In a historic legal move, a New York court has made dogs official "immediate family members" in a case involving emotional distress.

This groundbreaking decision comes after a woman witnessed her dog being struck and killed by a car while leashed to her body. For the first time, the court allowed a negligent infliction of emotional distress claim for the death of a pet, something previously reserved for human relatives.

While the ruling is under appeal and remains specific to this case, it raises big questions about how the law views the bond between humans and animals. But not everyone’s on board; veterinary groups are concerned that recognizing pets in this way could lead to higher liability costs and even impact veterinary care prices.

As this case progresses, it’s pushing us to rethink how we value the relationship between people and their pets.

✨ EMERGENCY FOSTER EVENT TODAY! ✨

There are 560 dogs at The Animal Foundation this morning, and we are in desperate need of FOSTERS for medium and large dogs TODAY! 🆘

We’re holding a foster event from 11 to 7. Come to our adoptions building and we will be able to help you take home a dog. This event is made possible thanks to Best Friends Animal Society.

Even a two-week commitment can save lives. We provide all veterinary care and supplies.

Please complete our foster application before you arrive: https://bit.ly/3nNZhH6

This is truly URGENT.

When our shelter reaches numbers this high, we face serious concerns regarding the health and well-being of the animals in our shelter. When there are this many dogs so close together, we are at a higher risk of infectious disease.

We’re open until 7 today for adoptions, foster, reclaims and more.

We need your support NOW more than ever.

Interested in donating? We’ve created a Space Crisis Wishlist: https://bit.ly/3KN9A60

Other ways you can help:

If you find a healthy and friendly dog, try to find their owner before bringing them to the shelter. They likely have a home nearby and a family waiting for them to return.
