HELP!

I know I post a lot about the horrible conditions of the NYC shelter system--well here is another story to make you sick-Please take a minute to send letters or make a phone call---things like this will never end unless we speak out



THE DOG YOU SEE IN THIS PICTURE WAS PULLED BY POSH PETS RESCUE FROM THE MANHATTAN SHELTER ON FEBRUARY 9TH. HER NAME WAS HELENA. AS MANDATED BY THE MANHATTAN SHELTER, HELENA WAS RETURNED TO THE SHELTER BY POSH PETS ON MARCH 15 FOR HER SPAYING. ON MARCH 16TH, WHEN POSH PETS WENT TO THE SHELTER TO PICK HER UP, THE SHELTER INFORMED POSH PETS THAT HELENA HAD DIED. IT TURNS OUT THAT HELENA WAS PREGNANT. THE SHELTER INFORMED POSH PETS THAT ALL HELENA'S PUPPIES WERE DEAD TOO. IN ONE FELL SWOOP, THE MANHATTAN SHELTER MANAGED TO TAKE THE LIVES OF ONE MOTHER AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PUPPIES. IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO REMEMBER THAT HELENA NO LONGER BELONGED TO THE MANHATTAN SHELTER OR THE NYC ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL SYSTEM. HELENA WAS TECHNICALLY THE PROPERTY (THOUGH I HATE TO USE THE WORD "PROPERTY") OF POSH PETS RESCUE. THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THE MANHATTAN SHELTER OFFERED POSH PETS NO EXPLANATION FOR WHAT KILLED HELENA. UNTIL THEY GOT THEIR HANDS BACK ON HER, HELENA WAS IN FOSTER CARE AND A HEALTHY, HAPPY, LOVING DOG. WE NEED TO DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED TO HELENA. WE NEED TO KNOW WHO PERFORMED THE SURGERY ON HELENA AND WE NEED A VALID, AUTHENTICATED POST MORTEM (AUTOPSY) OF HELENA. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S MY GUESS THAT THE SHELTER HURRIEDLY DISPOSED OF HELENA'S BODY ALONG WITH HOWEVER MANY PUPPIES SHE HAD. I'VE ALREADY ISSUED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS HORRIFIC EPISODE TO THE NY CITY COUNCIL, BUT MY ONE VOICE WILL NOT RESULT IN ANYTHING BUT THE USUAL APATHY. I'M ASKING ALL OF YOU TO WRITE OR CALL THE ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AND THE NY CITY COUNCIL AND DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO HELENA - FOR HELENA, HER MURDERED PUPPIES, POSH PETS RESCUE AND HER DISTRAUGHT FOSTER THAT LIVED WITH HELENA FOR 3 WHOLE WEEKS. TO THE MANHATTAN SHELTER AND NYC AC&C HELENA WAS JUST ANOTHER DOG. TO ME, HELENA WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO ESCAPE THEIR CLUTCHES AND SURVIVE. SHE WAS LOVED AND HAD A FUTURE THAT THE NYC AC&C ROBBED HER OF. HELENA WAS JUST 2 YEARS OLD
