Volunteer Wrote: Leo might be 14 years of age but he is no couch potato. I can see him from far away resting in his kennel. As I approach, he gets up and indicates clearly that I should take him out....He even goes to the latch. A smart little guy. Leo is a great trooper. He walks gingerly, does a "little something" and back to his stroll. I pick him up for bonding time and place him on my lap. Leo loves it. I have no ribbon to unmask his eyes from a curtain of hair. I will tomorrow and take a good picture of him. The poor chap was very poorly cared for. His eyes are full of pus and his coat is so soiled. And to top it all, do you know what more?...... He was found at the entrance of a highway. We all know what would have happened next if Leo had not be found by us...Leo needs you big time. He is a cute Bichon in need of love and eager to give back.... Leo , our little lion is at the

RESCUE CONTACTS & INFORMATION for potential Fosters and Adopters, NYACC
DO NOT call and say you are adopting unless you truly intend on physically going to the shelter to adopt the dog. It ties up phones lines and is a waste of the staff's time to explain the adoption procedure over the phone for someone who is purposely not going to show up. They need every free second of their time to answer calls, assist actual adopters, process intakes, and care for the animals. More importantly, they will note the dog’s file that an adopter is en route which will prevent an actual adopter from saving the dog. This is considered a "fake adoption" hold and that is how dogs fall through the cracks and end up being killed.
DO NOT e-mail unless serious about adopting and ONLY if you are able to GO TO the shelter in-person. Please do not email for status updates... the only thing you will accomplish is spamming their in boxes and causing REAL adopter emails to go un-noticed.
For more information on adopting, please visit their website: urgentdeathrowdogs.org and click on “How You Can Help.” There are also helpful links with information on each main album description.
