Thank You NYC Pet



NYC Pet Helps McCarren Park Dog Run Raise $5,000 at Shopping for Dogs!

NYC Pet asked the dog run how much more it needed to raise for the drainage project and made sure we raised it!

THANK YOU to George, Sally, and Peter--and all the staff--at NYC Pet for making this happen.

Thank you to everyone who shopped for their dog or cat that day, who bought a raffle ticket, made a donation, or bought a can of food for BARC. We delivered over half a dozen cases of dog and cat food to the shelter.

New Bench & A Big THANK YOU


A Big THANK YOU for Billy (Oscar) for designing & building our newest and, I would say, most appealing bench in the large run. Of course, a big thanks to Terrance (Gabriel) for helping out with the building, Paul (Moo) for the much needed wrench to put it together, Nachshon (Ziggy) for driving the bench to the run, and Bear's owner for carrying it into the run & helping to put it together.

Great team effort!

Billy & his team will be making another bench for the large run and one or two smaller benches for the small run. There is still time to donate to underwrite the cost of the construction of these benches or for the upcoming big dig out project...Please go to McDogRun.org and click on the Donate button to make a donation using PayPal.

All money donated goes directly to these projects.

THANKS!
