Story
Sammy is an amazing lab mix who would make a great dog for an individual or a family with older kids. His favorite things are playing fetch and chewing a bone on the couch. He is five years old, up-to-date on shots, and very healthy. Sammy is crate trained, house trained, and loves learning new tricks. However he struggles with some leash reactivity around other dogs. He can be a bit exuberant when meeting new people but quickly settles when played with. Sammy is a very loyal dog and is being rehomed through no fault of his own. It breaks my heart to do but he is too much around our infant son and so not getting the attention or exercise he deserves. He would do great in a family with older kids or someone with no kids, We really want him to go to the right home so the fee could be waived if we felt it was the right person. Sammy comes with his crate, toys, leash, bowls, and food.

Story
This sweet girl is Cookie, the 6 month old Doxie mix. She's very adorable, and has a wonderful personality to match. Staff at the shelter said she was an absolute doll, and they just fell in love with her! Such a young puppy shouldn't be living out her life in a shelter. Thankfully we've recently pulled her, and her sister Ladybug, and are bringing them up to NYC on 2/7! If interested, please fill out an application today! All IOHR animals have had age-appropriate medical care. Please visit www.inourhandsrescue.org for more information, and fill out the adoption application if you are interested in meeting a certain animal! Can't adopt Cookie but want to help?
