Looking for the perfect furry friend? Assemblywoman Jaime Williams is bringing the Brooklyn community together for a special pet adoption event in Canarsie. Not only can you meet adoptable animals, but you’ll also get access to handy pet care resources, free goodies, and support from local organizations—all in one place!
Dubbed “I Love My Pet Day,” this gathering aims to encourage responsible pet ownership and help shelter animals find loving homes. It’s a joint effort between Williams, Animal Care Centers of NYC, and Animal Pantry, according to a recent NYC Newswire release. Prospective pet parents can get guidance on adoption and learn all about what it takes to welcome a new pet into their lives.
Brooklyn residents have been stepping up for animals, supporting rescue groups and creating family-focused adoption programs. This event is part of that growing trend—making pet adoption easy and accessible.
Brooklyn’s Community Pet Day: What To Expect
Mark your calendars! The event is happening Saturday, May 16, from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., at 5318 Avenue N, right at Assemblywoman Williams’ district office.

Reps from Animal Care Centers of NYC and Animal Pantry will be available to answer questions, walk you through the adoption process, and share tips for happy, healthy pets.
Williams says the event’s all about connecting animals with caring families and making sure pet owners have the tools they need to succeed. “Pets are such an important part of our lives. This event is here to help animals find loving homes, but also to ensure families get the support and resources they need,” she explained.
Events like these make a real difference. By bringing adoption opportunities right to the neighborhood, they help reduce overcrowding in shelters and teach everyone about responsible ways to care for pets.
