A home for the holidays

Santa and a bunch of homeless dogs wearing “Adopt Me” vests paraded along 5th Ave today to promote holiday adoptions. Shown are Balou, a two year old Chihuahua and Jim, five year old terrier. They're both available at the Animal Care & Control at the Manhattan shelter! The NYCACC euthanizes thousands of dogs each year because they can’t find them homes. These adorable, sweet dogs need rescuing fast.

To a rescued dog your are the world. If you're ready for the commitment, your work will be rewarded a 1000 times over! We cannot express the love and joy Buddy has brought into our lives.

NYers who want to give an abandoned pet a home for the holidays can also visit the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals and Petfinder.
