🚨 URGENT: Fosters Needed for Two NYC Dogs on Emergency Placement List 🚨

The shelter crisis in NYC is reaching a breaking point, and two incredible dogs—Maeve and Wigi—are counting on us to save their lives. These beautiful pups were part of Mike Ruiz’s Shelter Pawtrait series, a testament to how powerful photography can shine a light on overlooked dogs, especially pitbull mixes who face negative stereotypes. But even the most stunning photos can’t overcome the reality: without foster homes, these dogs are at risk.

We are ready to pull Maeve and Wigi from Manhattan’s Animal Care Center, but we desperately need committed fosters to make this possible.

🐾 Meet Maeve (black)
Maeve is a 5-year-old, 51-pound female pitbull mix with a playful, energetic personality. Her ideal foster family will embrace her zest for life and help her channel her energy into positive outlets through training and enrichment. Maeve does best with older kids and needs a foster willing to support her with slow introductions to other dogs—she greets calmly but benefits from guidance when off-leash. Maeve has so much love to give and just needs a safe space to thrive.

👉 Learn more about Maeve and see her full profile here: https://buff.ly/3WgT703

🐾 Meet Wigi (gray)
Wigi is a 2-year-old, 60-pound male pitbull mix who came to the shelter as an owner surrender. Though he currently has a trial placement, we want to be ready to step in and give him a lifeline if it falls through. Wigi deserves a second chance at life, and we need a foster home in place to make that happen.

How You Can Help
Becoming a foster isn’t just opening your home—it’s saving a life. We provide all the supplies, medical care, and support you need. You provide love, patience, and a safe space for these dogs to decompress and prepare for their forever homes.

If you’re ready to help Maeve, Wigi, or any other dog in need, please reach out immediately. The clock is ticking, and their lives depend on us. Together, we can make a difference!

Thank you for being the lifeline Maeve and Wigi so desperately need. Let’s give them the chance they deserve!

Meet Maui & Moana! 🐾

Introducing Maui and Moana, two playful, sweet, and absolutely irresistible 2.5-month-old mixed-breed puppies. These “mystery pups” are likely Lab mixes with maybe a splash of Australian Shepherd—but their unique charm is all their own! Fostered in Cincinnati, Ohio, these two cuties are looking for loving homes where they can grow into happy, well-loved dogs. 💖

🐶 Meet Maui
With his crème-colored coat and a playful yet cuddly personality, Maui is the whole package! At 14 lbs, Maui is the most assertive of his littermates, always ready for a romp or wrestle before curling up with his foster mom for some snuggles. He sleeps peacefully through the night with his siblings and loves his foster’s Bassett Hound buddy. Maui is intelligent, vocal in the cutest way (puppy howls, anyone?), and already uses puppy pads reliably.

🐾 Meet Moana
Moana’s shiny black coat, accented with white on her chest, paws, and tail tip, makes her a real beauty! True to her adventurous name, Moana loves to play and explore with her siblings before settling in for nap time. At 11 lbs, she’s slightly smaller than Maui but equally full of love. Moana is great with her foster family’s Bassett Hound, sleeps through the night with her littermates, and is ready to learn potty training.

Both Maui and Moana will thrive in homes where they’ll receive lots of love, training, and structure as they grow. If one of these adorable pups sounds like the perfect fit for your family, don’t wait—apply today to bring Maui or Moana home! 🏡
