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!)

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.
