Story
Meet Titus — the sweetest little shadow you could ask for! This boy is the definition of a velcro puppy. Wherever you are, that’s exactly where Titus wants to be. Doing chores? He’s your helper. Watching TV on the couch? He’s curled up beside you showering you with kisses. Bathroom trip? Yep… he’ll probably volunteer as your emotional support puppy there too. Titus is a happy, high-energy boy that loves zoomies and gets so excited he’ll bounce around on his back legs like a tiny kangaroo. He’s playful, goofy, and full of personality. Crinkly toys are a favorite, and chewing on his Benebone is serious business. He’s great with other dogs and kids and would love a family ready for adventures, playtime, and lots of cuddles. Titus is currently working on potty training and does really well as long as his people go outside with him — he just likes having his buddy nearby. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend that will love you with his whole heart, Titus is your boy. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Mary Ann and Ginger, an adorable bonded pair of medium-sized rescue dogs who are searching for their forever home. These super cute girls have spent their entire lives on their own until they were recently rescued. Despite their rough beginnings, Mary Ann and Ginger are incredibly sweet and are now learning to enjoy the comforts of a loving home. Both Mary Ann and Ginger get along wonderfully with other dogs, though they haven't had the chance to meet any cats yet. They need a patient adopter who will give them the time and space they need to adjust to their new surroundings and discover the joys of being cherished pets. Ginger, who bravely underwent heartworm treatment, is now healthy and heartworm negative. Both dogs are fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and on preventatives. They even tolerate baths and absolutely love being petted. Currently, Mary Ann and Ginger are being fostered in Seguin, TX, where they are receiving the care and love they deserve. If you have a kind heart and a gentle hand, these two sweethearts will surely reward you with endless affection and loyalty. Adopt Mary Ann and Ginger and give them the loving home they've always dreamed of.

Story
 ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home.  In some cases, we can help transport.  Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions  follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:)         Meet Blaze: 1-Year-Old 45lbs  Island Boy with Big PersonalityFrom Puerto Rico with Love (and a Solid Bark) Blaze with a family with two kids who he adore. Unfortunately the family is going through a divorce. Blaze is what you get when you mix a loyal guardian with a total goofball—basically, the best of both worlds if you’re ready for an adventure. This handsome fawn-and-white rescue came all the way from Puerto Rico and arrived fully housebroken (seriously, this guy knows what he’s doing).The Blaze absolutely LIVES for backyard runs—he’s got the athleticism and the boundless energy of a dog who was born to move. When he’s not zooming around like his tail’s on fire, he’s ready to flop on the couch for serious cuddle sessions. He’s equal parts protective pooch and silly companion, with a bark that’ll let you know he’s looking out for his people, but a wag that says he’s just happy to be near you.Like most young, energetic dogs, Blaze loves  toys, that random shoe you left out… it’s all fair game to him. He needs an owner who’ll give him appropriate outlets (lots of durable toys, puzzle toys, and healthy chew alternatives) and can channel that enthusiasm with exercise and training.Your Perfect Match: You’re active, you’ve got space for this boy to run, and you’re looking for a dog who’s part protector, part best friend. You understand that young dogs need patience, exercise, and boundaries—and you’re ready to invest that time. If you can give Blaze a structured home with regular exercise and training, he’ll give you loyalty, laughs, and cuddles in return.The Bottom Line: Blaze is a stunning, soulful boy with so much love to give. He deserves a home as amazing as he is. Ready to be his person?     All dogs are located in NY/NJ area All our puppies need puppy play dates/doggy facetime so we recommend homes with other pups or daily interactions to keep them tired out, happy and social.     Facebook: Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff  Instagram: zanisfurryfriends   Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped (not Lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it!)  All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport.  Please go to our site  https://zanisfurryfriends.org  fill out an application  Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent--please ask by writing us at dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB. If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too.   Please consider providing a home for more than one dog, especially if you are considering adopting a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and very much enjoy as well as need other dog company to learn to play, socialize and be good companion animals to people. The upside to this is that you won't feel as guilty leaving them alone and you get twice the love. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer, and you can always donate! If you want to know about cats/dogs specifically being shown at our adoption locations, please email us info@zanisfurryfriends.org closer to the date so we know your interest and will make every effort to have that pet at the event or let you know how and where you can meet.  It is extemely helpful and speeds up adoption if the application is filled out prior to visiting us so please do that before coming to our weekend events. Our weekend locations are: Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent  Follow us on FB, Zani's Furry Friends ZFF, for latest updates. Usually we are in our foster homes so all this is a bit more stressful but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes. Please come!

Story
This is a Courtesy Listing and has no affiliation with Petrescue. Please contact the owner listed below directly. Toby is a 6-year-old neutered Basenji who is up to date on all vaccinations and looking for a special home that understands his needs and will give him the love and stability he deserves. He is completely house-trained and spends much of his day happily curled up in his cozy bed, catching up on naps. While he enjoys relaxing indoors, he also needs an active home where he can get regular exercise. He loves running around the backyard on a long lead, playing fetch, and during the winter, you'll find him leaping into the air to catch snowballs—his absolute favorite game! Toby cannot be off-leash and should always be in a securely managed environment. He is also afraid of water and does not enjoy baths. Around the people he knows and trusts, Toby is a sweet, affectionate cuddle bug. He loves curling up in laps, giving kisses, and spending quality time with his family. Having a safe space of his own is very important to him. His crate, complete with a soft bed, serves as his cozy retreat where he feels secure and comfortable. Toby warms up to new people fairly quickly when introductions are calm and positive, especially if they come bearing some of his favorite treats! Cheese, peanut butter, bananas, and just about any kind of meat are sure ways to win him over. He also enjoys chewing on bully sticks and stuffed Kongs. Because of his behavioral needs, Toby requires an experienced and understanding home. He has fear-based aggression, food aggression, and guarding behaviors that will need continued management and respect for his boundaries. He would do best as the only pet in the home, as he is not compatible with other dogs or cats. Toby does well with respectful children ages 8 and older. His ideal home is one that is patient, calm, active, and committed to helping him feel safe and secure. In return, he will reward his trusted people with loyalty, affection, cuddles, and plenty of personality. More than anything, we want to find Toby a loving, cage-free home where he can continue to thrive and enjoy the happy life he deserves. If you are interested in this dog, please contact sarah.winans@guilderlandschools.net
