BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Neighborhood strolls and games of fetch. That’s Tiffany Vuong's way of making a difference during the coronavirus crisis. 

She’s a dedicated volunteer and dog foster for Animal Haven, a nonprofit organization that finds homes for abandoned animals.

Sky's owner didn't want to put her in the shelter but he had to. When a member of his residence contracted the virus last month, nearly 300 seniors were immediately moved to nearby hotels. And they were told they would have to temporarily say goodbye to their furry friends.

“Being able to foster a pet gives them that opportunity to have some sense of normalcy," Vuong said.

Vuong already has a 13-year-old dog of her own, but didn’t hesitate to open her doors.

“Right now there’s a lot of uncertainty, there’s a lot of lives that have been indefinitely upended because of this situation so I'm just really glad that i can give her owner some peace of mind to know that sky will be safe with me until she can be reunited with him," Vuong said.

The Bensonhurst resident says she’s doing everything she can to make Sky feel at home during their time together.

Vuong also documents the memories she’s making with Sky to share with her owner back at the hotel. 

“I try to just send photos of her in different kinds of situations. Here’s a photo of her playing with her toys, here’s a photo of her outside, just so he knows that i’m doing everything I can to make her feel comfortable and make sure she feels loved," Vuong said.

Vuong is no stranger to caring for animals going through tough times. 

The three year long volunteer with Animal Haven takes the shelter pets on hikes and gives tours to potential adopters. 

“It just makes me happy to know that I can be that person to help her and all her other foster dogs find their happy ending," Vuomg said.

Vuong says she’s dedicated her life to bringing hope to their stories. 

So, for treating a perfect stranger’s dog as her own, until the two can reunite once again, Tiffany Vuong is our New Yorker of the Week.
