My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is a Courtesy Listing and has no affiliation with Petrescue. Please contact the owner listed below directly.
Onyx is a beautiful 2 year old Shepherd/Husky mix. She is housebroken, up to date on vaccines and has no medical issues. Onyx has lived happily with her current family, but unfortunately one member of her family has developed an allergy to her so she cannot stay. So through no fault of her own, she is now looking for a new forever home. Onyx is a great dog. She’s a smart girl and knows lots of tricks…the basics like “ sit, lay down, paw” and also more advanced tricks. Playing is one of her favorite things…tug of war or fetch. She’ll even bring you toys and place them in your lap to entice you to play. Onyx has high stamina and loves to go on energetic walks. She will do best in a calm, yet active adult/teen household where she can go out and explore more often, even daily if possible. Onyx is sometimes referred to as a “velcro” dog. She loves affection and is a major cuddler whose favorite spot is right beside you…a scratch on her belly, behind her ears or under her chin is always welcome. If housed with another dog, it should be one to match her size and energy level, and no cats. Onyx currently lives in a house with a fenced in yard, but she has done some agility courses and has proven that she can jump at least 4 feet high and cover lots of ground, so it must be high and secure. Onyx is also somewhat of a Houdini, opening things using her paw and nose! Onyx has been loved her whole life and hopes she can go to a family where the love, affection, trust, awarding, training and all aspects of her life can continue.

Additional adoption info

To adopt a cat or dog, please fill out an adoption application from our website: https://www.ny-petrescue.org under the "adopt" tab. The adoption donation for a puppy/dog is $400; a cat is $125; and a kitten is $150 (higher amounts for pure breeds). If the puppy or kitten is too young to be neutered, we require a spay/neuter deposit of $60 which is refundable upon receipt of proof from your vet. All adoption donations are tax-deductible. Our pets are examined by a veterinarian, spayed and neutered if age appropriate, vaccinated, dewormed, receive flea/tick treatment and microchipped. Our review process may happen quickly (within two days) or may take up to two weeks - email is our preferred means of communication. Please contact us by email at nypetrescue@gmail.com for a status on your application.

Go meet their pets

We have Dog & Puppy Meet + Greets every Saturday from 11:30am-1:30pm at Pet Rescue, 7 Harrison Ave, Harrison NY. All are welcome to attend; only approved applicants can take home a pet. Kitty Cottage open houses are by appt only - please call (914) 835-4133 to make an appt.

Please check our events calendar here: https://ny-petrescue.org/Events-Calendar

While many of our animals are kenneled in our facility, many are fostered in loving homes which provides special care and attention - and allows Pet Rescue to expertly match our pets with prospective homes.

More about this rescue

Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization founded in 1982 by volunteer workers who met at a "no-kill" animal shelter. Dismayed at the terrible living conditions of the animals there, they left to establish a rescue group to properly care for cats and dogs in need, and find them safe and loving homes.

Many of our animals are fostered by group members and outside volunteers, while other animals are housed at our facility. The animals come from various places. Some come from owners who are no longer able to care for them. Others are taken from shelters, yet still others (many others) come from the streets. Those rescued from the streets often arrive sick or injured, and are subsequently treated by veterinarians. We have great success finding homes for puppies and kittens as well as older animals and those with special needs (such as blind and handicapped cats and dogs). We pride ourselves on finding the best match between people and pets. We average about 600 adoptions per year!

We are always in need of donations to help us continue our mission - and we could not survive without our wonderful volunteers. We are always in need of more foster homes. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about us! https://www.ny-petrescue.org
