Laura Dellatte, one of our rescue partners, reached out to us yesterday for assistance. An abandoned or lost dog was spotted at Ferry Point Park in the Bronx, scared and alone, with no collar. With the heat and storms approaching, it was imperative that we bring her to safety.
We headed to the area as the sun was setting, using the photos to identify the landmarks and confirm our location. After scouting the beach, she was spotted walking along the waters edge. She was attracted to voices and the lights from across the sound as though she was looking for help and trying to find her way.
We quickly set the trap along the reeds and within a few hours she was safely captured.
She is young, approximately a year old. Very sweet, gentle and polite when taking treats. She loves toys, knows some commands and is very affectionate with her rescuers and loves to give hugs. No microchip.
Pet Rescue NY is kind enough to hold her through the stray hold, but she will need rescue placement or a foster once the stray hold is up. This is such a difficult time in the rescue community as dogs are being abandoned at alarming rates and rescues and shelters are filled to capacity.
Are there any rescues willing to step up for this gentle soul? Please contact me or private message the page if you are able to help.
