NYC shelters are overcrowded, hallways filled with dogs

New York City’s shelters are full to the brim with dogs, and not nearly enough people are adopting, according to Animal Care Centers of New York City.

So many selfish people adopting dogs during the pandemic and then abandoning them like trash, shameful!

Stop F buying dogs !!

[@BrittBrattBossLady]

Or ppl can stop breeding them for money. No one would buy them, if they didn't keep breeding them.

[@elsafolgar5224]

Some people buy dogs and later they discard them like a piece of paper, 😢

[@1DJSkittles]

I thought this was about people shelters by the title and people were bringing their dogs there

Many landlords and Shelters don't accept animals. It must be hard to give up one of your family or sleep in the streets.

Meredith Grey. Like grey’s Anatomy! I wonder if she made that name up on the spot 😆

[@boyasia5874]

How about sending them to willing SPCA of cities which don't have any or a few dogs available for adoptions .

[@EsmeraldaWolfsbane7777]

Thats so odd because they don't let me adopt one because i told them i had cats, my old cat is not neutered due to health issues and they said no dog for me because my cat is not neutered i said ill pay for the dog to be neutered before i adopt and they still said no , this is because YOU don't want people like me to adopt

Any Dalmatians?

[@sct4040]

The breed is very hyper, you need to know before adopting a Dalmatian.

[@EsmeraldaWolfsbane7777]

Ohh they need designer dogs I guess the shelter dogs aren't good enough how disgusting

[@marisahernandez4257]

This is just beyond sad! This is why it’s so important to spay and neuter your pets. A lot of the stray dogs are from litters that were born during COVID when a lot of pet parents didn’t spay or neuter. We have to make animal healthcare more affordable so people don’t financially feel lunched to take care of a pet.

[@reneechristopher2121]

Not everyone wants a pet. Definitely not me. I don't like animals and even if I did, I don't want the responsibility.❤❤😊😊

Why are you commenting? What use are you?

[@ViperChipz]

I kind of want a dog but I have extreme social anxiety so I dunno

[@soprotivleniye7620]

​@@ViperChipzDo you mean that you would be anxious of other people while walking your dog?

[@kisht7469]

@@ViperChipzDon’t do it. You’ll deeply regret it.

[@Trini190]

People should’ve never domesticated dogs‼️‼️‼️‼️
