The Bloomberg administration will begin a push for more animal adoptions – hosting adoption fairs in city parks for the first time, administration officials said yesterday.
Details remain to be worked out, but an agreement signed by the Center for Animal Care and Control and the Mayor’s Alliance for New York City’s Animals will bring pet adoptions fairs to parks around the five boroughs.
Other city agencies – such as the health department – will also take part. “As a result of this historic agreement, New York City’s public spaces will soon be a showcase for all the wonderful little four-footed New Yorkers who want nothing more than the opportunity to be someone’s new best friend,” said Jane Hoffman, president of the alliance.
