Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, (R–Bay Ridge) is joining with Pet Lovers United Together as One (PLUTO) and hosting a pet adoption event at the Third Avenue Festival on Oct. 2, from noon to 3 pm.
“As the owner of two dogs, I know how much love and joy animals can bring to a family,” said the pooch-loving legislator. “The animals rescued by PLUTO are desperately in need of a loving home to call their own.”
Adopting pets doesn’t just benefit animals, it brings a loyal companions into your family and your life, she said.
