Feature 2 New York City Charges Ahead in the Race to Save Lives by Steve Gruber, Director of Communications As the lead agency for the Maddie's® Pet Rescue Project in NYC, now in Project Year 4, the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals is leading the charge in New York City's efforts to save lives and ensure homes for the city's thousands of homeless cats and dogs. With its 150-member coalition of shelters and rescue groups working together, New York City has its eye on becoming the nation's largest no-kill community by 2015. Last year, for the first time in New York City's history, the euthanasia rate at our municipal shelters fell below 50 percent -- to 43 percent of the 42,500 dogs and cats that entered NYC's Animal Care & Control (AC&C). That number is down from a 69 percent euthanasia rate in 2003 (our baseline year), and translates to just over 18,000 dogs and cats killed in 2007. To put that number into context: nearly 32,000 dogs and cats were killed at city shelters in 2002 -- our first year in existence. To read the full article, please click here. |
