RATIONAL ANIMAL AND BRITISH DESIGNER SUPPORT RESCUE DURING NYC'S FASHION NIGHT OUT New York, NY-Sept 8, 2011- Rational Animal partnered with Radley London, one of the UK's leading women's accessory brands, to advocate breed rescue of the Scottish Terrier, the breed used by Radley London as its signature logo, on Fashion’s Night Out.  During Fashion’s Night Out in Soho, a photo shoot was held with a Radley model and the rescued Scotties from the breed rescue organization, Scottish Terrier Club of Greater New York. All wore the orange ribbon for at-risk animals indicating their support of adopting animals from shelters or breed rescue organizations rather than buying from puppy mill stores. Following the shoot, the Radley model and the rescued Scotties attended an exclusive red carpet event in Midtown. Radley London is selling large, durable, canvas totes with their iconic Scottie Dog logo and the affixed symbol for at-risk animals, Rational Animal’s orange ribbon pewter pin exclusively online at Lord and Taylor. A percentage of the proceeds are donated to Rational Animal.

Rational Animal celebrated the conclusion of our 10-week after-school program at the Bronx School of Science Inquiry & Investigation. Fifteen 6th grade girls learned the principles of the Orange Ribbon for Animals Save.Care.Love. campaign, met animals at Manhattan's AC&C shelter, learned about spay/neuter from AC&C's vet and spay/neuter surgeon, Dr. Yvonne Szacki, and much more.  "I didn't think I had it in me. It would be too hard. It would make me too sad. I would want to bring everyone home with me. That was how I felt on my first visit to a municipal shelter delivering beds for the Mother's Comfort Project. But, deep down, I also knew that whatever apprehension I had was totally outweighed by wanting to give some love and a soft place to rest to all of the beautiful animals that were there." - Kelly, one of the amazing Mother's Comfort Project volunteers  Rational Animal had a table at this huge shopping and adoption event. We sold our 2011 calendar, cat and dog beds, dog wear, cat toys, and many other holiday goodies. Thanks to Best Friends NYC for giving us the table for free!

Pigeon Day - June 13, 2010  Rational Animal was proud to show our support for pigeons, the too often unappreciated New Yorkers. While these birds are
intelligent, loving, beautiful and resourceful, they too often bare the
brunt of the worst of New York - poison, cars, wire, grease,
traps...these pigeons are amazing survivors...souls to be championed,
not targets to be killed. National Pigeon Day festivities took place June 19 in Central Park. PEARL JAM FANS RAISE FUNDS FOR RATIONAL ANIMAL AGAIN! Since Eddie Vedder helped us raise funds by selling our concert tshirt at Pearl Jam and Buzzcocks concert at Madison Square Garden in 2003, the Wishlist Foundation, a Pearl Jam fan 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, continues to support our work by hosting pre-concert fundraisers to
celebrate Pearl Jam’s two night stint at Madison Square Gar den.
On May 20 and 21 fans met at Irish Times to help us raise funds for our work. Photo of Eddie Vedder and rescued dog Celo featured on his tshirt. - Rick Edwards ADOPTAPALOOZA - NEW YORK CITY'S BIG ADOPTION EVENT
