A happy weekend for pets in New York

Best Friends Super Adoption in New York, presented by BOBS from Skechers, at the Westchester County Center helped hundreds of pets find homes.

Even before the doors opened on Day One of the Best Friends Super Adoption in New York, presented by BOBS from Skechers®, it was clear this would be a very special weekend.

Thousands of people attended the June 2-3 event, which featured pets from participating rescue groups and shelters in the area. When the doors opened on Saturday at the Westchester County Center, a line of attendees was already waiting to meet adoptable pets. And by the end of the day, every cat and kitten from Animal Care Centers of NYC had found a home.

Hundreds of cats and dogs were adopted at the event, and that’s really something to celebrate ― because every time a homeless pet goes home, a space opens at the shelter or rescue group for another deserving pet.
