New York Breed Rescue Network APOs
The New York Breed Rescue Network (NYBRN) is a sub-coalition within the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals of Alliance Participating Organizations (APOs) that have chosen to concentrate on the placement of purebred (or nearly pure) dogs and cats. These groups view puppymills, petshops, and irresponsible breeders as the problem, and believe that by combining their efforts toward a common goal, they will make a real difference.
