Story
Jericho was my first of the four dogs I have now. For the first year he was so attached to me, he was relaxed, he was playful, we played tons of different games , he was smart, happy . I thought he needed a friend. He was a bit nervous at the dog park. He liked playing with this one puppy his age. When he went through puberty he became more confident. I got him a friend, he was excited but she was possessive over his toys and stuff. He liked her, they became best friends. Then i got him neutered She hates him after that. She won't play with him. She likes the two others I have 4 .He gets left out.She dominates him. Won't let him haves things, is aggresive. He wont even take toys anymore when they all get one. He's great on his own, he loves men, he wants to be around his owner, he just want love and attention and someone to play games with him, and encourage and build his confidence. Hikes off leash, listens well, very eager to please, waits nice for you does not use crate. Only dog

Story
I have 4.5 year old male chocolate lab named max who I need to rehome. Max is my daughter’s dog and she has relocated. I recently had to move to a smaller apartment that doesn’t work for a 95 lb chocolate lab. Max is a wonderful loving dog who is good with kids and fully house trained. He was originally purchased to be a service dog. I wanted to see if you can help me find him a new family

Story
Toffee/Bam Bam was an owner surrender in Nov, 2024 due to the owner not having time for him. So he dropped him off at the New York Animal Care Centers - the NYC municipal shelter. He was stressed and scared. He was marked as "RESCUE. ONLY". He was then scheduled for euthanasia but a wonderful woman stepped up to save his life. She rehabbed him and worked with him and now he's ready for his forever home. TOFFEE/BAM BAM STATS: Age: 2 years • Weight: 48 pounds • Vaccinations: Up to date • Spayed/Neutered: No. We will neuter him at the adopters location. • Activity Level: High energy; thrives with daily exercise and play • Other dogs: Yes with proper introductions • Kids: We would say older kids just due to his size. • Cats: Yes • Housebroken: Yes • Crate Trained: Yes Meet Toffee/Bam Bam: Your New Best Friend Toffee/Bam Bam would thrive in a home with a fenced yard for running around would be ideal. A loving home where Toffee can have plenty of active outdoor time but also hang out on the comfy couch while his people watch tv. Toffee loves to look out the window to see what's going on. He is fascinated by squirrels and birds. Toffee gets very excited meeting new people. He knows basic commands like "sit" and takes treats gently when reminded to be "easy" Toffee has come a long way in foster and would do best with an experienced and patient owner. He still needs a bit of leash training but has learned to "heel" while using the prong collar. He still has some resource guarding issues around food, toys, and certain spaces, but is easily shifted/distracted from these behaviors with gentle commands. He enjoys counter surfing but responds to "leave it" and "come" to get a small treat. Toffee has some separation anxiety and is known to tear things in his crate when his person leaves him alone. Giving him a chewy treat or toy helps curb this behavior somewhat. He gets excited meeting people and tends to try and jump gently on them for pets. Toffee is a handsome brindle boy with a very sweet disposition. He loves meeting new people and making new friends. Toffee is active and enjoys going for walks and exploring. He loves nothing more than snuggling on the couch on a warm blankie next to me while I'm reading or watching a movie. This is a very loving and lovable dog.

Story
ELEPHANT: Shih Tzu mix, neutered male, approx. 8 years old. notes: If you love Shih Tzus you will want to meet our little Eli. Despite having been neglected by his previous human caretakers, he is now ready for a loving home with responsible caretakers who will take care of him . Eli has dry eyes and will need over the counter drops in his eyes daily. He can get grumpy when people are poking and prodding him, so we recommend an experienced dog owner who would not be deterred if he displays negative behavior. He has so much to offer and just needs the right adopter to give him the opportunity to have a good home.
