Visit Our Adoption Offices On Saturday, June 15 from 11am-8pm, As We Make Pet Adoption A Dynamic Option

Looking for a new pet? And the right match? Come to the ASPCA on June 15th and meet your perfect new pet. The ASPCA, in conjunction with the Iams Company, have put together a program called "Lifelong Friends" that is designed to pair you with a pet that is ideal for your lifestyle and home. Each year millions of pets are relinquished to shelters nationwide because the pet was a wrong fit for a household.

The ASPCA will host the day of fun called "The K9 Matchmaking Game." The day will include a fashion show, a freestyle demonstration, agility exhibitions, and training advice from Hollywood's premier animal trainer, Joel Silverman.

The "match-making" event aims to increase permanent pet adoptions by matching animals and people according to lifestyle, experience and needs. Two-thirds of the 7.5 million pets adopted from shelters each year are returned "because they weren't the right match," says Silverman, "They just didn't fit the person's lifestyle."

For more information, call ASPCA adoptions at (212) 876-7700 x4120. Or visit us on June 15th at 424 E. 92nd Street, NYC.
