Story
This beautiful pup is DOUGIE and he's such a good boy! He's a Basenji mix who is 1 year & half - 2years old & fully grown at 46 pounds! He has beautiful golden coloring and one brown eye and one blue eye which makes him even more special. He's a super sweet boy and was a Volunteer favorite at the Shelter we rescued him from. They took him on lots of field trips and he absolutely loved them! We've sprung Dougie from a Shelter and he's living with a great Foster family now who have other dogs so it's like doggie camp for him! He's a lover boy and wonderful with everyone he meets and other dogs too. He's also a smart cookie....we have lots of videos with him showing how he sits so politely waiting for his treats! He'll be a great family dog and a great companion to adopters who like to go hiking or bring their pup on errands with them. And, if there's a pup-cup included he's all in! We're looking for a wonderful family who have a fenced yard so he can play and take lots snoozes in the sun. He'd do great with doggie siblings but could easily be a solo pup because he loves to hang our with his peeps. He's healthy, up to date on all his vaccinations and so ready to be part of a family! Reach out to Long Road Home Rescue (lrhrescue@gmail.com) to get lots more info, pics and videos of this great guy!

Aubrey - 4 years, 26lbs, Basenji/Terrier Mix, Spayed  This dog is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Level of dog ownership experience required:BEGINNER – “Beginner” doesn’t necessarily mean easy as all dogs will require time, work, and patience, but we predict this dog will be low on the challenge scale because of their breed/age combo. Potentially a good fit for someone who has relevant dog care experience (fostering, dog sitting) and is looking to adopt their first pup.  Energy level:MEDIUM – Needs a daily 60-90 minute walk or window of quick paced exercise (minimum) in addition to potty break strolls (10-30 min each). Also needs significant socializing opportunities outside the home and mental stimulation at home like tricks training practice, chew items, and puzzle toys. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Okay in the city?We don’t know yet because this pup is brand new to us. Most adult dogs do well in the city after they’ve had time to adjust to a new environment, but some never adapt and need homes in the burbs.  Potty trained?Probably! Adults usually are, but all will have transitional accidents for the first week or so. A consistent walking route and schedule plus finding spots with grass or dirt can help. Social with other dogs?Yes, but we don’t know to what degree yet. Some like to wrestle with every passing pup, others can coexist well but prefer to keep to themselves. We’ll learn more soon. Social with cats?Not sure yet! Some breed mixes that are generally NOT great matches for homes with cats include large hounds, huskies, and shepherds.  Comfortable with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)We’re not sure yet, but we try to err on the side of caution. Respectful kids ages 8 and up are probably a safe bet. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age carefully.  Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines; heartworm tested if coming from Tennessee or Puerto Rico; spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake How did this dog end up with Social Tees?Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives.  PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses. This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes. LEARN MORE ABOUT US: socialteesnyc.org and Instagram @socialteesnyc ##2730670##

Story
These sweet boys have quite the story—but they’re ready to leave the past behind and start their next chapter. They were found wandering a neighborhood, hungry and just trying to survive. Now safe and cared for, they’re learning that meals will always be there—no more rushing or going without. Despite everything, their gentle, loving personalities shine through. They absolutely adore attention and will happily follow you around, soaking up every bit of affection they can get. Watching them discover toys for the first time is pure joy—especially when they pounce on a crinkly one like it’s the best thing ever! These boys are full of love, curiosity, and resilience. Now all they need is a forever family to show them just how good life can be. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Step aside, Simone Biles, there's a new athlete in town, and his name is Lingo! This curious and playful pup is always up for a good time and is sure to keep you on your toes. With his athletic build and playful spirit, he's a bundle of energy and joy. Lingo is an independent guy who loves exploring and discovering new things, but he's also a friendly and loyal companion. He's a bit of a free spirit and is happy to do his own thing, but he'll always come back to you for a good belly rub. Lingo is the life of the party and is sure to keep you entertained with his silly antics. He's a true original and is looking for a family with experience with his breed that will appreciate his unique personality and give him the love and attention he deserves. Could you be the one to unlock Lingo's heart and let the fun begin?

Story
Introducing SKY with the beautiful birthmark. He is in New York to meet and greet! SKY is a sweet, active and loving guy who is a little over 4 years old (as of April 2025). We think he’s a Basenji/Terrier mix. He’s got a cute curly tail and stocky fit body. He also has an adorable personality and enjoys being silly. SKY loves to be active and go on adventures! He would be great for someone who enjoys walking or hiking. SKY also good at keeping himself with his toys and ball! SKY is great with other dogs of his size or larger! We don’t recommend he be in an home with small dogs or cats because he enjoys chasing them (as well as any small animal). SKY is a cuddler and enjoys napping on the couch and in sunny spots around the house. SKY is ready to live a wonderful life with you. Are you ready to snuggle with him? He will make the best, loyal and entertaining best friend. If you feel that SKY is a good fit for you/ your family, please complete an application from our site, miraclesforsatosrescue.org FOR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION PLEASE COMPLETE AN APPLICATION! https://www.miraclesforsatosrescue.org/adopt Please then email the application back to us at miraclesforsatosrescue@gmail.com ------------------------------------- PLEASE READ: This dog is currently located in New York to meet and greet. Once an adopter is approved, we transport to New York/New Jersey! We strive for our dogs to be adopted into the right home. The best fit for the dog is our priority. Please make sure you are ready to properly exercise and give a dog all it need for fulfillment. In addition, we cannot guarantee breed of any dog or expected adult size of puppy. Please also note that any dog that is "house trained" will still need patience in a new home, new people and new schedule. Please be ready to house train ANY dog you adopt! Thank you for understanding.
