Story

Blue is a big friendly guy who loves to cuddle. He was living outside with unhoused in the city. He was brought into my place of work and has been living with me for the past year. I am moving in with my partner in the fall and unfortunately he has a dog who does not get along with other dogs. Blue is great with other dogs! And all people! He is a big lover! He is going to need someone who is patient with him though as he does get nervous when left along in new places. He has settled into our apartment and routine but needs time in new environments. He does much better with a dog companion so would love a sibling if you had one. He is currently living with another dog and two cats.

Story

Princess is a great dog! She is a 45-pound, 9-year-old staffy who loves lounging around most of the day but also has tons of energy to play with toys and go for long walks or chase tennis balls at the dog park. She is very loving and loves to cuddle up at night under the covers. She loves her toys! She mostly ignores other dogs, but loves meeting new people at the dog park. She is in great health with no medical issues! The only issue I encounter is that I have a three-year-old daughter and Princess nips at her feet when she runs across the room. I am trying to find her a good home without small children or other pets.

Angelo the Angel

Australian Cattle Dog

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Angelo, a brave and beautiful soul who was rescued just in time. He was found abandoned on the side of a busy highway, looking lost, nervous, and exhausted — clearly dumped by the very people he trusted most. Cars sped by as he stood frozen, searching every face that passed, hoping his family would come back. Thankfully, one kind passerby saw him, stopped, and knew that if she didn’t act, he might not survive. When she opened her car door, Angelo didn’t resist — he quietly climbed in, as if he knew he was finally safe. Now thriving in foster care, Angelo has proven to be a vibrant, loving, and loyal companion. He’s full of energy and joy, always ready for a walk, a run, or an adventure. He’d be happiest with an adopter who enjoys staying active — someone who loves the outdoors and is ready for an affectionate bestie.

Poppy - Queen of the Puppy Dog Eyes's Story Meet Poppy, a 2-month-old, 6-lb little cuddle bug with the sweetest face and the cutest chunky puppy body. Poppy was found dumped on the side of the road in a box with her siblings, abandoned far too young and left completely defenseless. Thankfully, rescue stepped in just in time — and now this little girl is safe, loved, and thriving. Poppy is tubby, playful, house trained and incredibly affectionate. She loves being held, snuggling into your lap, and waddling around looking for attention. She has such a soft, loving personality and the kind of puppy sweetness that makes everyone instantly fall in love with her. Now Poppy is ready for a forever home where she’ll never be abandoned again — just spoiled with cozy beds, belly rubs, and all the love she deserves. *Poppy is in Puerto Rico and will be send up to the states for her forever home or when a foster opens up.

Story

Maybel — short for Maybelline — is a stunning 10-month-old girl with the most striking blue eyes that look like she’s wearing perfect eyeliner all the time. At around 50 pounds, she’s the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and sweet, affectionate companionship. She’s incredibly smart, eager to learn, and already doing wonderfully with potty training and leash training. Maybel is great with other dogs and has such a loving, gentle personality once she feels safe and comfortable. Like many rescue dogs, she can be a little hesitant around men at first, but with patience and kindness she quickly begins to open up and show her sweet, goofy side. Maybel is looking for a family that will continue helping her build confidence and show her that the world can be a safe, loving place. In return, she’ll give endless loyalty, cuddles, and those unforgettable blue-eyed stares.

Story

APPLY FOR LUNA HERE THROUGH OUR RESCUE PARTNER FLY DOGZ ADOPT: https://tinyurl.com/mrxduj6n Meet Luna, a 3.5-month-old, 14.5-lb sweetheart whose life could have ended before it ever truly began. Fly Dogz Adopt (one of our amazing partners) was asked to help this special little girl find the future she deserves. When Luna was found abandoned on a beach in Puerto Rico, she was just a baby with a broken leg and no one looking out for her. While other puppies were playing and exploring the world, Luna was trying to survive. Thankfully, compassionate rescuers stepped in. Her leg was treated, she received the care she desperately needed, and today she is fully healed. Watching her run, play, and snuggle now, you would never know what she endured. What makes Luna truly special isn't her resilience, it's her heart. Despite being abandoned and injured, Luna loves with her whole being. She is one of the sweetest puppies you'll ever meet, happiest when curled up next to her people. If she had her way, she'd spend every day cuddled in your lap, soaking up affection and reminding you how grateful she is to be safe. Luna is currently being fostered in New York and can be transported anywhere throughout the Northeast to the perfect home. This little girl has already overcome more hardship in a few months than most dogs face in a lifetime. Now she deserves the easy part: a family who will love her forever, a soft place to sleep, and the chance to grow up knowing she will never be abandoned again. If you're looking for a puppy whose heart is as beautiful as her story, Luna is waiting for you.
