SIMMY – A1084633
Safe - 8-23-2016 Brooklyn
**SAFE 08/23/16**BEGINNER-RATED SIMMY DESERVES BETTER! This super friendly boy earned a perfect rating from the ACC and certainly deserves to be placed in a loving foster/adoptive home, but since the ACC couldn’t even be bothered to have taken a decent photo of him, something as complicated as a home was clearly out of the question for them. “We know how much New Yorkers love their pets, especially those in need of a home” said Mayor de Blasio in April of this year……but those New Yorkers haven’t been kicking down the ACC doors to give SIMMY a home. Well, it probably sounded like a good thing to say in the context of that interview, but soundbites are NOT going to save SIMMY when the euth technician heads his way with a lethal injection, tomorrow. Only a FOSTER or ADOPTER can save his life, so please find one for him tonight!
