If you’re thinking of adopting a new best friend this month, come to the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals® POP-UP Adoption Shop, a.k.a., the RS POP-UP Adoption Shop at the Roger Smith Hotel, 501 Lexington Avenue.
Throughout November, dogs and cats from a variety of Mayor’s Alliance participating organizations will be waiting to meet you at this convenient Midtown location, where you’ll not only have the pleasure of falling in love but also conveniently shop for some of the finest quality pet products available. Adopt your new pet, and spoil your pet, all in a single stop! Ten percent of your product purchases at the shop will be donated to the shelter or rescue group featured that day.
Plus!…Every Wednesday evening (except November 23) from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., the Mayor’s Alliance adoption van, a gift from the Petco Foundation, will be parked curbside in front of the shop with more animals for adoption to complement a wine reception inside the store.
