Shelter Free Rescue NY’s mission is to save, rehabilitate, and find forever loving homes for these animals, provide education and awareness about animal welfare, and promote responsible pet ownership.

We are currently a small home-based rescue, who is solely run by volunteers. What this means is in order to pull, rescue, and rehome a dog, we work with a team of volunteers who foster until we can find a forever home. We rely on our team of volunteers, fosters, adopters, and on donations in order to continue doing what we do. 

Dinamarie is the founder of Shelter Free Rescue, based out of Queens, NY. This rescue was originated in 2023 after years of volunteer work at other rescues because of her love and passion for all animals. With four rescues of her own and through years of being part of the rescue community, she saw firsthand how these animals need us to be their voice, protector, and savior. Animals are being surrendered, abused, neglected and in our city shelters euthanized daily, due to overcrowding and lack of funds.
