Today Is National Dog Day. Attn: Fellow New Yorkers,
Politicians continue their decades long inhumane treatment of companion animals & disrespect of the volunteers/advocates desperately trying to keep them alive. Greed & cruelty abounds!! AWARENESS NEEDED! Power in #’s #ReformNYCACC

You dont have to live in NYC to save them. They will transport pets to homes in NY NJ CT RI DE ME VT NH PA VA DC MD. If you foster, transport/food/vet costs are covered by a rescue organisation

He’s still just a baby, with so much life ahead of him. Percy would make the perfect hiking buddy, jogging partner, or adventure companion. And when the day’s done, he’s the type who’ll curl up by your side and make everything feel right in the world.

DO NOT KILL FAYE VALENTINE💔🐾

Faye entered the shelter a wiggly, tail wagging stray & stayed friendly during intake exam. Since then she’s been sick w/kennel cough & nervous when taken to the street for walks

Her gentle nature is apparent on her video and oh those eyes!
