On the morning of January 12, in freezing temperatures, a tiny puppy was abandoned at our shelter in terrible condition. We named him Carlos. He was rushed into our veterinary team’s care, where they fought to raise his body temperature and save his life. He was soaked in urine and couldn’t stand. Still, he tried, even offering a few grateful kisses.

Our team did everything possible, but Carlos came to us far too late. Within hours, he passed away.

We are deeply grateful to our Humane Law Enforcement officers and the Albany County Sheriff’s Office for their swift investigation and arrest – the first step toward justice for Carlos. Now, we need your help. Your gift today supports humane law enforcement, legal advocacy on Carlos' and other animals’ behalf, and emergency medical care and rehabilitation for other animals who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. This critical work is funded almost entirely by committed supporters like you.

Please help us give Carlos' life a legacy that protects other animals and says, clearly and loudly, that what happened to him matters and has to be stopped.

THANK YOU FOR CARING ABOUT THE ANIMALS!
