Zippy - 4 months & 14lbs, Terrier Mix, Neutered Expected Full Grown Size Around 30lbs  This puppy 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:INTERMEDIATE – As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it’s also  tremendous work. Puppies’ personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they’re a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup’s evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult. Energy level:MEDIUM – Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day at a minimum. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Potty trained?Working on this skill. Puppies under 12 weeks old are often on track with their wee pad skills, but they’re too young to walk outside in public NYC areas yet because they haven’t finished their puppy vaccine series. Puppies older than 12 weeks are usually learning to do their business outside. Potty training takes a lot of patience, consistency, and clean up.  Social with dogs?Yes. Some puppies are shy, others are bold, but all have the potential to be taught healthy socializing skills. It’s a huge part of raising a puppy and must be done carefully. How they interact with other dogs depends largely on how their humans help them learn to.  Social with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Sort of – some puppies enjoy interacting with children, others get easily overwhelmed by their energy and attention. Regardless, most puppies are not a great match for a home with kids under age 8 because they go through intense mouthy play and rambunctious phases and often accidentally hurt young kids while playing. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.   Social with cats?Yes. Most puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners.  Mouthy play: High! All puppies go through phases where they chew your stuff and grab your hands, arms, feet… puppies naturally explore the world, play, and test boundaries with their mouths. (It also happens when they’re teething.) Their teeth are super sharp, so it can be a very painful phase for humans and other animals in the home. Proper training, outlets, and socialization are key. Separation anxiety:Most puppies have some level of separation anxiety as they learn to self soothe. Often they cry the first 10+ minutes at night or when they are left home alone or in a crate. Consistent training and alone time is crucial. Leash manners:None or learning, depending on the puppy’s age. Will need to work on this skill.   Crate trained?Probably not. None of our new puppies have been formally trained, but many of our foster parents/adopters choose to crate train so some of the puppies that have been with us for a little while are learning this skill. It can be a great way to keep puppies safe and teach them independence. Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines, spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake. (For dogs under 4 months old, adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age.) 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 ##2752153##

Meet Winifred  Winifred is a 5-year-old Boston Terrier with the sweetest soul and a gentle heart. She came to us as a breeder surrender and is learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and confident. At first she can be shy and cautious, but with patience and kindness she truly blossoms. Winnie enjoys calm environments, cozy naps, and taking things at her own pace. She’s been making beautiful progress every day, celebrating small victories like going up and down the stairs on her own or walking more confidently on the streets. She would thrive in a home that understands her past, respects her boundaries, and is excited to watch her continue to grow. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will bond deeply and reward you with constant affection, Winifred might be your perfect match. Winifred has a deeply affectionate personality and can form a strong bond with her person very quickly. Once she trusts you, she’ll happily follow you everywhere. As she leaves her fear behind, her true self is starting to shine: she’s becoming more curious, playful, and confident each day. Beneath her gentle nature is a growing energetic spirit, and she’s on her way to becoming a dog who will love plenty of exercise, long walks, and active adventures with her future family. Winifred is highly possessive of her person and cannot live with other pets. She was involved in a serious altercation with another dog in the home, and for everyone’s safety she must be placed as the only pet. Winifred will do best in a household where she is the sole focus and does not have to share people or space with other animals. She is a low-shedding dog and is very well-behaved indoors: she does not destroy furniture or belongings. She is not fully potty trained yet, as she is just beginning to go outside on walks, but she is making progress. With consistency, patience, and continued training, she is expected to quickly get the hang of it. Energy Level (1= calm, 10= high energy): 6Barker? Or Quiet Pup?: very quiet pupWalking Manners: she is just learning to trust the outside world, but so far her walks on the leash are great; she doesn't pull at all and loves to sniff everythingAppetite: enjoys all her meals and is always ready for treats!Favorite Things: tender love and care from her humansCommands/Tricks: none yet, but she's working on it ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract.
