LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT T
his year we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Mayor’s Alliance, and the eighth year in our ten-year strategic plan to transform New York City
into a no-kill community. We continued to drive down euthanasia at Animal
Care & Control of New York City (AC&C), while intake at AC&C continued to decline. In 2012, intake and euthanasia reached historic lows, and for the first time in AC&C’s history, euthanasia fell well below 10,000, to 8,252. Since 2003, through our robust community collaboration among 100-plus Maddie’s Pet

Our success would not have been possible were it not for the substantial financial support provided by Maddie’s Fund®, and the ongoing commitment Alliance President Jane Hoffman cofounded the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals in 2003, with the goal of ending the killing of healthy and treatable animals in NYC shelters.
of funds and resources by the ASPCA, one of our founding members. Our ability to sustain and build those programs that have the greatest impact in
saving lives relies upon the generosity and commitment of caring individuals and businesses that recognize the importance of our mission and value the results we have achieved. Some of our supporters donate regularly to specific programs, such as our Wheels of Hope transport program, our PVF Medical & Boarding Fund, or our NYC Feral Cat Initiative. Others give generously to support our overall efforts, relying upon us to put their valued gift to use where it is most needed. Today, ten years into our journey, we are heartened and humbled by the progress we have made with the help of our supporters. We invite you to join us in our journey and share with us the unqualified satisfaction that can only come from saving a precious life.

Vision
Establish New York City as a community where no dog or cat of reasonable health and temperament is killed merely because he or she does not have a home.
Mission
In cooperation with the City of New York, the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals seeks to establish partnerships with nonprofit animal organizations to develop creative solutions to deal with issues of animal care and control. Through our multi-year program, we will help these animal advocacy groups reach their highest potential to effectively place and spay/neuter New York City’s dogs and cats.

Wheels of Hope Since 2005, more than 56,000 animals have journeyed toward a new future in our Wheels of Hope transport vehicles.

The Foundation also has provided grant funding for Alliance large adoption events, including Adoptapalooza, and training efforts.
