Adoption Event in NYC, at Pet Health on Upper West Side

I love this pet store. They are an actual community place. Not only with events, but with their commitment to espousing good pet nutrition, as well as their willingness to manage an adoption wall for you to post flyers in their store (read: Olive and Dixie).

This coming Saturday, there will be an adoption event featuring dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies. Here is Eve's Adoption Policy and Application.

Eve's Sanctuary Animal Rescue

DATE: Saturday, January 7, 2012 TIME: 12 Noon to 4 PM
LOCATION: PetHealthStore, 440 Amsterdam Ave @ 81st Street

New York, New York 10024

212-595-4200 and 888-735-PETS

June is Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month

I know I gravitate towards dogs but the felines among us need a home, too.

Check out ASPCA, who has the goods.

They have a nice feature on their website called "Find a Shelter." You can also just wander down to your neighborhood shelter and see what you see. I've gotten my last four dogs that way. Best decision of my life!

Mobile Adoption Near You... in New York City that is

The wonderful ASPCA has a mobile adoption van that goes into different areas to encourage adoption within the five boroughs of New York City. I think this is a wonderful idea. Sadly, this is only in the New York City area but at least it's happening.

From their site:

All of our animals are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and come with a leash or carrier, as well as a certificate for free follow-up veterinary care at the ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. Adoption fees range from $75 to $200. Our knowledgeable adoption counselors are on hand to provide all the information you need and help you find the purrfect match.

For more information about our Mobile Adoption schedule, please call (212) 876-7700 ext. 4120.
