Yesterday, the strangest thing I've ever encountered with the NYC Animal Care Centers occurred. Adorable Brooklyn, a volunteer favorite who's been passed by for adoptions three months now, was scheduled to be killed. Dogs on the kill list have around 40 hours to be adopted or fostered before the doors close and the decisions to terminate now or postpone for another 40 hours begins. After noon yesterday, Brooklyn was still not adopted and the euthanasia command was issued around 4:00, at which time at least three potential adopters were banging on the ACC doors to take her/ Where the hell were they the past two days?
At any rate, the ACC stopped the euthanasia order, and Brooklyn was reprieved at the last minute! She's now scheduled to die tomorrow after noon. I hope one of those three people save her today. She's cat-friendly, and I would love to adopt her, but she's too large for me and my space.
