The effort is intended to raise awareness about pet adoption, and particularly Petco’s adoption program which, they say, has placed more than 3 million animals in new homes.
The event starts at 4pm near the Naumberg Bandshell in Central Park. Counting begins at 5pm, and in order to be counted, you must have paperwork proving that your doggie was adopted from a shelter/rescue organization.
They’re going to have to gather at least 250 adopted dogs in order to set the record, so if you don’t have to be at work this afternoon, grab your shelter dog and make your way to the park!
