Adoptapalooza Union Square

What: The Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals is proud to present Adoptapalooza in partnership with the Petco Foundation!

Adopt a Pet!
Close to 300 dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and rabbits will be available for adoption
from more than 25 Alliance Participating Organizations. All animals for adoption
have been vaccinated and spayed or neutered. Adoption fees vary by group.

Prepare Your Pets for Emergencies!
* Have your dog or cat microchipped by Vetco. The first 50 microchips will be FREE, or only $15 after the first 50.
* Purchase a dog license (required by law in NYC) from the NYC Department of Health. Licenses are $8.50, or $34.00 for dogs who have not been spayed/neutered. (Checks, money orders, and credit/debit cards only. No cash accepted.)
* Learn how to prepare yourself and your pets for emergencies from representatives from New York City Emergency Management / Ready New York.
* Take home free, personalized pet ID tags, courtesy of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals.
