UPCOMING EVENTS
NYCHA Hammel Houses Pet Supplies Pop Up
We are super excited to be partnering with the NYCHA Hammel Houses manager, Lisa, for a pop up event for the animals and people of Hammels where we will be giving out free pet food, supplies and vaccines to residents who have cats and dogs
This initiative is part of our continued commitment to supporting pet families who may be experiencing socio-economic challenges. By helping families care for their beloved animals, we’re working to prevent unnecessary surrenders, keep households whole, and reduce strain on an already overcrowded, resource-limited shelter system by tackling one of the issues that force many families to make the difficult decision of surrendering.
To receive supplies, you must live in Hammel Houses.
If you’d like to donate to help families receive free pet supplies during the holiday, please see our wishlist HERE.
Helping Lost Animals 101 Workshop
Want to help Rockaway’s animals? Attend our free workshop on rescuing lost pets–demos, resources & prizes. Turn compassion into action!
Want to make a difference for lost animals in Rockaway?
Join us for Helping Lost Animals 101, a hands-on workshop hosted by Zion’s Mission and Sasha’s Mission. Whether you’ve walked past a roaming dog, spotted a scared cat under a car, or simply want to know what to do before a situation arises, this workshop will give you the resources to take action.
You’ll learn how to tell the difference between a stray, abandoned, or lost pet, how to safely approach or contain an animal, and what immediate steps to take to reunite them with their family—or get them the help they need.
Professional animal rescuers with 20+ years of experience will guide you through real-world demos, simple tools anyone can use, and the essential safety basics every community member should know.
This is a chance to become part of the solution. Together we can reduce suffering, reconnect families, and strengthen our neighborhood’s role as a compassionate, prepared community.
