0708

In respond to the recent article regarding the banishment of 3 board members of the Friends of the Yonkers Animal Shelter from the Yonkers Animal Shelter, we would like to set the record straight.

Any rescues in need of homechecks done in the Westchester, lower Rockland, and Putnam counties (NY) or any rescue group interested in assistance with transporting please contact Julie or Dora-Lynn.

Having done this for a number of years with certain rescue groups, we want to extend this courtesy to anyone else who might be interested and could use the help.

Dora-Lynn and Julie
Friends of the Yonkers Animal Shelter

Tips for a Healthier and Happier Pet:
  • Have your pets spayed or neutered. This prevents disease and overbreeding.
  • Make sure your pet has an identification tag.
  • Enroll your pet in behavioral training classes.
  • Make sure your pet has a complete check up at least once a year.
  • Give them plenty of love and affection, and they'll do the same!
