TRIBECA — Let's go Mets pets!
Rescue dogs suited up in Mets gear Tuesday afternoon to celebrate the team's first World Series bid in 15 years — and to bring attention to pet adoption.
A variety of dogs, most of which are looking for a home, gathered in TriBeCa, along Broadway near City Hall, for what organizers called the first "World Series Puppy Parade".
This sweet 2-year-old pup, Dolly, is a Mets fan, and is up for adoption.
The pups only strutted their stuff for a couple of blocks, but organizers said that was enough to get their message across — dogs looking for a home were coming out to help root for the home team.
Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, a pet rescue organization, and Suffolk County SPCA co-sponsored the parade.
"We really want to raise awareness about all the dogs in New York City that need a home," said Jackie O'Sullivan, a co-founder of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC. "This just seemed like a fun way to get the word out."
The parade was also supported by a new TriBeCa-based pet shelter, Shelter Chic, which recently opened at 79 Chambers St.
For more information about adopting any of the pets in the parade, or other pets, head to Rescue Dogs Rock NYC.
