LOST DOG ON 7TH AVE!!

findcate · May 2006

There is a stray german shepherd type dog, yellow all over. Looks like an older dog. At approximately 8:00, I followed it for a few blocks but then it was walking away from me into traffic and it wouldn't stop. I think it would stop if i had had food.

I saw it around garfield and followed it to 3rd. It did stop to say hello to another dog but by the time i caught up it had moved on, so It looks tired and was wandering into the road, i had to run out to stop traffic. Is anyone missing a dog? what should i do?? i left a mssg with barc, they're closed mondays.

should I call animal care & control? this is from their FAQ on their website...do they kill strays after 48 hrs?

What do I do if I found an animal?

The first thing to do is contact the shelter in your borough. An immediate review of 'lost animal' reports will take place. If a match to the found animal is not immediately made, a shelter staff person will take a report. If the finder is willing, we will ask him/her to care for the animal temporarily while we seek its owner(s). Otherwise, the shelter will hold the animal for 48 hours; if it has not been claimed in that time, it will be evaluated for placement. Advantages of having the finder care for the animal are allowing more time to reunite the lost pet with its owner and, failing that outcome, simplifying the adoption by the finder, if the finder so desires and the animal is suitable for adoption.

Is the AC&C a 'no-kill' shelter?

Because of its contractual obligations and its open admissions policy, the AC&C humanely euthanizes terminally ill, suffering and severely injured animals. In addition, animals, which have bitten or have been trained to attack others and have been judged by skilled behaviorists to be inappropriate for placement, are likewise humanely euthanized. Finally, as NYC's only open admissions shelter, at times an overpopulation of adoptable animals requires us to humanely euthanize animals after all adoption resources including foster care, other shelters and breed and other rescue groups have been exhausted.
