New York Legislation Would Require Release of Animal from Shelter to Rescue Group if Requested Prior to Euthanasia

New York Assembly Bill 7155 would require the release of a companion animal from an animal shelter to a rescue group upon the group’s request prior to the euthanasia of the animal. The bill would also require animal shelters to notify any rescue organization of a scheduled euthanasia not less than two business days prior if that rescue organization has requested such notification.
