French kisses in Bryant Park | thepupdiary.com

The Taste of France came to Bryant Park this past weekend and you know what that means. Frenchie kisses from French Bulldog rescue pups! The French Bulldog Rescue Network was on hand with a doggy kissing booth and some very adorable pups. The rescue network, a volunteer-based group, rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes French Bulldogs in need.

Le Taste of France featured special events and dozens of booths with food, wine, travel information, beauty products, and even a hot air balloon! One doggy highlight was the French Bulldog fashion show on the big stage.

Bow wow WOW for Broadway Barks | thepupdiary.com

15 Jul

We headed to Shubert Alley Saturday afternoon to check out the 15th annual Broadway Barks pet adoption event. We went early because it was hot outside and the event tends to get very crowded with people looking to adopt animals and meet Broadway stars.

Shubert Alley gets ready for Broadway Barks

Founded by Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore, Broadway Barks has seen hundreds of animals find forever homes through this annual event. Animal shelters and rescue groups from the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals line the Alley and part of 45th Street with adoption information tables and adoptable animals. Mom was approached several times to see if we were available for adoption. Nope! But we both did have similar starts as shelter pups looking for homes! We wanted to spend the afternoon at the Stella & Chewy’s table looking for treats!

Bernadette Peters signs our book

On Sunday, while shopping for dinner at our local pet shop, we met a doggy who had been adopted the day before at the event. He was so cute and had a sad story with a happy ending. Someone had left him in Brooklyn tied to a tree. Thankfully some kind folks found him and took him to BARC Shelter where he got care before his adoption. So happy he found his forever home! We’ll bark to that!!

10 reasons to adopt a dog at Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days | thepupdiary.com

28 May

We were both adopted from local shelters (Ginger as an adult pup and Cubby as a puppy). Our mom always said she didn’t have time for a pup and didn’t have the space, but now she can’t imagine her life without us! Boy are we lucky pups she found us and took us in! If you have considered adopting, fostering, or volunteering, come out to meet all of the little New Yorkers who are looking for homes at the upcoming Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days this weekend on June 1 and 2. Below are 10 reasons to check it out:

1. The 2-day event features thousands of dogs and cats available for adoption for FREE! Yes, FREE! (Each shelter and rescue will have their own adoption policies and procedures.)

2. Over 50 shelters and rescue groups from the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals will participate so you will see a great variety of breeds, sizes, ages, mixes. (We prefer the scruffy look!)

3. Maddie’s Fund will pay the organizations an adoption fee from $500 to $2,000 per animal adopted. That means more money in the pockets of our local groups! Maddie’s Fund has set aside $4 million to help host these adoption events across the nation!

4. The adoption events on June 1 and 2 take place all around the city including two large outdoor events in Manhattan. Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm at Petco at 92nd and Broadway. Sunday from 12 to 5 pm at Petco Union Square. Heading to the beach this weekend? There will also be adoption events in the Hamptons, Jersey, and more!

5. FREE product samples will be available at the two large outdoor events.

6. You can save a life!

7. You can host cool events honoring your adopted pup — like the recent Rescue the Runway event at the New York Fire Museum.

8. Summer is the pawfect time to adopt a pup! Especially if you will have to potty train the pooch. If you have tried to potty train a puppy in winter snow storms, you will know what we mean!

9. It can change your life. You will have a new instant best friend, travel buddy, volunteer side kick, wing man, or whatever you are looking for in a dog. Your social circles will grow and you will have a fun new reason to get out of bed every morning. Not to mention all of the doggy kisses you will receive!

10. Did we tell you the adoptions are FREE!

What are you waiting for?!

Mr. Bones & Co. presents Rescue the Runway | thepupdiary.com

17 May

Adoptable (and very adorable) pups hit the catwalk earlier this week in the first annual Rescue the Runway charity event benefiting Animal Haven, Second Chance Rescue, and Pibbles & More Animal Rescue. Celebrity human escorts (models, actors, TV personalities) played second fiddle to the precious pups – many pit bull and mixes — and we loved presenter Cindy Vero’s wit and charm as she introduced the dogs. (Funny that she works with a “Cubby” at 103.5 KTU – BOL!)

After the runway show concluded, guests were encouraged to meet the pups up close and personal and chat with rescue volunteers. We are hoping that all of the pups find loving homes! We loved the tiny 6 week-old pup, Leo! Well we actually loved all of the doggies!

Rescue the Runway models

It’s only fitting that the event took place at the New York City Fire Museum where dogs play a special role. A fire doggy memorial adorned one of the walls with photos, collars, information, and even a stuffed former fire dog from years ago.

It’s amazing how dogs are able to inspire us to do some pretty amazing things! Mr. Bones, a rescue pup, was the doggy brain child behind this production. And happy to hear he and his human companion, Elli Frank from Eye5 Marketing & Talent, have already started work on their second annual event with a possible cat theme.

Inspiration

Guests were treated to an open bar, tasty bites from local restaurants Left Bank, Poco, Bell Book & Candle, yummy Crumbs cupcakes, a fabulous silent auction and raffle, and special entertainment by DJ Gabriel Valverde, Band Called Catch and Tora Fisher. Party goers headed to the Brooklyneer for an after party . . .
