纽约市动物护理中心（ACC）周六表示，由于所有站点均已达到最大容量且无法接收更多宠物，该机构将不得不拒绝收容动物，这在其历史上尚属首次。
尽管将暂停常规收容服务，动物护理中心（ACC）仍将继续开放动物领养业务，并接收需要紧急医疗救助、构成公共安全风险或由政府机构移交的动物。ACC称当前收容数量已达极限，情况堪称“危机”——其照管的动物已超过1000只，每日仍有更多宠物被送来，但中心已无额外容纳空间。
该组织于周四收容的第1000只宠物是一只名为罗基（Rocky）的狗，年龄约10至13岁。据报道，罗基过去七年一直与家人生活，进入新环境后显得紧张不安。
据ACC（动物护理中心）发言人向《每日新闻》透露，Rocky是中心照料的382只成年犬之一，此外还有13只幼犬、383只猫、163只幼猫、47只兔子、12只豚鼠及数只鸟类。目前ACC另有290只宠物寄养在志愿者家庭中，其中180只可直接从寄养家庭领养。
一位美国大学体育联盟（ACC）的消息人士向《每日新闻》透露，当前的运力危机已达到"史上最严峻程度"。
据ACC研究显示，今年每三只被送至ACC的宠物中，就有一只是因住房问题遭弃养——主人或因搬迁至更小住所无力照料宠物，或因生活成本过高搬离城市时无法携带宠物。
据消息人士透露，该市动物收容所超负荷运转的部分原因是“人们经济拮据，无力承担城市生活成本”。
当然，养宠物也需要投入一定的时间和精力。
ACC发言人表示：“我们每天都会听到这样的话：‘我实在没时间了。’但你的宠物并不需要你付出全部时间——只需一点努力、一点关爱，以及让它们留在心爱家园的机会。”
除鼓励领养宠物外，美国动物保护协会（ACC）还敦促宠物主人在无力继续照料时为其动物寻找新家，同时也呼吁人们"尽力想办法留住你的宠物"。
住房危机爆发之际，动物控制中心（ACC）近期接连发现两起事件：数十只遭遗弃的狗被塞进破败房屋中，最终不得不由该机构实施救援。
上个月，在它们73岁的主人去世后，80只毛发打结、无人照料且营养不良的狗从布鲁克林一处肮脏的住所中被救出。
当警方和动物救援组织在米尔盆地国家大道附近的东66街住宅逐间搜查时，其中一只母犬正在分娩幼崽，最终他们成功解救了数十只犬只。
美国防止虐待动物协会（ACC）在Instagram上发布声明称，该机构刚刚在布鲁克林的一处公寓展开新一轮大规模救援行动。此前公寓主人被发现已离世，预计需要转移80多只犬只。随声明发布的照片显示，不同品种的狗狗蜷缩在房间各个角落和堆积如山的干狗粮袋之间。
该机构发文称：“许多（动物）毛发严重缠结，大部分显现病态，我们团队抵达时甚至有一只正在分娩。它们长期生活在难以想象的肮脏环境中。”
今年5月，纽约皇后区一间狭小肮脏的公寓内发现40多只遭受虐待的比利时玛利诺犬被塞得满满当当，由此引发一起虐待动物调查。美国防止虐待动物协会（ACC）称，这处位于里戈公园的小房子里挤满了蜷缩在各处的犬只，甚至连壁橱和厨房橱柜里都有。
官方表示，根据社区居民提供的线索，动物救援人员找到了位于黄石大道附近62号路的这间公寓。
美国防止虐待动物协会（ACC）行为与收容所运营主管塔拉·梅尔卡多表示：“据报道，这些狗一生都被完全禁锢在狭小空间里。我们发现成年马犬被藏在柜子里，或塞在家具后面。”
这些小狗被送往皇后区动物护理中心（ACC）。ACC官员表示，它们并未表现出饥饿或营养不良的迹象。
警方消息人士称，在该公寓内发现了48只狗。消息人士表示，由于健康状况极度糟糕，其中至少有三只狗不得不在现场实施安乐死。
在持续的动物收容所危机中，美国动物保护中心（ACC）正鼓励纽约市民领养宠物。该机构与非营利组织"最佳朋友动物协会"合作，每周六和周日中午11点至下午5点，在布鲁克林瓦雷特街232号的The Spot Brooklyn举办领养活动。所有宠物均已接种疫苗、植入芯片，并根据情况完成绝育手术。
领养者还可通过NYCACC应用程序查看部分待领养的流浪宠物。
For the first time in the New York City Animal Care Centers’ history, the organization will have to turn away sheltering animals as it has reached full capacity at all of its sites and can’t take in any more pets, ACC said Saturday.
