🚨 THIS PATTERN MUST BE INVESTIGATED. There appears to be a deeply troubling pattern at this shelter involving large-breed dogs being given as little as 1–8 days to find rescue or adoption before facing euthanasia. That is not a genuine chance at life.

🚨 There are also serious concerns that some dogs may be quickly labeled “aggressive” or “sick,” potentially accelerating their placement on the euthanasia list before they have a fair opportunity to be saved.

🚨 THIS CANNOT BE IGNORED. These dogs deserve fair evaluations, transparency, and a meaningful chance to find safety—not a countdown to death. The public deserves answers, and this pattern demands accountability and a thorough investigation.

📣 STOP ALLOWING THIS TO CONTINUE. SPEAK UP. BE THEIR VOICE. Our voices have power.

👇 THE PROOF IS RIGHT HERE. 👇

5 OUT OF 9 MASTIFFS ARE LISTED AS “RESCUE ONLY” — LABELED AS SICK OR AGGRESSIVE.

It’s only a matter of time before the remaining dogs could also be labeled “behavioral” or “sick.”

And what happens next❓️

They can be scheduled for euthanasia within days.

Together, we can demand change. 🫶

🐾 Michael ID: #A850464 - FRIENDLY

Cane Corso • male • Tan

Approximately 2 years old.

Located in kennel D 09.

Arrived at the shelter on 8/24. Available 8/29

https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/SBCO1/A850464

🆘️ Rescue only - 🩺 Medical 🆘️ HIS LEG MAY NEED TO BE AMPUTATED 💔

Sweet Michael arrived at the shelter with lacerations to his head and neck. His right hind knee was severely swollen and has an open, draining wound. A third-party veterinarian evaluated him and reported a guarded prognosis; amputation may ultimately be necessary.

Despite everything he is going through, Michael remains bright, alert, and responsive. He is willingly eating and drinking, and his swelling has decreased. But he needs more than a shelter kennel to recover.

Michael needs a safe, quiet home where he can be closely monitored, receive the care he needs, and have the best possible chance at healing.

He has already endured enough. Please don't let his injuries be the reason he loses his life.

Urgent Last call for Rufferee (#258274) ⚽️✨🐾🐾

Thumbnail
gallery
130 Upvotes

It’s the LAST CALL for (8-y/o) Rufferee, now under kill command!

The adorable American Staffordshire Terrier-mix was found in a park and brought into NYCACC in late-June.

He is listed due to high stress and toy-fixation behaviors in the shelter environment (details listed below).

Rufferee is social, cute, affectionate, excitable, energetic, and healthy!

The good boy earned the 2nd best behavior rating during his medical exam… 🦴

Shelter Notes:

Rufferee is listed on the at-risk emergency list due to behavior concerns that arise from high stress and over-arousal inside the shelter environment.

While he is noted to be highly social, energetic, and affectionate with handlers during outdoor yard time, the confined space and noise of the facility have caused him severe anxiety.

The specific incidents and behavioral triggers that led to his at-risk status include:

Low Arousal Threshold: In the care center, he becomes easily overwhelmed. During one incident where he became highly over-excited trying to get into a toy storage bin, medical staff stepped in to check on and redirect him; he responded by lunging at their hand in an attempt to resource-guard.

Toy Fixation & Resource Guarding: Rufferee has an intense obsession with toys (like stuffies and tennis balls). He exhibits resource guarding behaviors in the shelter, including freezing, becoming tense, hovering over, and body-blocking his toys. This fixation also makes him very difficult to redirect on walks if he spots random toys.

Severe Shelter Anxiety: His official logs note that he shows clear physical signs of terror and confusion inside the building, such as trembling like a leaf. In one documented instance, he pulled himself into the supply area, tried to climb into a linen bin to hide, and then suffered an anxiety-induced collapse onto the floor out of sheer mental exhaustion and confusion.

Shelter Information:

Shelter: NYCACC (Queens)
Location: Queens, New York
Address: 1906 Flushing Ave, Ridgewood
Telephone: (212) 788-4000
Email: adopt@nycacc.org

🐾 Marty ID: #A5790158

Mastiff • Male • Brown brindle

Approximately 3 yrs old

https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/dacc-details/?animalId=A5790158

📆 Arrived at the shelter on 7/18

✨️Behavior Summary: Marty displayed calm, neutral behavior throughout the yard, with soft eyes, a relaxed body, open pant, and neutral tail. When another dog attempted to initiate a fight, Marty appropriately disengaged and walked away. He peacefully coexisted with the other dogs without engaging in play.

With the handler, Marty was friendly and affectionate, approaching to solicit petting and leaning against the handler. He tolerated full-body handling, though he briefly tensed and side-eyed when his abdomen and legs were touched, indicating handling sensitivity in those areas. He quickly returned to the handler and solicited affection again.
