A Queens family is outraged and demanding answers from the city after they said their dog was wrongly euthanized at a New York City animal shelter, just hours after it arrived there
But the ACC said that Leona had a heart murmur, severe dental issues, was blind and deaf — so she was ultimately euthanized. The group said that"a comprehensive physical exam was done by a veterinarian indicating Leona was in a very debilitated state, suffering from progressive neurological symptoms," and opted to end her life.
The Leon family insists that the ACC Brooklyn shelter violated its own policy of waiting a full 72 hours to give a potential owner time to reclaim a pet. A couple of dog owners say there was a lack of urgency from a dog-sitting business in Queens after one of their dogs slipped out of its leash and got lost. NBC New York's Gaby Acevedo reports.
"No matter how much it hurts, I am gonna talk about this everyday and fight for it everyday," Ericka Leon said.
