Collie puppies and dogs in Babylon, New York

Max loves to play and run and, despite his age (9 years old) still has the stamina of a pup. He loves to swim and fetch in the ocean or lakes. He also loves to find a secluded spot in the house and sleep for hours. He is a watch dog, so he likes to bark. Loud noises and new places make him anxious (so he needs lots of extra TLC on the 4th of July). He gets along well with cats and very small dogs--he does not get along well with bigger dogs though. He is not a great walker since he pulls so a large backyard is ideal for him to run in. He is house trained and is VERY smart--you can still teach this old dog some new tricks. I've had him since he was a puppy and want to find a good home for him with someone who will show him all the love and attention he deserves. He has been a loyal companion but it's time for him to have a new family.

Riley, born in January or February of 2015 is a tricolor, smooth coat, collie/border collie mix with some brindle markings on his legs. He has experienced 2 failed adoptions. He was adopted from us when he was about 6 months old and was returned to us 3 years later when the male member of the adoptive family, who had Alzheimer’s, became abusive toward him. In time he began developing his self-confidence again and began to lose his fear of men. Even though he was still somewhat leery of men he didn’t know, he would actually seek attention from men with whom he was familiar. He got along well with the dogs in his foster home but he behaved aggressively toward any new foster dog that periodically come in. He is not good with cats as he showed aggression toward the clinic cat at our vet’s office. Riley was adopted a second time, but after a year of trying different techniques to manage Riley’s difficult behaviors his second adopter felt that she could no longer handle him and once again Riley was returned to us. He left us weighing 55 pounds and returned, markedly overweight, at 78 pounds. He is now back to a healthy weight. Riley has had extensive training. He is quite smart and learns quickly. He rides well in a car and walks well on a leash unless he meets a dog while out on the walk, in which case he will pull and act aggressively. Riley is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is being kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. Riley is located in Arkansas. His adoption donation is $415 which includes the $165 transport fee. If you would like to adopt Riley, the first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in

Meet Tego, the dog who never stopped believing in people

Tego is a sweet, resilient 4,5- year-old, 42-lb boy with a calm spirit and a kind heart. Gentle, thoughtful, and quietly curious, he approaches the world with confidence and gratitude.
 Tego loves people and wants nothing more than to be by your side. Whether he’s out enjoying a walk, exploring new places, or curling up for cuddles afterward, he’s happiest when he’s with his humans. Tego is currently being fostered with a busy family in New York and has adapted beautifully to their active household. He is comfortable with a steady stream of visitors and is equally friendly and affectionate with both men and women. Tego’s story is one of resilience. As a young dog, he was found abandoned on the streets by a kind-hearted local man who already cared for eight dogs. Wanting to give Tego a better chance, he brought him to our partner rescue, SOS el Arca Animal Rescue, where Tego spent nearly three years waiting for a family of his own. During those years, Tego watched other dogs leave the shelter while he stayed behind. Day after day, month after month, he waited patiently for someone to notice him. Puppies are often adopted quickly, while wonderful adult dogs like Tego are too often overlooked. Thankfully, Tego was welcomed into an incredible foster home that prefers to foster adult dogs, giving them the chance they so often miss. For the first time in years, he has experienced the love, attention, daily walks, and family life every dog deserves. His foster family adores him and says he is more than ready to find a forever home of his own. Once Tego is adopted, they will be able to open their home to another deserving adult dog, giving another overlooked pup the same life-changing opportunity. Tego is grounded, gentle, and deeply affectionate. He forms strong bonds with the people who care for him and absolutely adores his foster family. There is something incredibly calming about him—his beautiful eyes are full of kindness, trust, and quiet wisdom. Despite everything he has been through, he greets every new person with a wagging tail, a hopeful smile, and an open heart. He would make an exceptional companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend. Tego thrives on human companionship and lights up whenever he receives affection. Because he is confident, adaptable, and easygoing, he could thrive in a city apartment or a quieter suburban home. He gets along well with other dogs and is respectful of cats, making him a wonderful addition to many different types of families. He would be happy living with another friendly dog or as the only dog, soaking up all the love and attention. Anyone who gives Tego a chance will be rewarded with a deeply devoted companion. He is the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog who never forgets kindness and will spend every day showing his gratitude through unwavering love and loyalty. 
Tego is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, 4DX- tested, dewormed, on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention, and crate trained.

If youre looking for a gentle soul who will truly appreciate the home you give him, Tego may be the perfect match.

