Helping adoptable pets find homes and supporting the "lifesaving work" of local animal welfare organizations are the driving forces behind an upcoming event in Manhattan, N.Y.

Happening at Union Square Park on June 7, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Petco Love's Pet Adoption Block Party will feature more than 400 adoptable cats, dogs, and other small companion pets from 14 organizations in the NYC area.

"One of the most meaningful moments is seeing a pet find their person and begin a bond that can change both of their lives," says Chelsea Staley, president of Petco Love, the national nonprofit organization hosting the event. "By bringing together our shelter and rescue partners for New York City's favorite summer block party, we're creating more opportunities for pets to find loving homes while celebrating the lifesaving work happening here every day."
