This November, the ASPCA’s® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) mobile adoption program is hosting and co-hosting several adoption events around New York City.
The ASPCA encourages all New Yorkers and friends who are interested in adopting an animal to visit these events.
