The Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity founded in 2003 with the goal of transforming New York City into a community where no dogs or cats of reasonable health and temperament will be killed merely because they do not have homes. Driven by our ten-year strategic plan that outlined the organization's core objectives and key initiatives, the Alliance created strategic programs and services aimed at delivering on our goal of creating a no-kill community in NYC. These programs and services, coupled with the work and dedication of the more than 150 Alliance Participating Organizations that collaborated in our mission, achieved our goal. In 2019, ACC's live release rate is above 90% for the third consecutive year. Today, the Alliance continues to serve as a capacity-builder, a connector, and a hub for NYC animal welfare. We maintain our website and daily communications with pet owners, serving as a self-help desk for NYC residents who want to help animals, or who need help. We continue to provide limited services, resources, and guidance to local animal rescue groups and shelters; continue to work with the City, thinking critically and strategically to address animal welfare-related issues in our community; and continue to act as a consultant, advisor, and mentor in municipalities nationally.
