Trails to Tails, NYC's Shelter Map, Unveiled at City Hall on March 6, 2010

In an effort to increase public awareness of local shelters across New York City, public officials and animal advocacy groups  gathered to unveil Rational Animal's shelter map, Trails to Tails.  With the unveiling, officials stated they will begin to carry supplies of Trails to Tails maps in district offices to help New Yorkers find shelters, increase animal adoptions and help NYC reach its goal of ending euthanasia in city shelters by 2015.

Since 2004, Rational Animal has produced Trails to Tails with the goal of increasing adoptions at shelters -- diverting people from buying at puppy mill stores or breeders -- with the goal of helping homeless animals find homes and not face euthanasia in their future.
