Councilman Robert Holden hosted a pet adoption event to unite some furry friends with happy owners over the weekend.
Holden, a longtime animal welfare advocate, held the adoption event at Juniper Valley Park on Saturday, May 15.
The councilman partnered with Puppy Kitty NYC, an all-volunteer rescue group, and North Shore Animal League America, a no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization based in Port Washington, to hold the adoption event in City Council District 30.
“There were plenty of fur-ever friends available at our latest pet adoption event,” Holden wrote on a social media post.
Holden also took to social media to share images of community members hugging their new cats and dogs.
A proud cat owner of Rocky, Holden called on the City Council to establish a committee to protect animals in New York City in January.
