This is Bean. She is an 8 year Shih Tzu who's deaf and was up for adoption at Animal Haven Shelter. She gave me serious pause for thought! But she was adopted by the end of the day Saturday. Yay for Bean!
Animal Haven is a fantastic shelter located on Centre Street at Broome. From their website: "Animal Haven is a nonprofit organization that finds homes for abandoned cats and dogs throughout the Tri-State area, and provides behavior intervention when needed to improve chances of adoption. Founded in 1967, we operate a limited admission shelter/adoption center in Manhattan and mobile adoption van. " They also have a volunteer program that requires just 2 hours a week! Once the show is open and I'm into a routine, I'm going to fill out the volunteer application which can be found here: Volunteer Page. Who's with me?!
Another great organization is The North Shore Animal League. Here is a description from their website: "North Shore Animal League America, headquartered in Port Washington, NY, is the largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization in the world. Since 1944, The Animal League's mission has been saving the lives of pets through adoption, rescue, spay/neuter and advocacy initiatives. Every year, the Animal League reaches across the country to rescue, nurture and adopt approximately 20,000 pets into happy and loving homes. To date, the Animal League has placed close to 1 million puppies, kittens, cats and dogs into carefully screened homes."
