Curtis Sliwa vows to end animal ‘kill’ shelters in NYC if elected mayor
Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa wants to create a
new “Animal Welfare” party line — with the sole purpose of ending New York
City’s so-called “kill” shelters, he told The Post on Thursday.
The Guardians Angels founder vowed to stamp out the city
shelter system’s practice of euthanizing dogs and cats, arguing it’s something
everyone can get behind.
“People who support Trump, people who support Biden, people
who are apolitical, they love dogs and cats,” he said. “It’s one of the few
issues that people are not divided about.”
Sliwa, 67, is looking to gather the more than 3,000
signatures needed so that — should he win the GOP mayoral primary against
taxi-bodega advocate Fernando Mateo — New Yorkers would be able to vote for him
in the general election on the new “Animal Welfare” line.
“People will also have an opportunity to vote for me on this
line, which has one purpose only — to end a horror that has existed for years,”
of euthanizing pets.
These poor dogs are in need of suitable forever homes ASAP or foster to save their lives, please read notes on each adoptable pet. their time is up! You can't humanely kill something that wants to live and these beautiful dogs want to live long happy lives in loving humane homes!

** TO Be Euthanized 4/20/2021 in NYC **
FOSTER or ADOPTER needed BY NOON that day to SAVE beautiful ONYX's life! PLEASE, SHARE!
He is a shy, unassuming guy who just wanted a quiet, loving home with a predictable and
familiar routine he could count on. But no, it was not to be. The landlord
insisted on a “no pets” policy and given that ONYX is more comfortable with his
immediate family and less so with meeting new people, it was off to the shelter
with him. You would not mind, but Onyx never asked for much. He was not
demanding, happy to lay on the sofa and sleep. He was not obnoxious, happy for
a slow walk with his family or tossing a few of his favorite toys around
(balls!). He never tried to horn in on the family bed at night, preferring his
own dog bed. He would entertain with the few tricks he had learned (he loves to
give paw, but even better, he loves to give BOTH paws), and he played happily
(if a bit roughly) with other dogs he would meet. Now this middle-aged boy
needs a new home, an experienced home, a place to decompress and then slowly
acclimate to his new surroundings and family. If you can give this big,
gorgeous ebony boy a soft place to rest his head, either through fostering or
adopting him,

FOSTER or ADOPTER needed BY NOON that day to SAVE puppy
REESES's life! PLEASE, SHARE!
A $500 stipend will be offered to the New Hope partner that
pulls Reese’s 113575.
He is a puppy who wants to be your one and only doggy child.
REESES is barely a year old, a super sweet, affectionate, wiggly lovebug who
embodies everything we think of when we think “puppy.” Active, playful, with
eyes full of trust for humans, he still has not been battered down yet by life.
He looks at the world with wonder, he wants to make friends with everyone, and
every day brings joy. But his parents were clearly inexperienced with managing
a multi-dog home, and either did not care or did not know how to train their
dogs in the commands “down” or “place” or even “look at me” so they could
de-escalate scuffles that will inevitably take place. Now Reeses is at the
shelter, wagging his tail, a little confused about where his family is, and
looking to the volunteers and staff for comfort. He is a dear little thing, and
all he needs is an experienced foster or adopter who are dog-savvy and can
continue his training, so he learns all those big dog skills. So, watch his
video (his face is just precious) and then rush to foster or adopt him now. You
can MESSAGE OUR PAGE or
EMAIL US at NYCDogsLivesMatter@gmail.com for assistance.

Sheba is a beloved 11-year-old German Shepherd who is currently imprisoned at the Devore animal shelter. For over a year Sheba has been kept in a small, 5x5 dark concrete cell where she has no bed or blanket to shield her from the cold hard floor, no toys to stimulate her, and no interaction to help her cope with the isolation. Sheba has never been out of the cell and is deprived of any exercise. Her 81-year-old owner, Jose “Pepe” Sanchez travels 40 miles three days a week to see Sheba, is allowed only 5 minutes for each visit and is denied physical contact with Sheba. The severity of these restrictions is causing unnecessary mental anguish resulting in physical harm to Mr. Sanchez and Sheba.
Sheba was erroneously labeled a “vicious” dog by San Bernardino County (SBC) because of a single incident with another dog, who is fine and doing well. The owners of the other dog agree that Sheba should not be killed and have written a letter to the County asking them to refrain from killing Sheba.
Several months after that single incident, Sheba wandered from Mr. Sanchez’s property. Sheba was not involved in any trouble while away, nonetheless, authorities confiscated Sheba and ordered that she be killed. Sheba’s behavior was not “vicious,” does not warrant a death sentence, and does not justify being kept in a small cell under such terrible conditions.
Justice dictates that Sheba be returned to the only family she has known and the man who has raised her and loved her since she was an eight - week old puppy. Since Sheba’s removal, Mr. Sanchez has erected a fenced-in an enclosure on his property to secure Sheba and prevent her from leaving. Additional reasonable restrictions can be imposed as conditions for Sheba’s return.
There are several qualified dog rescue groups who are available and prepared to take Sheba and provide her with the rehabilitation and training she will need following the months of confinement and abuse she has been subjected to at Devore animal shelter. Relocation plans to another county are also in place should personnel at Devore insist that Sheba be sent to another county.
While returning Sheba to Mr. Sanchez is our preferred relief, releasing Sheba to a sanctuary or rescue group is an alternative to save Sheba’s life and eliminate a tremendous cost to taxpayers. Transferring Sheba to a rescue group is in keeping with SBC Animal Control’s own policy which states that it is a goal of SBC Animal Care and Control to reduce the number of companion animals euthanized in animal shelters. As such, SBC Animal Care and Control cooperatively release animals to both partner and non-partner non-profit animal rescue groups in an attempt to achieve this goal.
Sheba deserves the same consideration and benefit as other dogs that have been confiscated (for far worse reasons) and that are allowed to be pulled by a non-profit rescue for rehabilitation and rehoming. SBC Animal Care and Control should release Sheba to a qualified rescue.
Sheba is a senior dog with only a short time to live. She does not pose a threat to public safety. She deserves to spend her final months with her loving owner, Mr. Sanchez, who also deserves to be with his beloved Sheba in his final years. Keeping them apart serves no legitimate purpose.