Please fill out our adoption application at sosanimalwelfare.org and email it to sosanimalwelfare@gmail.com with any questions.

Tego is ready for his fresh start and for a family who will never let him feel abandoned again.

Shyla - 6 months (as of 7/1), Collie/Beagle Mix, SpayedExpected Full Grown Size Around 30lbs 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 Their Foster Parent Says: "Shyla is the total package: sweet, playful, smart, and always ready for an adventure. She is currently going on daily outings and exhibits good recall, positive socialization, and leans in for cuddles at the end of the day. She is a charming, happy dog with classic shepherd looks and puppy energy.As a fearless and intelligent dog, she needs an experienced leader who enjoys training and games. Shyla is equal parts adventurer and companion, making her an amazing best friend for an active lifestyle. Level of dog ownership experience required:INTERMEDIATE – 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.) Energy level:High – Needs a daily 2-hour (or longer) window of quick paced exercise each morning in addition to potty break strolls (10-30 min each). May also need another 40+ minute walk in the afternoon as well as significant opportunities to socialize outside the home and engage in mental stimulation activities 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.)  TOLERANCE TO CITYADVENTURE pup – Unfazed by the sights and sounds of the city. Loves the beach and the trail. POTTY TRAINING Work In Progress -- On the way and learning! Has to be monitored as Shyla is learning to express the need to go outside.really well so far :)  Comfort Level with StrangersSocial butterfly – Wants to be friends with everyone who walks by, loves anyone who will stop to say hello.  Social with dogs?Yes – Good with most other dogs (sizes, breeds, etc.). Needs to learn boundaries, as her high energy can be a lot for other dogs. Overall enjoys socializing with other canines 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?Not sure – Wants to chase squirrels and birds so may not be a good match for a home with cats, rabbits, etc. Mouthy BehaviorNeeds training and working on it! – Is either still in the puppy stage or was never trained. Tries to put their mouth on your hands when playing or needs attention, grabs the leash, chews on your personal belongings. Seperation Anxiety (Please leave your foster dog home alone every day for at least 20 minutes.)Adjusting – Might cry for a few minutes when you first leave the house but settles pretty quickly and has no problem being left alone otherwise. Leash MannersGetting the hang of it – Probably hasn’t been on a leash much in their life but figuring it out. Might be a mild puller but responds to correction. Cuddle Bug LevelMedium – Likes to snuggle! Because of teething, she is often looking to chew on something. When her adult teeth come in, I would imagine that she would be a cuddle bug at a high level. Behavior with childrenMaybe for age 12 and up – Is either big and energetic (okay with kids big enough not to get knocked down) or too rambunctious (could be comfortable with older children that can be extra gentle) JUMPING ON PEOPLE TO SAY HELLOWork in Progress! Needs training – Very excited to greet everyone and has no idea how to do so politely. Jumps up on most strangers or other dogs that go by. In puppy phase or wasn’t trained as a young adult. We are currently sitting before anyone. She is very intelligent and listens to the correction. CRATE TRAININGYep/mostly – Seems comfortable in the crate, may whine a little at first but settles pretty quickly. We use the crate when we leave the pup alone and/or at night. 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 ##2709549##

Age: 11 months as of July 6, 2026 Weight: 24 pounds Special skill: Selective hearing. Except it's not selective- I'm actually deaf! Hi! I'm Leo, and while i can't hear you say, "Who's a good boy?" I'm pretty sure you're talking about me anyway. I communicate with hand signals, belly rubs, treats, and your happy face. (Especially the treats.) I'm 24 pounds of zoomies, silliness, and pure joy. I love to play make new friends and keep everyone laughing with my goofy personality. Being deaf doesn't slow me down one bit-it just means i don't have to listen when the neighbor's dog is gossiping. I'm looking for a family who will love me for exactly who i am and help me continue learning. I promise to fill your home with laughter, love, and plenty of puppy shenanigans. So... what do you say? I can't hear your answer, but i can definitely see you filling out that adoption application! He is at the perfect age to learn, bond, and become a loyal companion for years to come. Whether its playtime, cuddle time, or learning new tricks, he is eager to be part of a family who will guide him as he grows. If you're looking to add a happy, loving pup to your life, he could be the perfect match. If you ever wanted a roommate who has no concept of personal space and thinks everything is a game, he is your boy. Adopt him before he learns how powerful he really is! If you're interested in making him part of your family, please fill out an application on our website or send us an email with any questions. We can't wait to hear from you!
