Animal Lovers–
Lady is a 5-year-old Rottweiler bitch currently living in New York City. Her owner intends to move to Europe at the end of the month–at which point he plans to destroy her! Apparently he doesn’t even want to pay to have a vet do it, but just plans to take her out to the country and kill her himself. He is making no other arrangements for the dog, but is okay with someone else finding her a new home. This is where a friend and I have stepped in.
Lady is a little shy, but quickly warms to new people and loves to go on walks. She’s relatively small for a Rottweiler–only about 55-60 pounds. She’s sadly gotten used to life in a small city apartment, but a little more room and daily walks would certainly bring joy to her life (and yours!)

I don’t know how Lady reacts to other pets or small children, so I wouldn’t recommend her for a home with either (though she might be just fine). She’s perfectly heathy as far as I know, but she would need a checkup and updated innoculations. I checked with Eastside Veterinary Clinic and found out that the checkup and routine rabies shot she needs together cost about $55. I don’t know yet whether or not Lady has been spayed.
If you are interested in Lady or know someone who might be, please send an email.
Hopefully with a little networking this dog can be saved!

We here at NYCityPets are involved in many ways with pets. We petsit, volunteer for homeless pets, work with pets professionally, care for our own pets and we blog about pets. In short, we love pets and understand that situations arise where people need help to find another loving home for their beloved pets.

This love of pets is why we hate the man we have named New York City’s own Biggest Coward of the Day.

Thanks to his actions today, we are announcing the Blockbuster Cat Contest.

But first, the back story:

This man is moving from NYC in less than one week. Today he was unable to find a home for his cat after his only only efforts were to try his local pet store and a random nearby veterinary hospital to see what options were available. After he received a list of all the NYC shelters and rescue groups and some email contact information, the man said: “I don’t believe in computers. None of these shelters are near here either.”
He left in frustration and went into the nearby Blockbuster Video store. He then set the cat cage on the floor, opened it and walked out of the store.

To us, he is now known as the Biggest Coward of New York City for August 4th, 2006.

Our Blockbuster Cat Contest is as follows: If you are in NYC and are looking to adopt a calm, sweet cat that deserves much more than to be abandoned, then email NYCityPets. We will provide free cat sitting for a year should you need to leave this cat for vacations or business travel. We’ll also give you a new carrier and bestow upon you the honor of Hero of the Day of New York City.

Update: Pictures Available!
