New York, NY — Friday, October 8, 2010 —
Despite its disappointment with the American Kennel Club's (AKC) decision to forbid adoptable
dogs and puppies from local animal rescue groups and shelters from being on the premises at this month's «Meet the Breeds» event at the Javit's Center, the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals says it does not want to discourage New York animal lovers from attending the event and gaining the benefits of its educational components, particularly with regard to
responsible pet
ownership.
