"The borough president partnered with Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), Badass Animal Rescue, Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition, Flatbush Cats , and Hearts & Bones Rescue to connect residents with dogs and cats looking for their "furever" homes, as animal shelters across the city struggle with critical capacity. Despite severe allergies to cats and dogs, Reynoso made the rounds, meeting and greeting puppies and kittens."
""I love them, so you make the sacrifices in the hopes that [the animals] can find their forever home," Reynoso told Brooklyn Paper. The event focused not only on adoption and making pet ownership more accessible, but also on highlighting the work of animal rescue organizations like Badass Animal Rescue, which saves dogs from kill shelters in other states and brings them to New York City in hopes of finding them loving homes."
An Adopt-A-Shelter Animal event took place Oct. 25 on the lawn outside Brooklyn Borough Hall showcasing adoptable dogs and cats. Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso partnered with Animal Care Centers of NYC, the ASPCA, Badass Animal Rescue, Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition, Flatbush Cats, and Hearts & Bones Rescue to connect residents with pets. The event aimed to increase adoptions, make pet ownership more accessible, and relieve critical shelter capacity across the city. Badass Animal Rescue transports dogs from high-kill southern shelters to New York for adoption. Reynoso met animals despite severe allergies and emphasized supporting rescues to enable more inter-state saves.
