My story

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

Alexandra (born 1/23/2025) came to the Humane Society of New York as a small puppy because she had been attached by another dog who injured her eye. We immediately took her to the ophthalmologist who let us know that she was blind in that eye and would not see from her left eye for the rest of her life. We followed the doctor’s orders, and though her left eye will never have sight, with extra special care and nursing her eye did not have to be removed. Alexandra will need to be on daily eye drops, but otherwise, she can enjoy a wonderful happy life. Sweet, funny, playful Alexandra weighs 11 ½ pounds and her DNA Test revealed that she is 59.1% Pekingese, 20.7% Yorkshire Terrier and 20.2% Shih Tzu and absolutely One of A Kind! Alexandra has a wonderful friendly personality. She enjoys playing with her toys and the other small dogs, daily brushing (is a must!) and is currently wee wee pad trained.

We really appreciate that you want to give a shelter animal a home. The Humane Society of New York was founded in 1904.

We also have a great adoption matchmaking team who will gladly take your profile and match you or your pet with just the right cat or dog companion. We start the process once you have submitted an application to us.

Donation
Won't you please sponsor this pet? Click the button above. You can give as much or as little as you like. Your donation is tax deductible. Thank you and our furry ones 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. And because we don't "dispose" of them for this, our cost for keeping them healthy and becoming better companions is high.
