STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Just weeks ago, two dozen huskies were living in such decrepit conditions within a Tompkinsville lot that one of the puppies died, according to authorities, while others were in poor health.

Now, in the hands of the ASPCA, the dogs are getting a new chance at life.

The huskies have been receiving medical care, behavioral treatment and enrichment since they were transferred to the organization’s care.

As National Foster Appreciation Week approaches, the ASCPA says the dogs rescued from the lot — along with a large population of other dogs in the shelter — are currently looking for foster homes to spend time in as they receive ongoing treatment.

The new homes serve as a break from the shelter, according to the ASPCA, and can help them acclimate to an eventual life in a home.

To become a foster caregiver, city residents need to complete three steps.

First, they can register with ASPCApro and watch a video, which will inform interested individuals on the program and how they can help.

Then, they can take the required quiz in ASPCApro.

Once the quiz is completed with a passing score, residents will be able to complete an online foster application to relay their experience and foster preferences.
