My dog was attacked by three dogs that escaped from their yard during his walk on leash. The attack was brutal, and what shocked me most wasn't just what happened—it was that NYC treats it as "property damage" because the victim wasn't human. That feels backwards.

I'm starting a petition asking NYC to classify dog-on-dog attacks more seriously. Right now, dogs that attack other dogs can't even be labeled as dangerous under city law. Meanwhile, similar incidents keep happening, and there's little stopping it from escalating to people.

We're asking for concrete changes: official classification of aggressive dogs, mandatory behavioral evaluations, muzzling requirements in public, and regulations keeping these dogs from being left unsupervised outside. These aren't extreme—they're preventative.

Anyone else had something like this happen to their pet? Or seen attacks in your neighborhood that felt like a warning sign no one was taking seriously? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing the petition.

Hi! I am looking for a new home for my foster cat, Sticks. I have a trip coming up and I won't be able to care for her. The rescue has been full and unsuccessful at finding her another foster. She is about 6 years old. She's a sweet pretty girl. She just needs time to acclimate in new spaces. Her default is hide until she feels safe. She's been with me for 7 months and has bloomed so much in that time. She enjoys looking out the window and watching cat TV. She is spayed, chipped, and just went to the vet for a full check up.

When I initially signed up to foster, they told me that she was one of the top contenders to find a foster home because she is scared of other animals and it causes her anxiety. I picked her up with her head hiding in the corner of her kennel. While I am grateful she landed in a no kill shelter and would take her back if necessary, I really would like her to avoid being that situation again if possible 🥲

Sticks would thrive with:

-One person or a calm, quiet household

-No other pets — she is scared of other animals

I am located in Queens NYC. I work with Second Chance rescue. They are a no-kill-shelter. You would have to fill out an simple application (free) if you are interested. DM me with any questions.

I know that a lot of these are customs, I just want something similar. Thank you!
