Story
Meet Mellie — 1½ Years Old and Absolutely Adorable! With her beautiful fluffy tail, perky ears, and happy little smile, Mellie is as sweet as she is cute! This playful, affectionate girl is smart, loving, and always ready for some attention.Sadly, Mellie's previous owner could no longer care for her, and she arrived in rescue terribly underweight. Thankfully, she's now enjoying life in a loving foster home and looking forward to finding a family of her very own!Mellie loves everyone she meets, including seniors, and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. She enjoys playing with her furry friends and absolutely adores her toys, although stuffed toys may eventually lose their stuffing! She's a medium-energy girl who enjoys playtime just as much as being showered with love and affection.Even better, Mellie is housetrained, uses a doggy door, and has done well traveling. She isn't crated in her foster home and does great having free roam of the house with the other dogs.Mellie would be a wonderful addition to a home looking for a sweet, playful, affectionate companion. After such a difficult start, this precious girl deserves a lifetime of love, happiness, and a family who will treasure her forever.

 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:)     Sasha – 4-to-5-Month-Old Puerto Rican Sato Seeking Forever Family! Age: 4–5 months old Breed: Sato (Puerto Rican Street Dog Mix) Size: Puppy (Estimated Medium when fully grown) Good in a home with: Dogs, cats, and respectful children (with proper introductions) About Sasha:Meet Sasha, a brave little 4-to-5-month-old Puerto Rican Sato with a heart full of hope! Sasha started her life facing incredible hardships on the streets of Puerto Rico alongside her sweet brother, Sam. As part of a litter of nine vulnerable street pups born to a homeless mother, he had to be a true four-legged warrior from day one. She survived harsh weather, fleas, and the daily uncertainty of street life without a safe place to lay his head. Thankfully, rescue angels stepped in to change her fortune, flying her and Sam to safety where they received full bellies, endless love, and the medical care they needed to thrive. Now completely healthy, fully vetted, and parasite-free, this growing puppy has left his difficult past behind. He may have a small body, but at just a few months old, she has giant dreams of finding a perfect forever home. This resilient, intelligent, and deeply loving girl is ready to bring endless affection and puppy kisses to a family of his own. Could you be the ultimate happy ending Sasha deserves?         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.

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.
