What We Are Doing

On Saturday, July 12, The Toby Project participated in BROADWAY BARKS, a star-studded adopt-a-thon benefitting NYC's animal shelters and adoption agencies.  For more about the event, go to broadwaybarks.com

People are noticing The Toby Project.   In June, The Manhattan User's Guide introduced us to their readers and on July 5, the NY Daily News talked of our participation in Broadway Barks.

On June 19th, The Toby Project kicked off our current campaign with an event held at the home of Joy and Jack Fishman. Dr. Andrew Kaplan spoke about his vision of a city without a pet overpopulation problem and called on New Yorkers to take action by supporting The Toby Project. It was a great evening and a big success -- and brings us closer to our goal of getting our first spay/neuter van on the road.

Under the direction of Dr. Kaplan, City Veterinary Care provides a 75% discount to more than 30 recognized rescue organizations. These designated organizations receive approximately 24 appointments each week. The care given serves to prepare rescued dogs and cats for adoption by resolving health problems and performing spay/neuter surgeries.

The next step is to address the fundamental cause of the pet overpopulation crisis. A team of veterinarians and related professionals will bring free spay/neuter services to all five boroughs of New York City, targeting those communities that surrender the most animals to municipal shelters each year. We need your help to purchase and fund the operation of our first spay/neuter van. Click here to make a donation, and get us on the road.
