Borough President Eric Adams is calling on lawmakers in Albany to give tax credits to those who adopt dogs or cats from animal shelters.
Adams is supporting the legislation in Albany to get more New York residents to adopt. The bill would give pet owners a $100 tax credit if they adopt a pet from a shelter or rescue.
Adams says a pet would bring joy into the lives of family members, and the tax credit is an incentive for people to adopt.
There will be a pet adoption event at Borough Hall Plaza this weekend from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with plenty of cats and dogs looking for a home.
