We really like the thorough application AMA required, and we were very excited to hear we had a qualifying appointment. The facility houses a small amount of pets and is very clean and well maintained. All the pets have wonderful care. Jovanna walked us thoroughly through the adoption phases as our pup of choice was so young we will be foster to adopt parents until our pup "Brooklyn" will be neutered. The process is 4 part in our case, application,video interview, meet and greet, and foster to adopt!! AMA will be forever a special adoption facility for us! Thank you for all your help and making the adoption process very seamless

These babies have the best food, care and fashion

I volunteer here and I am astonished by the amount of love and care provided by the staff, admin and volunteers. This place is amazing. Every single person gives their all to the animals. Hugs, best food, just talking to the animals, walking them, feeding, fostering, taking to the appointments. The dogs and cats get an enormous amout of care and love. They are so well taken care of. I am their loyalest fan!

We recently had the pleasure of adopting our baby Billy from AMA Animal Rescue. Billy is a puppy and was about to be euthanized by his previous owner for all the wrong reasons. The Angels at AMA came to the rescue and saved his life! We had an unbelievable experience with AMA. The owners and staff are some of the most professional and passionate people we have ever meet. They are extremely thorough when if came to the adoption process and want nothing but the best for the animals they rescue. Their facility in Brooklyn is super clean and the animals they have on the premises are very well taken care of. If you are looking to rescue a Cat or Dog, AMA is the place to go. If you want to just donate to them, AMA needs your help! They take only the extreme cases and these cases cost the most money. The cases of extreme neglect, abuse and when society has given up on these poor animals, AMA does not! Please follow them on Facebook and Instagram and you will see the wonderful and important work AMA is doing. So consider donating to them today! Angels for Mistreated Animals are doing wonderful things to help our dog and cat crisis. They are true angels, caring for those who do not have a voice, caring for those that cannot care for themselves. They are making significant strides, one poor mistreated animal at a time.

Pancakes

These are incredible people doing all they can to help animals. I'm impressed with their level of care, management, and how they run their operations. As a foster parent for Pancakes, I can say with certainty that every animal under their care is well taken care of. They have excellent customer service, people skills, and follow-through.

If you live anywhere in NYC and are looking to adopt...GO TO AMA! This was an incredible adopting experience. They truly care so much about their rescues and want to make sure they end up in a fantastic home with owners who will provide them with the best life. I initially reached out to AMA after finding them through Yelp in December 2017. My parents decided to get my younger sister a rescue chihuahua and AMA had one named Pablo up for adoption at the time. I spoke with own of the founders, Anna about the next steps in the adoption process. They were so involved in making sure we were a good fit to have him in our lives. He was badly abused and neglected prior to ending in the hands of AMA so he needed a patient family that was willing to work with his issues and fear of nearly all people. They came to our home to ensure it was safe for a dog to live in, had us interact with him around them, foster him for a set period of time before giving us the go ahead to officially adopt our fur baby. A year and a half later, we still update them on Pablo's new (& very spoiled) life. Everything they do for animals is so incredible and I would recommend them to anyone that wants to adopt. Thank you AMA for bringing Pablo into our lives, our family is now complete!

My girlfriend and I adopted 13 year old senior dog. This shelter takes the BEST care of animals. He is so happy and the best dog. We are thankful and encourage others to help AMA. Senior dogs are so calm and well-trained. AMA has the best senior dogs and we could tell they were truly taken care of. Cannot thank you enough!

AMA helped to rescue Fei from a South Korean dog meat farm, where she was a breeder.
Skipper Chong W.

