Puppies tumbled, played, and ran into visitors’ arms at a pop-up living room and backyard playpen in the middle of Times Square for National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day. Best Friends Animal Society, a leading animal welfare organization working to end the operation of kill shelters, set up the event with dozens of adoptable pups looking for a forever home.

Many happy New Yorkers turn out to the Times Square playpen, cooing and extending their arms out to the rambunctious pups. Adoptees, Razzel and Reeses were quick to be adopted as the event started by families excitedly welcoming a new member into their homes. Kicking off their “Bring Love Home” campaign, the organization did everything they could to make the adoption process easy by waiving any adoption fees for the day. Puppies and their new owners got to pose on the pop-up living room couch to get a quick family photo before going off to their new homes.

Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society shared, “Pets don’t belong in shelters, they belong at home. Our ‘Bring Love Home’ campaign is designed to bring awareness to dogs and cats still being killed in U.S. shelters simply because they don’t have safe places to call home.”

If you missed their pop-up event, Best Friends Society has many adoptable cats and dogs at the Best Friends Pet Adoption Center located in SoHo, 307 W Broadway. They also have a wealth of resources for adoptable animals, with accurate data sets for shelter animals across the United States with over 7,900 rescue groups and shelters and partner adoption organizations found on their website.
