LOW COST BOARDING SERVICES

If you are temporarily in a difficult situation such as being evicted, moving, are the victim of a disaster such as a fire or domestic abuse, or must temporarily be hospitalized or leave town, but want to keep your companion animal, Animal Care & Control of New York City’s Safety Net Program may be able to help you with our low cost boarding services. You may also want to board your pet if you absolutely cannot keep him or her and need time to locate a new loving home, you have
rescued a homeless animal and need to board him or her while you search for a permanent home, or any other reason you need temporary boarding. The Safety Net Program has very affordable rates available at participating boarding facilities in NYC.  

Whereas regular rates for boarding animals can run between $15 and $40 per day, Safety  Net boarding facilities offer low cost boarding for your dog or cat for only $11-$15 per day for dogs (regardless of the size), and $8 per day for cats.

Payment upfront for the amount of time your pet will be boarded must be made
at the time you bring your animal to one of our participating boarding kennels.  In order to be able to provide such a low cost rate we must be able to guarantee that the low cost fee will be paid on time and that the animal will be reclaimed within a reasonable amount of time. We will discuss this with you.

How to get low-cost boarding services: Call 917-468-2938 for information or talk to a Safety Net Representative at our shelters. You will be asked to complete the BOARDING APPLICATION and BOARDING AGREEMENT and we will answer any questions you have. If approved and there is space, you can then begin boarding. You must provide transportation for your animal to the participating boarding kennel. If you cannot, we can try to arrange transport your pet for a donation. Also ask us about our other low cost or free services that can help you and your pet.
