Bark Avenue Adopt-A-Thon 2017 In Carroll Park Another Great Success

Councilman Brad Lander and event organizer Marion Fiore

Let's hear a round of applause for Carroll Gardeners! Ten cats and about nine dogs found their forever home at yesterday's 'Bark Avenue Adopt-A-Thon' in Carroll Park.

The yearly event was as fun as ever, with Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C) and other organizations bringing lots of wonderful available animals to the park.This year’s theme for the Bark-a-thon was 'Vintage Travel!" First class canine passengers walked down a red-carpet to 'em-bark' on “Bark Airways.” Their final destination? A loving home.

A huge thank you to Douglass Elliman for sponsoring and to Marion Fiore for organizing the event. Her dedication and hard work is very much appreciated.
Marion provided us with a list of all the dogs that got adopted. (Sorry, the cats did not have names.)

Sugar Mutts:
Bandit- a spunky chihuahua
Chewy - a blue and brown eyed shitzu
Morgan - a pit puppy with 3 legs
Cinnamon - an adorable cinnamon concoction
