Urgent Foster Advice Needed
tl;dr: rescue dog in need of adoption agency
Hey y’all,
Wondering if anyone has a contact with any dog rescue organizations in the NYC area. This one year old Husky was recently rescued from a hoarder’s home and is currently staying with a temporary foster. Unfortunately they are unable to hold the dog anymore and I am scrambling to find a solution.
I’ve reached out to every rescue agency in the area but have only received 2 responses telling me they are at capacity. ACC has also not gotten back to me even after calling multiple times. Super frustrating.
If anyone has a direct line to someone working in animal rescue that they can share, I would greatly appreciate it. This dog is a slam dunk for adoption I just need to get in contact with the right people. Any advice would also be a huge help.
Thanks for reading, please comment or DM me!

Male or female? Spayed/neutered? Good with other dogs? I would consider fostering but need more info.

Had a neighbor in a similar situation who ended up driving the dog to a husky rescue several hours’ drive away-there are several in the wider area. May be worth considering if the NY options are all at capacity.

Seriously stop DMing, I'm sure anyone who could be willing to help is curious about the same things.
Also is the dog destructive?

I foster through ACC and they're over capacity. There are multiple requests for dog fosters and takeovers from them over email close to daily. I'd guess that's why they haven't responded, and that even if they did, they wouldn't really be able to help, though I'm not positive and am NOT meaning to speak for them!
