What a cutie and not a cat! Why so many?!
17 dogs….. this is unbelievable! So mad and heartbroken that NYCACC thinks this is acceptable. 😡
Folgers is absolutely stunning! This pup is getting a bad rap since he bit the assessor. My favorite is “biting the finger off the assess-a-hand”. These frickin kindergarten assessors can’t even spell or write a coherent sentence and we’re suppose to believe they can properly give qualified evaluations! What a sick joke!!!! They should fire everyone in this place! 😡
Folgers has cute photos and videos! This gorgeous fella needs a home! Let’s show NYCACC and save them all! Praying and sharing with lots of love and hope! 🐾💜🙏🏻
who assessed this hunky sweetie there not a thing wrong with this dog at all 10.00
Watch his video, he takes treats gently and runs to bury his head into the lap of the staff member. He has only been there 4 days… please share and pledge for handsome, sweetie Folgers.
$60 in pledges so far
Watch his video very sweet and gentle just wants love please save him pledge 100
He’s a doll……bottom line, he didn’t understand that stupid tag part of that ridiculous assessment and he was confused by that damn assess-a-hand thing. He’s an absolute love, a perfect dog.
Please share and pledge for Folgers!
You know when I see messed up notes like this, Such as Folgers came to center as a stray cat I can’t help but wonder, what else ACC screw up on that can get this poor dog killed, and by looking at Folgers video, I really have to wonder….But if the notes are correct..Folgers is not leaving ACC without a Foster or adopter..biting the assessors hand is unforgivable according to ACC ..So please understand that this poor boy is very scared, and doesn’t know why he was brought to this loud hectic scary place….If Folgers shows guarding issues it can be corrected..It should not mean a death sentence..Look at his video, and thank you for having one for Folgers..He is showing affection to the Volunteer/employee by burying his head deep in her lap, enjoying the attention they are giving this sweet boy..He is a happy dog with a waggy tail, and wiggly butt, and he is just gorgeous.. Please adopt Folgers, and get him out of this horrible God Forsaken place, before ACC Murders him today..If you can’t commit long term, foster Folgers, and save his life..Fostering in most cases is free, but must check with Help Desk on Rescues that offer free fostering, because some don’t..Share and find this sweet boy a home for the Holidays..Pledging gets him noticed by the rescues and pays for his care.. There is only 3 ways Folgers is leaving ACC today..either by fosterong, adoption,, or in a body bag ..ACC is catching up on their kills, because of the Holidays..Don’t let Folgers be another kill. Folgers must be adopted through NH Rescue..Contact Help Desk for questions ..
Messed up notes are common. Idiots will be idiots. And dogs suffer because of it. Just one more thing to dislike about this “care center.”

There is research out there that cast large diubt on the resource guarding tests with the obviously fake hands.
Canines know the difference between a strange object and a real hand. Folgers is a smart little cookie and deserves better than ebding his life here based on all too often fallable tests. The testers need uodated training as well as screening. Just as there are teachers who hate children, there are testers who hate dogs or a particular breed.
my sons dog does that wabts and forces hugs
Folgers has a gentle war look ob his face in the vudeis, he is the color of carmeluzed coffee and has the personality.

There are others articles that involve more research.
Sorry to be peppering, but resource guarding is a big failure in testing aggression and yet is most often used to murder dogs like Folger.
Another day for this awesome pup! Let’s make it count! #SaveFolgers 💙🤞
Keep sharing him everywhere!