Although it will be suspending general intake, ACC will remain open for adoptions, plus drop-off of animals that require emergency medical care or that pose a public safety risk and those being dropped off by government agencies. ACC called its reaching maximum capacity a “crisis” as it has surpassed 1,000 animals in its care and is out of space to take in any more, despite more pets arriving every day.
The 1,000th pet, which was taken in on Thursday by the organization, was a dog named Rocky, said to be 10 to 13 years old. Rocky was reportedly nervous entering the new environment after having lived with his family for the past seven years.
Rocky was among 382 adult dogs in ACC’s care, along with 13 puppies, 383 cats, 163 kittens, 47 rabbits, 12 guinea pigs and several birds. ACC also currently has 290 pets in foster care, with 180 available for adoption directly from their foster homes, a spokesperson told the Daily News.
“It’s the worst it’s ever been,” an ACC source told the Daily News of the capacity crisis.
The cause of one of every three pets being given over to ACC this year is housing insecurity, with their owners having to relocate to a smaller place and unable to take care of their pet or moving out of the city due to the high cost of living and being unable to take their pet with them, according to ACC studies.
As the source put it, the city’s animal shelter overload is partly being driven by the fact that “people are broke and can’t afford to live in the city.”
And, of course, pets simply require a certain amount of time and care.
“We hear it every day: I just dont have time anymore,”” the ACC spokesperson said. “But your pet doesnt need all your time just a little effort, a little care, and the chance to stay in the home they love.”
In addition to adopting pets, ACC is urging pet owners to rehome their animals if they can no longer care for them and also to just “try to figure out a way to keep your pet.”
The housing crisis comes amid two recent discoveries of scores of neglected dogs jammed into decrepit homes that ACC had to rescue.
Last month, 80 matted, neglected and malnourished dogs were pulled out of a filthy Brooklyn home after their 73-year-old owner died.
One of the pooches was giving birth to puppies as police and animal rescue groups went room by room, recovering scores of dogs from the E. 66th St. home near National Drive in Mill Basin.
ACC has just begun another massive rescue effort, this time in a Brooklyn apartment where we estimate 80+ dogs will need to be removed after their owner was found deceased, ACC said on Instagram as the agency posted photos of dogs of different breeds cowering in every corner of the home and among massive bags of dry dog food.
Many are severely matted, most appear sick, and one was actively giving birth as our team arrived. All have been living in unimaginable filth, the agency posted.
In May, more than 40 maltreated Belgian Malinois dogs were found jam-packed in a cramped, filthy Queens apartment , sparking an animal cruelty investigation. The small Rego Park home was crowded with canines cowering in every corner, even in closets and kitchen cupboards, ACC said.
Community tips led animal rescuers to the apartment, on 62nd Rd. near Yellowstone Blvd., officials said.
These dogs have reportedly lived in total confinement for their entire lives, said Tara Mercado, ACCs director of behavior and shelter operations. We found full-grown Malinois hidden in cabinets and crammed behind furniture.
The pooches were transported to the Queens ACC center. They didnt appear starved or malnourished, ACC officials said.
Police sources said that 48 dogs were found in the apartment. At least three had to be euthanized at the scene because they were in such poor health, the sources said.
Amid the ongoing animal shelter crisis, ACC is encouraging New Yorkers to adopt pets. It’s holding adoption events in Brooklyn along with the nonprofit Best Friends Animal Society on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at The Spot Brooklyn, at 232 Varet St. Each pet comes vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered, if applicable.
Adopters can also views some of the homeless pets on the NYCACC app .
