Councilman Treyger Invites You To Adopt A Pet This Sunday

Councilman Mark Treyger will be displaying his soft and fuzzy side this weekend.

The proud owner of two rescued Yorkies, Treyger is partnering with Sean Casey Animal Rescue, a no-kill shelter with locations in Kensington and Sunset Park, to hold a pet adoption event on Sunday, November 9 from noon to 5pm, outside his district office at 2015 Stillwell Avenue.

The councilman was inspired to partner with the organization after he and his wife adopted one of their dogs, Bella, from Sean Casey earlier this year.

“My wife and I rescued an adorable Yorkie from Sean Casey, so I know firsthand how caring and professional this organization is,” said Treyger. “I urge anyone who has been thinking about welcoming a pet into their family to consider rescuing a dog or cat on Sunday in order to provide a permanent home for one of the many animals in need.”

All residents are welcome to stop by and hang out with the dogs and cats, and to show their support for this effort–especially families that have been considering opening their home to a new pet. Treyger noted that by adopting an animal from Sean Casey, you are actually saving two lives, by opening up space for the organization to accept another cat or dog into its facility.

If you can’t make the event on Sunday, you can visit dogs, cats, amphibians, and more at Sean Casey’s facilities daily from 11am to 7pm. The dog adoption fee is $308.50, the cat adoption fee is $100, and the kitten adoption fee is $125. Personal references are required, along with a reference from a veterinarian if you have previously owned a pet.
