Art Dogs and Cats?

 A Tail at a Time partners with Pet Health Store on the Upper Westside. Pet Health shares their space every other Saturday and every Thursday so we can have adoption events.  The store and their employees have a wealth of information and knowledge regarding pet health; the best foods for your pet. They are committed to promoting the adoption of rescued cats and dogs. We are fortunate enough to be a recipient of a fundraiser they are having this fall.

   The Art Dogs & Cats of NY is a benefit exhibition of animal friends hand-painted by New York’s most exciting emerging artists. These unique, life-size statues of felines and canines will be auctioned on October 21st to raise money and awareness for five local animal rescue organizations. In 2009 close to 4500 dogs and 9000 cats were euthanized in NYC. The Art Dogs and Cats of NY is a celebration of those groups who work tirelessly to find loving homes for so many of New York’s homeless animals. The twelve Art Dogs & Cats will be on rotating exhibition at Pet Health Store (440 Amsterdam Ave. at 81st) from September 8th to October 20th. Come see The Art Dogs & Cats of NY and support animal rescue!

Walk to help homeless animals

On  Sunday Sept 26th A Tail at a Time will be joining Best Friends Animal Society for Strut your Mutt. The 1.8 mile walk will begin and end at Pier 84 on the Hudson River. Time is at 8:30 a.m. This is located near the Intrepid on W 44th. Not only is this a great fundraiser it also is a festival of doggie activities! 

       Belly Rub Hub (free doggie massages to participating pooches),
       Downward Dog (you and your best friend can practice your Dogi moves) 

       Canine Cafe (free yummy treats from local bakeries).

Plus don't miss training demos, contests, games, photo opps, pet psychic, food, music and more!

Our team, the dog pack, are looking for walkers. If you don't feel like waking up at the crack of dawn (8 am) then be one of our sponsors by becoming a dog dozer or a cat napper. Donate as little as 10.00. Every dollar helps! 

Did you know that $5.00  can feed 5 cats or dogs for a day?

$25.00 is enough to get a cat or dog fixed. In NYC over population is a major problem. You may not see it but in certain areas of the city there are cats and dogs that are thrown out like the garbage once they go into heat. Eventually them and their babies land at the Animal Care and Control. The ACC has to take every animal that comes to their door. Last year approximately 15,000 pets were euthanised. They were killed. 

Come have some fun with us for a great cause!
