Here what we suggest:
Adopt a Pet!
Looking to expand your family? We can think of no better way to celebrate I Love NYC Pets Month than by adopting a homeless cat, dog, or other pet from a shelter or rescue group. Visit www.AnimalAllianceNYC.org/adopt for a calendar of adoption events in February, a listing of regular adoption hours and locations for many of our participating shelters and rescue groups, and other pet adoption resources and tips.

Share Your Photos in Our I Love NYC Pets Month Photo Contest
If your animal companion the quintessential, loveable Little New Yorker, then share a photo of your pet with us this month for a chance to win a fun prize! This photo contest runs through February 28, 2012.
How to Enter
Submit a photo of your pet (you can be in the photo, too, if you’d like) and a brief caption that describes why you think your pet is the quintessential, loveable Little New Yorker. (Does she like bagels? Is he fond of elbowing his way through rush hour crowds? You get the idea…)
Throughout February, you, your friends, and all Mayor’s Alliance Facebook fans can vote for their favorite photos each day.
After the contest closes at 11:59 p.m. on February 28, we’ll determine the three photos that received the most votes, and will announce the winners on our website and blog. All three winners will be featured in a special article that will appear on the Mayor’s Alliance website and blog in March, and the winning photos will appear on our website’s home page.
Each winner will also receive two limited edition Mayor’s Alliance I Love NYC Pets t-shirts from SocialPakt — you pick the sizes.
Purchase a Limited Edition I Love NYC Pets T-Shirt
Wear your love for your pet year-round!
