Where do these homeless people and families go?

This is ta new Citibike rack on Shore Road and 91st Street – it is across the street from Shore Hill Housing for seniors.

March 13, 2026Thankful for Andrea & Another Kind Brooklynite
This dog was walking alone today in our neighborhood. Andrea saw him while she was walking her dog and quickly called for someone to grab him.
These Brooklynites didn’t know this dog, but they didn’t hesitate to help him. They brought him into their home, took a photo and shared it on social media. The owner quickly retrieved the dog from Andrea.
I’m so grateful there are kind people in our neighborhood, who would immediately help a dog and even bring the dog into their home to keep him safe.
