Operation Food Bowl
We began OFB in May 2008 as a collaborative effort with Reaching Out Community Services (RCS) and Dyker Heights Civic Associationto help struggling pet parents in our community feed and keep their pets. When we launched OFB, The Knights of Columbus, Neighborhood Improvement Association (NIA), Animal Pantry of Dyker Heights, local veterinarians, and 5th and 3rd Ave. BID merchants contributed to help us raise almost $600 to buy pet food for RCS!
OFB has since expanded and provided thousands of dollars worth of pet food to hundreds of pet owners and rescuers, building a solid relationship between local pet supply merchants, animal shelters and small rescue groups affiliated with City Pitties, such as Animal Care & Control of NYC, Freeport Animal Shelter, Red Hook Dog Rescue, Pibbles R Us and Second Chance Rescue.
Once per month dedicated City Pitties volunteers pick up dog & cat food and treats (and sometimes bird food!) from generous Bay Ridge pet stores Lee's World Pet Supply, Vinny's, and Fins Feathers n' Furs and the NIA. Our volunteers deliver the food to RCS, rescue groups, foster homes and seniors with pets in greater Bay Ridge.
If you are a merchant and would like to join OFB, a rescue group in need of dog food, or if you would like to volunteer please contact us at CityPitties@yahoo.com. To volunteer, you must be able to lift 45 lbs. and have a vehicle.

IN MEMORY OF THE THOUSANDS of GOOD DOGS EUTHANIZED IN NYC LAST YR
and the hundreds of dogs and puppies right now sitting in their own filth, not walked in days, sick and hurt without necessary medical attention in our outdated, mismanaged shelters where Animal Care & Control/Dept. of Health's first solution and only solution is the needle.
PLEASE ADOPT AND SAVE A LIFE
and remember pet ownership is a lifelong commitment and responsibility!

victim of owner abandonment & NYC's high kill shelter system
sweet shelter pittie girl
We couldn't help you.
Thousands more suffer
abuse,
abandonment,
neglect,
their last days on Death Row
spent
waiting for a second chance
in a cage
between a home and Heaven,
so we will keep fighting, in your memory,
to save as many good dogs as we can...
