For years, industrial sites that once fueled the city’s economy have sat idle and deteriorating in and around residential areas. Now, the brownfields are presenting an opportunity for residents to re-invent their neighborhoods.
To adopt an animal out who has just arrived (especially from out of the area)is totally irresponsible. Lack of space is no excuse. No reputable shelter or rescue I know of would accept an animal and adopt them out without holding the pet for at least a few days to temperament test, provide at least initial vet care and look for signs of illness. Given the possible outbreak of disease, reputable shelters and rescues would immediately close their doors to adoption, disinfect the entire building, and wait until no new signs of disease outbreak or symptoms are found. Save a Stray should learn by those examples and do the same. If Save a Stray doesn't have room to quarantine animals, perhaps they should stop accepting so many. Adirondack Save a Stray claims they are "saving lives." It appears that they are NOT saving lives since the animals appear to become ill and die very shortly after leaving the Save a Stray facility.
