Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 2025, as Pet Rescue Awareness Month in the State of New York

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a binding law) requesting Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating October 2025 as "Pet Rescue Awareness Month" in New York. It does not create new policies, funding, or requirements; it solely asks the Governor to formally recognize the month to highlight animal shelter efforts. The resolution cites statistics about shelter animals (e.g., millions entering shelters annually) to support the symbolic recognition, but no concrete changes to animal welfare law are proposed. It affects no specific individuals or organizations, as it is a non-binding request to the executive branch.
