I'm sure many of you already know about this, but since this is a forum of animal lovers I feel I have to share this information just in case even ONE of you hasn't seen it, and you can help spread the word.
There are terrible things happening to dogs and cats in New York. Beautiful, adoptable, healthy animals are being killed every day in New York's Animal Care and Control (ACC) shelters.
A non-profit organization called Urgent! works hard to save the dogs and cats on the ACC's kill lists every night, but unfortunately, they cannot save them all.
If you care, and if you want more information, you can find it on this website. Please be aware that they post the pictures and bios of the dogs that are set to be killed each day, so if you're like me, you may end up bawling your eyes out. HOWEVER, this is so important that I don't think it's one of those times when we should turn our head to spare ourselves the horror of reality.

They have Facebook pages for the dogs and cats that urgently need fostering, adoption, and pledges. If you're on Facebook, sharing these pages with your friends could save an animal's life.

If you care, please share this information on Facebook, via email, everywhere and anywhere. If you live in NYC, there is a big rally coming up in Times Square on September 8th, you could attend that. If you live near NY, sharing these pages with your friends may mean the difference between life and death for one animal.
The ACC had 14 dogs on today's kill list. So far two have been saved through the efforts of people on Facebook. There may still be time for the others, and a new list of death row animals will come out tonight. If PSers can help broaden the network of exposure for these sweet animals, we can save more. Please help. I watched the power of social media save these two dogs' lives over the last 18 hours, and it was amazing. We can do more.
Thank you so much.
