During the pandemic, animal shelters saw a dramatic influx of adoptions, but as life returns to normal, and inflation rates continue to soar, many of those animals are sadly being returned.

There will be wonderful shelters and foster-based organizations participating from all across the tristate to facilitate adoption applications and to share their wisdom about these precious pooches.

On Tuesday, November 8th at 4pm, the public is invited to come down to the Big Top at Damrosch Park in Lincoln Center for this heartfelt adoption event! Admission is free of charge and guests will be treated to complimentary refreshments. In addition to finding your forever best friend, you will also be invited to stay for an exclusive Big Apple Circus’ final dress rehearsal at 7:00 pm before the grand opening performance on November 11th.
