Adoption

It's a bird. It's a plane. No…it's a Hover Cat! Special thanks to ABC's Good Morning America anchor Dan Harris for making a soon-to-be-viral YouTube video that features adoptable pets. The video also stars Dan's adopted cat, George, whose incredible talents spring to life as soon as Dan leaves for work. This cat seriously knows how to keep a beat!

While the cuteness can't be ignored, neither can the video's ultimate message: Adopting a pet is awesome!  So go ahead, take a peek…and be sure to share! It's a great way to encourage more folks to adopt.

Thanks again, Dan! 

What can we say? Our office pooches are pretty darn cute. You know, the kind of cute that gets you noticed. Just check them out in Banana Republic's new video showcasing the colorful Trina Turk Collection. We hate to brag, but our rescued canines look pretty awesome in paisley.

Banana Republic and the ASPCA created the video to increase awareness of pet adoption. After all, who wouldn't want a pup who likes to play dress-up with Trina Turk scarves?  If you can't wait to play dress-up yourself, "like" Banana's Facebook page for the chance to shop the collection early, on June 6.

Hello! Do you have a snack? A dog treat? Just a small, delicious morsel? Could you maybe just give that to Lola? OK, you guys are now BFFs for life.

It's really that simple with our crazy-adorable lap dog Lola, who has been patiently waiting at our Adoption Center for longer than we really understand. A Chihuahua through and through, Lola wants to sit on your lap and be unwaveringly loyal and close to you. (Especially if you have something tasty for her.)

Frankly, we're not sure how anyone could resist her sweet face, tiny paws and penchant for affection. Maybe people are a little wary of her age—nine—but that’s barely middle-aged for a Chihuahua, and she has all the energy and spirit of a pup of three. Like most Chi Chis, she needs a little time to get to know a person before falling in love with them, but that amount of time is really short. (It's basically however long it takes you to produce a treat.)

There's a song in Damn Yankees that goes, "Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets," and that's been true for her at the ASPCA Adoption Center—but the one thing our Lola really wants, to go home at last, remains a wish unfulfilled.

Can you give her the life she deserves? (And can you hook her up with lots of treats? Seriously, she'll do anything you ask. For treats.) Learn more about her on her page and please share her on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. If you think you’d like to adopt her, please call our Animal Placement department in NYC at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4900.

Thank you for helping Lola find a family!
