THIS SUNDAY: Adoption Event At District Dog
This item was brought to my attention the guys at Dog Habitat. This upcoming Sunday, February 27, they will be conducting an adoption event at their sister business: District Dog. As the above flier states, there will be pups ranging from “tiny to gigantic”. To give you, dear readers, a clearer idea of exactly what this entails (horrible pun completely intended) I am pleased as punch to introduce you to a few pups who will be at this event and are in search of good homes. Maybe yours?
Kiki, who was rescued from a puppy mill
Ella, who was rescued from Brooklyn Animal Care & Control
The name of this handsome little guy eludes me. However, he and his siblings were rescued from a puppy mill in Virginia.
And last, but hardly least, Misty.
If this lass looks familiar to some of you this is because she was found at McGolrick Park a couple weeks ago.
