FREE BRONX PET FOOD PANTRY + WELLNESS & VACCINE CLINIC!

On June 13th, more than 500 families joined us for our free Bronx Pet Pantry. The turnout made one thing incredibly clear: families need accessible resources that help them care for their pets and keep them at home.

On Saturday, September 19, we’ll be back in the Bronx, coming together to support pet owners and help pets in need. Join @animalfarmfoundation, @bronxdoghaven, @bronxcommunitycats, and @votersforanimalrights, in collaboration with @nycacc, for a FREE Community Pet Food Pantry + Wellness & Vaccine Clinic in the Bronx.

As the cost of living continues to rise, too many families are being forced to make impossible choices. Providing pet food, supplies, preventative veterinary care, and other resources can make the difference between a family keeping the pet they love and having to surrender them to an already overwhelmed shelter system.

A very special THANK YOU to our incredible sponsors, @stellaandchewys and @honeycarepet.global whose generous support is helping keep pets happy, healthy, out of shelters, and at home with the families who love them.

No one should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pets. Let’s keep families together. 💙

FREE SERVICES & RESOURCES INCLUDE:

• Dog & Cat Food
• Pet Supplies
• Vaccinations
• Wellness Services
• Community Resources

Calling all pups & their humans
Our FREE structured pack walk is happening September 20th.
Perfect for beginners, all breeds, and every energy level.
Come vibe with the pack
Instead of dogs pulling, playing, or being chaotic, the goal is to have all dogs walking in a controlled, relaxed way side by side in a group following the same direction and energy.
It helps dogs:
Build confidence
Improve leash skills
Stay calm around other dogs
Listen better to their handler
For owners, it’s a chance to learn how to communicate clearly with your dog and handle real-life situations (like passing other dogs) in a structured, supportive environment.

GRIEF SUCKS. YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT ALONE. 🖤

Come hang with fellow pet parents who get it for an honest, grounding evening dedicated to the pets we’ve loved, lost, or are preparing to lose.

Led by Pet Grief Coach Shalini, we’ll slow down, remember our beloved pets, make space for the heartbreak, talk about the very real ways grief can show up—along with coping tools to help you move through grief.

Share if you want. Listen if you’d rather.
Bring a journal if you’re into that shit.
We’ll provide the drinks. 🐾

You are invited to the New York Premiere of the feature documentary, “The New Gold Standard,” co-Hosted by SPCA International and The New Gold Standard.

Did you know we still use dogs in research?!

What if medical research could be more predictive, more effective, and better for both people and animals?

The New Gold Standard takes audiences inside leading research institutions — including Harvard and Stanford — to explore a scientific shift already underway: the rise of human-based technologies many scientists believe are transforming how medicines are discovered, tested, and approved.

Featuring Senator Cory Booker, Senator Rand Paul, NIH’s Dr. Nicole Kleinstreuer, and researchers and industry leaders from some of the world’s most advanced labs, the film examines the scientific, regulatory, and ethical questions shaping the future of biomedical research — at a moment when policymakers and scientists alike are rethinking how new medicines get made.

Each year, more than 42,000 dogs, 106,000 monkeys, and an estimated 100 million mice and rats are used in U.S. research labs. Most Americans don’t know the scale. This film asks what could change if we did.
