Mayor's Alliance Breed Rescue Groups to Attend AKC Event in NYC

Meet Ethyl at the Long Island Bulldog Rescue table at AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Day. She is challenging someone to adopt her!

On Saturday, September 17, four Alliance Participating Organizations and members of the New York Breed Rescue Network (a subgroup of the Mayor's Alliance) will participate in the AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Day.

Waggytail Rescue (Chihuahuas, etc.), Long Island Bulldog Rescue, French Bulldog Connection Rescue, and Adopt A Boxer Rescue will be on hand with adoptable dogs and information about their breeds.

Also featured will be a Mayor's Alliance low-cost microchipping clinic ($25), information about many breeds, obedience and agility demonstrations…health, grooming, and safety demonstrations, and plenty more. Come meet the breeds, learn about responsible dog ownership, and enjoy activities for the kids.

The event, a project of the American Kennel Club, will run from 11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m., in Madison Square Park, 23rd Street and Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.

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