I Love Labrabulls & Pitadors

Among the city’s many grassroots efforts, animal protection remains a field where small teams can shift outcomes. I Love Labrabulls & Pitadors sits in the East Village, at 170 Loisaida Ave #4c, carving out a niche for mixed-breed rescue and advocacy. The organization operates as both a shelter and an educational hub, focusing on two breeds often misunderstood at shelters.

Beside adoption assistance, the team handles transport coordination for dogs moving between boroughs and assists with behavioral evaluations before placement. They also provide pre-adoption counseling for families navigating the first months with a rescue dog, plus low-cost microchipping clinics on select weekends. Foster network training sessions run monthly, giving volunteers tools to support temporary placements at home.

Public outreach includes breed-positive workshops that counter stereotypes in high-traffic parks nearby. Outreach materials cover responsible breeding awareness and the impacts of overcrowded municipal shelters. All of this work happens on a shoestring budget, relying on donations and volunteer hours.
