Shelters Get in Training: Central Park Event

by Amy Sacks, New York Daily News

Saturday, July 26, 2003

It all adds up to millions of pets ending up at animal shelters across the country. In New York City alone, an estimated 45,000 animals are euthanized at the city shelter every year.

Anyone can lend the city a hand in its fight against animal overpopulation. Today, from noon to 4 p.m., gaggles of lovable cats and dogs from scores of city groups will be up for adoption at the Cat and Dog Adoption Event and Pet Care Festival in the Central Park Bandshell (at 72nd St.).

The event, sponsored by the Mayor's Alliance, a coalition of 40 adoption groups in collaboration with the city, will also feature a low-cost microchipping clinic, coupons for discount pet services, and a raffle for a chance to win a customized pet video of your companion of choice.

Along with a Dixieland band, vets, groomers and animal behaviorists will be on hand to answer questions on proper pet care.

"It's important for people to know how to take care of their pets after adopting, to ensure the animals don't end up back in the shelter," said alliance President Jane Hoffman.
