My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Penelope was born in 2010. She is a sweet girl who loves people but is not so great with other dogs. She was not socialized very well when she was younger so although we have seen improvements with her, we still feel it would be best if she was the only pet in a household.
We really appreciate your wanting to give a shelter animal a home and encourage you to search for just the right pet.
Head to humanesocietyny.org/adoptions and either email it back to k9care@verizon.net, fax it to (212) 752-2803 or bring it in to the Humane Society of New York, 306 East 59 Street (between 1st + 2nd Avenues) New York, NY 10022. Our adoption hours are 7 days a week, 10:30 - 4:00
The Humane Society of New York 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!
