This shelter’s kill rate for the most recent 12 months on record was 27% for cats and dogs.
Oh boy – would you LOOK at that tail? She is so damn happy that her tail is blurring in the image! I hope she gets saved…
The waggy tail is what initially grabbed my attention. Then I read the story. It sounds as if she was surrendered with her litter of pups and now the shelter is going to kill her because she has a runny nose. She doesn’t look like she’s medically hopeless! I hope someone swoops her up in time.
Does anyone know if someone sponsors her medical care if they will keep her longer???
She looks like the perfect puppy – and she has been on the kill list before. (I try NOT to follow urgent part 2, but find myself checking in daily to see who has made it and who has not.) Star so deserves a good home with a family who will love her back.
Please – even a rescue at this point will at least get her out of ACC in NYC.
And, no a runny nose or kennel cough is hardly medically hopeless, but that seems to be the reason for killing many of these precious dogs.
What a cutie. I hope and pray someone gets her out!
Does anyone have an update on Star?
