A new animal shelter is coming to Queens after a city councilman introduced a bill in 2014 mandating a full-service center in the every borough.

Councilman Paul Vallone is applauding Mayor deBlasio's 2017 Executive budget that includes 10 million dollars for new animal shelters in Queens and the Bronx . 

According to the mayor, 14,000 of the city's 35,000 cats and dogs are in those two boroughs. 

However they currently only have “receiving centers" which Vallone says don't provide the necessary veterinary care or adoption services available at the full-service shelters in the other boroughs. 

"It's like a drop and run nobody knows what happens. You know it's a tiny little office. There's no care. There's no medical facility. There's no adoption facility. There's no educational component.  There's nothing and then that poor animal has to be shipped to another borough" said Vallone

The mayor says the new shelters will offer a full range of services, including adoptions.
