Fulton County Animal Services saw an increase in fosters after my recent post!
A few years back, I visited Fulton County Animal Services in Atlanta, GA. The shelter is always full (mostly pit bulls), and way over capacity. It was built to accommodate about 90 animals, and they usually have about 300... They receive over 16,000 animals every year.
Lady Red, adopted after 6 years at the shelter!
Labeled as dog aggressive for most of her life, Lady Red waited 6 years for a family to call her own.
NYC: Make your voice heard! Ban the sale of pets in NYC stores!
NEW YORK CONSTITUENTS! Super important message regarding NYS bill S.4234/A.6298, to ban the sale of pets in stores. As you know, several cities have banned the sale of pets in stores. But not NYC!! Not yet, anyway… This could all change now. Please read and take action!

Visit at the Arecibo Shelter + Fundraiser
A few years back I volunteered for The Sato Project, a NY rescue that is dedicated to helping the dogs of Puerto Rico. Back then, Arecibo was a municipal shelter, which name would send chills down the spine of any rescuer on the island. It was considered ground zero, a place of death and even alleged abuse.
Fighting BSL
BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) is an outdated, dangerous view of dogs and dog ownership. It targets specific breeds, usually "pit bulls", and other breeds such as German Shepherds, Chows, Rottweilers, etc.. Under BSL, cities, or even countries, ban certain types of dogs, regardless of their individual temperament.
