Story

🦁 Meet Fizzgig: The 7ish-Year-Old Pomeranian Who Thinks He’s a King 🦁 Behold, mere mortals! I am Fizzgig, a 7ish-year-old fluff deity disguised as a Pomeranian. I do not walk—I prance. I do not exist—I grace the world with my presence. I am stunningly beautiful, and I know it. You should, too. ✨ I am excellent with all ages, but let’s get one thing straight: if there are children or cats in my kingdom, they are MINE. Other adults? Questionable. They must earn my trust. I will defend my tiny subjects with the ferocity of a lion and the fluff of a thousand clouds. I am a professional cuddle connoisseur. My ideal evening consists of being adored while watching TV with my person. Bonus points if you provide a royal brushing session, as I revel in being pampered. Are you worthy of my majestic presence? If you seek a pint-sized lion with a heart of gold and a touch of possessiveness, look no further. Adopt Fizzgig—because every kingdom needs a ruler. 🦁👑

Story

Hi, I’m Leo, an 8-year-old Kuwaiti Canaan Dog, and my journey hasn’t been easy, but I’m still here, full of life and love! ❤️ Let me tell you a little about my story—it's one of survival, strength, and second chances. I was just a 5-month-old puppy when I was hit by a car, beaten, and tossed in a dumpster in Kuwait. 😢 But after months of recovery, I was sent to New Jersey in the summer of 2019. At first, everything seemed great, but as the colder weather arrived, I started acting strange and showing aggression towards strangers. I was growling, and the shelter thought I was unadoptable. They were going to put me down, but the Kuwait rescue reached out to PUP, and they rushed to save me. Turns out, I was having trouble adjusting to the bone pain that comes with cold weather—I wasn’t used to seasons! But there was more to it. I had Ehrlichiosis, a tick-borne illness that was causing pain too. After some treatment and pain management, I was back to being my happy, energetic self, ready to play and cuddle! 🐾💕 I was adopted by a family, but unfortunately, they didn’t manage my illness, and I was returned to PUP in February 2024 in bad shape. I had a fever, but after some care and attention, my Ehrlichiosis cleared up, and my arthritis was managed. Now, I’m back to my playful, loving self. On rainy or cold days, I need a little extra care, but I’m still the life of the party! 🎉 I’m a happy-go-lucky guy who loves to play, run, and be the life of the party. I adore people (I really do!), I'm also convinced that I am a lap dog. I get along great with cats, dogs, and kids. BUT, when I’m not feeling well, I may growl at strangers—this is just me telling you I need a vet check. It’s not aggression, just a way for me to communicate that something’s wrong. Here’s the deal: I need a family who understands that I require routine medical management for my tick-borne illness and occasional arthritis. When I’m feeling great, I’m the best buddy—full of love, butt scratches, cuddles, and playtime. 🐾❤️ Adopt Leo, and you’ll have a loyal, playful companion who will bring joy and love to your life. 💖 Let’s make some new memories, together!

Story

Hi, I’m Baby Shark, a 6-year-old Maltese mix with a big attitude and even bigger personality! Despite my small size, I’m basically a cranky little old man trapped in a dog’s body, and I know exactly what I want and how to get it. 😎 I’m quirky, independent, and definitely particular about what I like—like, don’t even think about picking me up or brushing me. I’m Baby Shark for a reason, people. 🦈 Now, you may be wondering, “What does Baby Shark do for fun?” Well, I love to watch TV—especially Stepbrothers. 🛋️ I have an undeniable obsession with Will Ferrell (don’t ask me why, I just love him), and I’ll happily sit there and watch the movie on repeat if you’ll let me. Even though I can be a little grumpy at times (hey, I’m not that old, but I’m set in my ways), I’m also a huge cuddle bug. I may not want to be picked up, but I’ll happily curl up next to you on the couch for some quality cuddle time and pets. ❤️ I’m a total social butterfly and love hanging out with cats, kids, and other dogs. I’ve come a long way and have captured the hearts of everyone lucky enough to meet me. 🐾 Oh, and did I mention I LOVE chicken? 🍗 If you ever need a way to win me over, just offer me a little chicken, and you’ll be my best friend. If you're looking for a quirky, lovable little guy who’s full of surprises, then I’m your man. Adopt Baby Shark and let’s enjoy some laughs, cuddles, and, of course, some Will Ferrell movie nights together! 😄

Billy

Border Collie Dutch Shepherd

Male, 2 yrs 5 mos

East setauket, NY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

What’s up, future bestie? I’m Billy, a 20-month-old Dutch Shepherd/Border Collie mix (yes, I swear the Dutch Shepherd is in there somewhere). I’m here to tell you why adopting me will be the most chaotic—and BEST—decision of your life. First things first: I’ve got boundless energy. Like, forget the Energizer Bunny—I’m on a whole other level. Some might say I’m “on crack” (but legally, it’s just my personality). I’m basically a dog-shaped Velociraptor with an Olympic-level zoomie game. If you’ve got a dog who loves to play and can match my level of insanity, we’ll be BFFs in no time. 🦖🐾 Cats? Meh, not really my vibe—unless your cat is super dog-savvy and can handle my velociraptor energy. Small dogs? Nah, they’re not ready for this jelly. Big dogs who love chaos? YES, LET’S GO. Now, about strangers... they’re weird, and I’m not always sure how I feel about them at first. But once I figure out they’re cool, I’m all in. Just give me a little time to warm up, and I’ll be their favorite Velociraptor, too. What else? Oh, yeah—I LOVE to play. Fetch? Yes. Tug? Yes. Games that haven’t been invented yet? Also yes. I’m always ready to go-go-go, and I need a human who’s just as excited about adventure as I am. Hiking, running, or just wearing each other out in the backyard—sign me up. So, if you’ve got energy for days, a sense of humor, and no small creatures who’ll scream when I zoom, let’s do this. Adopt me, and I’ll make your life as exciting as a Jurassic Park sequel (without the dinos eating people, I promise). Adopt Billy—because life is better with a little chaos. 🐾🦴

Story

Hello, future best friend, I’m Hugo! I’m a 4-year-old AMbully with a heart of gold, but my brain sometimes overthinks. 🧠✨ I’m not your typical dog—I take a little time to warm up to new people, but once I trust you, you’ll be in for a wild ride of goofiness and fun. We like to call it the Hugo Show! 🎬 I’m all about silly antics that will keep you laughing for hours! I’m great with older kids and cats—so if you’ve got a family, I’ll fit right in and make us all smile. 😸👦 But here’s the deal: I’m a little wary of strangers at first. One day, a new person hurt me very badly, so I'm slow to trust because I worry it will happen again. The nice people here say it won't... so they help me make lots of new friends. I just need some time and patience to get to know you before I can give you my heart (which, by the way, is HUGE). ❤️ Once we’ve built that bond, you’ll see the real me: a playful, goofy guy who LOVES to have fun. I can be a little much for some dogs (I have a lot of energy), so if you have other dogs, they need to be able to handle my playful nature and keep up with the fun. 🐾 If you’re patient, kind, and ready to build a connection, I promise to your ride or die. Let’s start this journey together, and I promise you’ll love every moment of the Hugo Show! 💫
