Our reliable partners offer free and low-cost high quality health services to our furry friends.
New York City Dog License
Is your dog a real New Yorker? All dogs in NYC are required by law to be licensed and have their tags on their collar at all times. Violation of these laws could result in fines. Please click here to learn more about how to get your dog licensed. If you live in other areas, please check with your local government to see if you need to obtain a dog license.
ASPCA Spay/Neuter Mobile Clinics
The ASPCA offers free and low-cost high quality spay/neuter surgery on our Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinics that travel to many New York City neighborhoods! Recognizing that many of the most serious overpopulation and animal health crises arise in neighborhoods with limited access to veterinary care and pet wellness resources, the ASPCA brings subsidized spay/neuter services directly to such communities.

Instavet is the largest veterinary house call referral service in NYC. We partner with established local vets to set up in-home appointments that are stress-free for both owner and pet. This is a great alternative to traditional in-office visits for rescue dogs who may be nervous, sick or anxious when traveling, and busy owners whose schedules don't let them attend regular business hours. And we are offering a special discount to In Our Hands adopters- 50% off their first appointment! When booking an appointment, use code IOHR99 and select "pay later". $10 will also be donated back to IOHR to keep saving more pets!
