Nicole Malliotakis Fostered and Found a Home For Dog That Someone Disposed Of
Last month, the Fire Department pulled a dog out of the Harlem River. Nicole Malliotakis met “Aqua” through the ASPCA and decided to foster him.
Malliotakis took the dog home and within a week, Malliotakis found the dog a forever home!
Malliotakis said that she still has visiting rights because the dog is with someone she knows.
This is a great story and the type of thing that newspapers should be sharing with us!
Large dogs do not get adopted as easily as small and medium dogs at shelters in NYC. Many are killed when they aren’t adopted in 30 days. Malliotakis encouraged others to try fostering a dog. (Info here)
There is a bill in the NYS Senate that Andrew Gounardes will not co-sponsor that could help shelter dogs. (See here) The bill is also in the NYS Assembly and neither Frontus or Tannousis has sponsored the bill to help shelter dogs. (See here)
