My story

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

STATEN ISLAND, NY: Handsome, good-boy Newark is on a mission to find his forever home, where he can shower his family with affection and snuggle up for pets!

Charming Newark is 3 years young and weighs 70 lbs. He is affectionate and loves being touched, pet, rubbed, scratched – and is always ready to snuggle! Sadly, he was found as a stray wandering alone on Staten Island before arriving at the city shelter. AmsterDog was able to pull him to safety thanks to his foster, who fell in love with his gorgeous smile and deep, beautiful eyes (he has that effect on people!). Newark has been such a good boy while decompressing, and wow, is he thankful for some cozy blankets and a bed. He has been through a lot so decompression and slow, proper introductions are crucial for this boy’s success. Newark was dog-tested at the shelter and he did well, even going for a walk alongside another dog just fine. He was also around a cat briefly with his original finder and was non-reactive. Newark is food-motivated and easily directed; food is his language, so he will do anything for a treat: he has even already picked up how to sit on command! Newark is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and ready to be your best friend!

Newark is an amazing, resilient dog with a regalness about him. Can he wag his tail in your castle? If you can open your heart and home to Newark, please contact AmsterDog at 917-689-8414 or by e-mail at info@amsterdog.org. Apply to adopt or foster-to-adopt Newark at AmsterDog.org.

Thanks for caring about a pet in need!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

AmsterDog Rescue does not have its own facility. Instead, we rely on fosters to care for our beloved animals. Our available animals may change depending on your location and we do transport animals for adoptions within a reasonable distance. Since you will possibly be speaking with and meeting a foster directly, an application must be filled out prior to meet and greets.
