The Mayor's Alliance kicked off its 2006 adoption festival season on April 1, when dogs and cats and, yes, even rabbits wooed potential adopters at St. Paul the Apostle Church in Manhattan. In what is fast becoming a tradition, the Confirmation Class at the church hosted another successful Mayor's Alliance/Maddie's Pet Adoption Festival in the church's spacious auditorium (an ideal venue for cats and rabbits), while adoptable canine cuties from several area shelters and rescue groups patrolled the sidewalk out front on the lookout for loving adopters.
On April 23, adoptable dogs and cats — and Maddie! — braved the cold and rain to seek out adopters at the Mayor's Alliance/Maddie's Adoption Festival in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Despite the weather conditions, people came out to meet the animals and have their dogs microchipped at the low-cost microchipping clinic. (Such clinics are featured at every park adoption event.)
