Hi Miss Heather,

I am a Williamsburg resident and a dog owner of a while whopping year. I was at the dog park (McCarren dog run) on 9/13 and found an abandoned dog there. Poor thing had been tied up to a fence with no tags, no micro chip, etc.

Just look at this guy!!! He’s adorable. I took him home because I couldn’t just leave him there, you know? I took him to our vet and he’s around 8 years old, needs a dental cleaning, and is unfixed, but he’s probably one of the chillest dogs I’ve ever met. For real, all he does all day is sleep and sit in your lap.

He’s 9 lbs. Pretty tiny. So I’m asking if you’d post about him on your blog. He didn’t do anything wrong to deserve being abandoned, and the ASPCA said they would come pick him up, but that if he couldn’t find a home, he’d be euthanized.

He’s really sweet and deserves the best. He enjoys kibble, long walks, napping, and water…. (the dog on the left is MY dog and is not up for adoption)!

Anyone interested in giving this cutie the care and forever home he deserves should contact Christina via email at: stina93446 (at) mac (dot) com

Thanks— and please spread the word!

I am pleased to announce that this lovely lass who was recently found at the McCarren Park Dog Run has been given a clean bill of health courtesy of our local veterinarian, Brad Seaman! This evening she will be spayed and thereafter will be ready for adoption. If you or anyone you know, dear readers, are interested in giving this very sweet and well-behaved lady the loving home she deserves— or simply want to learn more about her— please contact her good Samaritan at the above-listed telephone number. Thanks!

Miss Heather

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Abandoned?

Nicole (whom whose Facebook page I gleaned the above photograph) writes on January 26:

Hiya-

A few people suggested I email you. Tonight around 9pm a friend of mine was at the laundromat in Greenpoint and noticed this dog wandering the street, trying desperately to get inside the surrounding buildings. She is pretty skinny and was starving and cold. I agreed to take her in for the night, but I can’t have dogs in my building, and my apartment managers live across the street. :/ So i can’t keep her long. The animal shelters said they were full. If anyone recognizes her or wants to foster her or knows someone who might, please message me! She had some twine tied to her collar so it looks like someone tied her loosely in a public place and left her, and she escaped the twine. She is under a year old, maybe 45 pounds, not spayed, no training. Very sweet and good with people though. Thanks in advance for any help…

I have reached out to the folks at Dog Habitat to see if they can help. In the meantime, anyone interested in provided this beautiful lady the loving home she deserves should contact Nicole via email at: furixx (at) yahoo (dot) com.

UPDATE, 10:39 a.m.: here are a few more photographs of this gal courtesy of Devery Doleman.
