Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Buddy is a champion. He is a senior dog that has been through a lot, if you can't tell from his photos. He is a small Shih Tzu who came to us because he "was sick". When his "owner" realized the amount of medical attention required would exceed far beyond what they expected, they decided to leave Buddy in our care and then to find him a new home once he was all better.
The main issue he had was an eye infection that went ignored for so long that we had to remove his eye. He seemed so depressed and slept a lot after his surgery. But luckily, fast forward after weeks of R & R and Buddy is doing SO MUCH better! His spirits are up and he is a very happy boy.
He will continue to require medicine for his remaining eye (which is somewhat limited in vision) for the rest of his life. He can be startled a bit easier then most dogs, due to his lack of vision so although he is OK with other pets, he can be skittish. We are looking for someone to guide this dog, take care of him when he needs it the most, and to be his Buddy too. He will certainly return the favor.
We really appreciate your wanting to give a shelter animal a home and encourage you to search for just the right pet.
FOR APPLICATION, please visit http://humanesocietyny.org/adoptions/ and download then email it to sandra.hsny@verizon.net, fax it to (212) 752-2803 or bring it in to the adoption center.
The Humane Society is a no-kill shelter. Our on-site clinic and staff of skilled Veterinarians looks after the health and well-being of every animal here. We offer FREE Vet care for the first 3 weeks after adoption. We also have a great adoption matchmaker who will gladly take your profile and match you or your pet with just the right cat or dog companion. Please feel free to submit your application!
If you'd like to sponsor this dog, please email sandra.hsny@verizon.net. You can give as much or as little as you like. Your donation is tax deductible. Thank you and our furry ones say thank you.
Each and every animal here is very special to us. We are dedicated to finding each one just the right home. So for some cats and dogs, that means a much longer stay - as sometimes they are not as outgoing, pretty or have as perfect manners as they could be. And because we don't "dispose" of them for this, our cost for keeping them healthy and becoming better companions is high.
Our one and only location is:
306 East 59th Street (between 1st & 2nd Avenue) in Manhattan.
Our adoption hours are 7 days a week, 10:30AM - 4:00PM.