Our family adopted Fei from AMA recently and it was a great experience. Our volunteer coordinator Claire, even with her busy schedule, was always helpful and responsive -- just a text away. We cannot thank them enough for allowing us to adopt this wonderful Korean Jindo. Fei was rescued from South Korea, from a dog meat farm, where she was a breeder and, at the age of 1 1/2 yrs, has already had at least two litters of puppies. While she's fixed now, it was clear that when we first met her that she wanted a good forever home. For instance, Fei wrapped her paws around my legs the instant I came through the front door. Probably also helpful that we speak Korean and she is so eager to please. While we had some question marks about Fei (or any dog for that matter) and they would be around our toddler, we were able to establish limits and influence behavior very quickly -- AMA being a support every step of the way. AMA also made the home visits so easy -- as was the adoption process, standard and nothing intrusive or out of the ordinary. Along the way, they were helpful with their vet partner in Brooklyn -- where we dealt with a bout of giardia -- and we talked about training and lifestyle considerations. I would highly recommend them be your first stop for adopting. Score out of Five: Friendliness: Five stars! Customer Service: Five stars! Ease of Adoption Process: Five stars! Would I ever recommend them? Absolutely!

Viola my first foster, pulled from a kill shelter by AMA Animal Rescue
Uri K.

AMA Animal Rescue is a wonderful organization founded by two lovely young women who are dedicated to saving animals. I initially volunteered to foster a dog named Viola who had been abused all her life but pulled from a kill shelter by AMA. Mariya (one of the founder) was very patient with all my questions and always supportive, responding to my many frequent texts as Viola was very sick. AMA did its best to save her life but sadly she passed away. Throughout the whole process I witnessed how much Mariya loved these animals and I am grateful for the opportunity to have given Viola a loving, safe home during the last month of her life. I ended up fostering another dog who AMA rescued from a terrible condition. I fell in love with her and ended up adopting my second foster with AMA. The adoption process was very smooth. Overall, AMA is wonderful and I cannot help but admire the volunteers for their tireless dedication to saving animals.

Faust is all ready for All Hallows Eve!!

I love that they all have freedom to roam and play with each other in the large room within the shelter. While visiting, we were able to get a clear sense of each cat's personality by the way the interacted with each other and my partner and me. This little guy was the biggest mush, and we learned that Justine saved him and his siblings from near death by saving his mamma. She told us, "this guy has never had  bad day in his life."

NDLB is an incredible 501(c) (3) non-profit and their global mission of rescuing dogs and cats from immense suffering and complete abandonment, along with their exceptional care and concern for each survivor (no matter the gravity of each animal's injuries), is nothing short of outstanding. The dog we happened to adopt is a Japanese Akita Inu and happens to go by the name Romeo because he happened to be saved from slaughter on Valentine's Day (on February 14, 2020). The founder of NDLB , Jeff Beri, and his crew actually risked their lives twice to save our dog. Once (due to the strict Covid-19 Restrictions in China at that time and a second time to challenge the people who were about to slaughter him). I personally found all of the NDLB staff I interfaced with during the adoption process very personable and easy to connect with. More importantly, I found the staff demonstrated great care and concern for their animals throughout the adoption process. While waiting for Romeo's freedom flight to New York, we received multiple videos and photo's along with ongoing communication from the NDLB Chinese staff who were with him daily. The New York staff made sure I (along with my husband), understood all the possible challenges that came with adopting a dog from overseas and wanted to make sure we were up for this type of challenge. All I can say is Romeo has completely changed our family's life. Our family over the years has had three dogs. Romeo was our first overseas adoption, by far, he is the most considerate dog we have ever had the pleasure of owning, and is always looking out for our well-being. One last positive has been, over the past months, being able to maintain on going contact with Romeo's team in China, and being able to send photos and videos of him here having all sorts of fun in the USA. (See Romeo enjoying sunbathing below).

The down side is you cannot be with your cat during their euthanasia - this is a bad thing.

One other thing: I did use the ladies room while there and the hallways smell so horrendous. There is no reason for this. They need to have and should have a proper cleaner for the floors.

I initially came to adopt a kitten I had rescued, but sadly received the heartbreaking news that his health had declined. The staff allowed me to see him and say goodbye, and their empathy in that moment meant more than I can express. After spending some time interacting with the cats there, another little one chose me, and now she is coming home with me. Thank you to the entire team for the care, patience, and love you show every day. I am truly grateful for both the support during a very emotional moment and for helping me bring home my new family member.
