Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 2026, as Pet Rescue Awareness Month in the State of New York
This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially designate October 2026 as Pet Rescue Awareness Month. The resolution highlights the large number of animals entering shelters annually and the challenges they face, such as overcrowding and euthanasia. It aims to raise public awareness about companion animals and encourage compassion for those who cannot speak for themselves. The measure does not change laws or allocate funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to recognize the importance of pet rescue efforts.
