Across town from show dogs, a labor to save suffering ones

ASPCA President Matt Bershadker, left, pets Rainbow while speaking to Matchmaker Olivia D'Amico at the ASPCA adoption center, Friday, April 21, 2023, on the Upper West Side neighborhood of New York. While the Westminster Kennel Club crowns the cream of the canine elite on one of tennis' most storied courts next week, another 19th-century institution across town will be tending to dogs that have had far more troubled lives. New York is home to both the United States' most prestigious dog show and its oldest humane society, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Their histories entwine: Some proceeds from the very first Westminster dog show, in 1877, helped the young ASPCA build its first dog and cat shelter years later. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer)
