Promise Broken, Luigi Still Hopes for New Home

Here is one of hundreds dogs and cats available for adoption at the New Rochelle Humane Society.

From the New Rochelle Humane Society:

Luigi is what we refer to as a “Broken Promise.” 

Luigi was adopted from New Rochelle Humane Society when he was a tiny, rolly poly 8-week-old puppy. His adopter “promised” to love and care for Luigi forever.

But within a few months Luigi’s adopter was too busy to care for a young growing pup. He gave Luigi away and sadly Luigi wound up abandoned by this person on the streets of New Jersey. Luigi was found and taken to a shelter.

Fortunately, a microchip traced Luigi back to New Rochelle Humane Society and he is now back in our care. Luigi had received little training, and being a large dog, no one has had any interest in looking at him.

Due to the hard work of our volunteers Luigi is now a well-mannered dog, but still waiting for someone to pick him to be part of their family.

Contact the New Rochelle Humane Society for more information. They are located at 70 Portman Rd. in New Rochelle. Their phone number is 914-632-2925.

It breaks my heart to see animals so poorly treated and so many looking for homes. We need to stop the puppy and kitten mills. We have too many animals and nobody to take care of them. So they're now being put down by the hundreds or thousands everyday in this country.

Unbelievable. I hope Luigi finds the loving home that he deserves. We adopted our dog on January 1, 2012. She was 8 months old, had little training and she is a large dog too (she's a black lab/Australian Cattle dog mix.) However, with lots of patience and love, she is a wonderful addition to our lives and we are all very happy we found each other.

It seemed to me the key point of moving the City Yard from the waterfront was to open up theRead More waterfront and turn that run down and obsolete yard into a public park overlooking Long Island Sound. The westside site was the most cost effective place to move the yard. Not ideal, but no real alternative has been proposed. I don't think this has much to do with racism. All races can enjoy more of the waterfront. Any development around it will add to our tax base

Ms. Aronow, The issue is that an alternative has been suggested, Ward Acres, as it is much largerRead More and strategically beneficial for the City of New Rochelle. I don't think the recent public discussions has resulted in unanimity in terms of the waterfront being an entirely public venue for all races to enjoy.
