Story
Toffee is a sweet, healthy 2 year old male Staffordshire terrier. I've been fostering him since December 2024. He was surrendered to the Manhattan ACC by an owner who said they had no time for him. With a trainer's help, Toffee's come a long way in foster, learning better leash manners and basic commands, and working on his resource guarding issues. Toffee is seeking a forever home where he can be active, explore outdoors, and have snuggle time on the couch. He is house trained and crate trained. A home with a fenced yard where Toffee can play outside would be ideal, and/or an owner who enjoys taking him for walks, who will continue training w/support from the trainer. Toffee is neutered as of May 29, 2025. Toffee is a very friendly dog who loves meeting new dogs and people. He currently lives with 3 cats and they get along well. He is also a great TV watching buddy and enjoys stuffie toys, watching birds and squirrels, and being out in nature.

Story
Friends is back! Most of the cast anyway 😊 Chandler and Rachel are the last of the litter to be adopted! These babies are ready to love their way into your heart and home. Chandler is about 34 lbs and Rachel is about 27 lbs. We estimate they are about 10 months old; therefore, they are considered mostly full grown. We do not believe they will get any bigger. We do not know who their parents are but based on size they are some sort of terrier mix. They have very slick, short black hair that is BEAUTIFUL. These sweet babies were found on the street by a local animal control, dodging in and out of traffic and on the verge of getting run over. The shelter was full, so they contacted us to help. We knew we could not leave the babies out there, so we got them to safety in a foster home. 2 of the litter has been adopted, and 2 remain. They are some of the most gentle, friendly pups we’ve had. They are so excited when they’re around people. They just love everybody they meet, including children. They could run around the yard and play for as long as you’d let them, as long as they’re around their people. They love to be your shadow and get lots of pets. They’ll roll on their bellies in excitement, hoping you’ll rub their bellies. They are mostly house trained and are crate trained. They LOVE other dogs and have met inside and outside kitties and have no issues with them. They could live very happily with kids, cats and dogs or without any other animals. Rachel is the runt of the litter. She is a little bottle rocket, always on the go and so full of energy and zoomies. She is one of the most outgoing of the litter. She LOVES her treats and is very food motivated. She is not picky at all about what she gets, as long as it’s food and love. Once she’s done playing, she will be the first to cuddle up to you, very sweet. Rachel would LOVE to be adopted with children to play with or in a home that loves a shadow and loves their adventures/hikes/journeys. The foster jokes she’s part mountain goat because she can scale the highest of fences if left unattended, mainly because she just gets bored outside. She does not run off and is not destructive. Her biggest desire is to always be with you. Chandler is the 3rd smallest of the litter and the smallest male. He is the gentlest of the litter and isn’t in your face like Rachel can be. He is calmer and gentler than Ross and Rachel. He has the saddest eyes when he looks up at you, almost worried he’s done something wrong. Chandler likes to explore but he is more cautious about it and lets the other dogs try everything first. He plays everything safely. Another dog in the home would benefit Chandler as he can gain confidence from another doggy. A medium to low key home would be best for this sweet boy. They both love their toys. You can apply to adopt Chandler or Rachel at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org These babies are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, heart worm negative, current on prevention, dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Better hurry before one of these pups fly away! Available now for adoption, we have our litter of 8 Shepherd/Husky/Belgian mix puppies – our furpups that cover all areas of the weather. We have 3 males and 5 females – 3 Males – Stormy, Flash and Bolt 5 Females – Sky, Misty, Aurora, Winni and Dawn These puppies were born around the beginning of April 2025 and have been in a home since birth. The mom is a German Shepherd/husky mix that weighs about 50 pounds and dad is unknown, but we believe he could be a Belgian Shepherd mix. The puppies currently weigh as of 6/28/25 weigh about 11-13 lbs but we believe they will be about 60 pounds when full grown. These sweet pups have been handled and hugged on since they were born. The foster has done a wonderful job in ensuring they are friendly, gentle and outgoing. They are your typical puppies when it comes to playing – They love their toys and are just learning how to play with them. The puppies get along wonderfully with other dogs and the fosters are elderly, so they are very gentle puppies. They have not been exposed to cats or children but being puppies, we believe in the right household with patience they will get along great with them. They do not have a mean bone in their body – they aim to please their humans. Very big on people pleasing and wanting to be next to their human. They will be your shadow if you let them be. Our weathered pups are VERY smart. Having been raised by elderly people, they know not to trip them and not to jump. They learn quickly with minimal training. With one-on-one training we know they will thrive in their homes. They are learning to give kisses and are just so sweet. Despite being raised by elderly people, we do still recommend a more medium-to-active home given their breed. They love water and will be your perfect companions to rivers, lakes, oceans or just a nice cool pool in the backyard to play and lay in. If you’re interested in adopting one of these babies, please apply at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org They are current on vaccinations, dewormer, microchipped, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention and will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to adoption.
