Love Wanted gets the Celebrity Treatment

Love Wanted has a lot of events that go on every so often; there is never a shortage of animals in need of a home. This Saturday's event at Salem Church will have a special guest: Joel Silverman of Animal Planet's Good Dog U. I've never seen it, but I'm sure true animal lover's would get cable just to watch. Read more about Silverman and about the event here, thanks to the Brooklyn Eagle.

If you are interested, be at Salem Church, 450 67 Street (between 4th and 5th Avenues) on Saturday, June 6, at 11:30 AM.

Adopt a Pet from a Shelter Tomorrow


Salem Church, at 450 67th between 4th and 5th Avenues, is hosting the Love Wanted Adopt a Shelter Pet event tomorrow from 11:30 - 4:30. Considering the mild weather expected tomorrow, it would make a nice walk down to the northern-most reaches of Bay Ridge.

Adoptable animals are from North Shore Animal League and Animal Care and Control of NYC. There is an adoption fee, and proof of identification is required.

Black Lab Puppies Need a Home

I'm blushing due to the egg on my face. The information in the post below is not a hoax, but it's an outdated plea for help. The person who posted it on the list-serve didn't know that, and her heart was in the right place, as was my post. Still, it's embarrassing to not check out information fully before making it public. Sorry! Thankfully, we have more diligent members of list-serves and snopes.com to help us correct our faux pas.

On the other hand, they were rescued and now they are sprayed, bathed, de-wormed, and ready for adoption. The plea from the family who is housing them is below. Contact me with your name and information at bestviewinbrooklyn (at) yahoo (dot) com and I will forward it to the people who have the puppies.

from the email:

Scott (my friend) rescued 6 Black Lab (mix) puppies out of the middle of the road on Saturday. PLEASE help me find them homes - otherwise it's Animal Control - which means they only have 5 days.

We're bathed them, sprayed them for fleas and wormed them...but we can't keep them. They are currently in a kennel in my basement since I don't have a fence.

I've lost count of the number of rescue groups that I've contacted, only to be turned down due to no room.

Please check with every dog person you know to see if they want a puppy.
