Rep. Joyce Beatty @RepBeatty · 6m For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this move. Also for the record, this was not on the agenda.

New York. About Melia Melia is a sensitive 3-year-old female dog who arrived at the shelter in October 2022 after being found abandoned in an empty apartment. Despite being briefly reclaimed and fostered, she has been returned to the shelter multiple times and has spent over 800 days there as of late 2025. Personality: Melia has a gentle spirit and thrives outside the stressful kennel environment, enjoying peaceful walks and quiet companionship with people she trusts. She is a bit nervous and needs a patient home that can help her learn to feel safe. Ideal Home: She requires a calm, low-traffic, adult-only home with no other dogs. An experienced adopter who understands that building trust takes time is essential for her success.

a person wearing white scrubs and teal gloves holds a tan puppy up to their chest. Ophelia the puppy is resting her front paws on the person's hand. her legs are shaved from where she's been connected to IV tubes. her face is sad and exhausted, but she is incredibly adorable. Ophelia is being held by a person wearing blue scrubs and gloves. the tan puppy is wearing a pink collar and her front leg is dirty. her tongue is slightly hanging out of her mouth. a person wearing yellow scrubs and teal gloves holds two tan puppies in their arms. they've just been pulled out of the transport van behind them.

This is Tender. He has parvovirus... and he's NOT thrilled about it. His littermate already passed away, but Tender is showing signs of improvement. You can help us cover the cost of his hospitalization and continued care below ❤️‍🩹

15outof10.org/tender
a white Siberian husky puppy with tan ears sits in a secluded room in a vet's office on a bed made of white towels. his head is down, but he’s looking up with piercing blue eyes and a sinister blep. the markings around his eyes make it look as if his brows are severely furrowed like a super villain. he’s a spooky little guy. we’d recommend donating to his care or he’ll probably curse you for 7 years.

This is Noah. He was hit by a car, which snapped both bones in his front leg. It was swollen, covered in deep cuts and painful. He had a plate and screws installed to realign the bones. He now needs weekly splint changes and bed rest while he heals. You can help him below ❤️‍🩹

15outof10.org/noah
a white and gray pit mix with blue eyes and a red collar stands outside. he's holding up his front left leg, which is swollen and broken. his top lip is stuck on his teef. it almost seems as if he's trying to show you his ouchie. side by side x-rays of Noah's broken bones before and after surgery. on the left his bones are severely broken. on the right, his bones have been realigned with a plate that runs down the leg with 10 screws. he can forget any future travel plans because there's no way he's getting through airport security now. Noah sits on a blue blanket on the floor of a vet's office. he's wearing a large plastic cone around his neck, and his broken leg is wrapped in green and blue bandage. he cranes his neck as he looks toward the camera with a goofy expression on his face.
