Story
Eddie was being neglected by his owner and was surrendered to me. I am unable to keep him long term. Rabies vaccine: 5/26/26 Neuter/microchip appt: 6/15/26 He spent most of his very young life confined to a crate, no outside time with inconsistent water and food. He has such a great temperment! So sweet, curious, playful, smart and full of life but not hyper. He loves to run around a bit and then curl up beside you and be the cuddlebug he truly is. He follows his humans around closely because right now he is still learning safety, reassurance and trust. He has learned to sit, take his treats like a true gentleman and boy oh boy he loves his car rides! He knows to go outside to potty and does well with harness, collar and leash. He would do best with children 8 and up. Once he is neutered we are going to introduce him to other dogs which I don't forsee being a challenge. He has shown zero aggression overall.

Story
Jackie is a 4-year-old Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He is full of energy and loves to play. Jackie doesn’t always realize just how big he is, and he often thinks he’s a lap dog despite his size. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves to be close to his people, Jackie is your guy. Jackie is a huge lover and thrives on affection, attention, and being part of the family. He has no history of aggression and has never bitten anyone. Like many dogs, Jackie does experience some anxiety, particularly when taken out of a house setting. He does best in a home where he can spend plenty of time with his family and be included in daily activities. When he’s with his people, he is happiest, most relaxed, and truly shines. Jackie would do best in a home with a yard or space where he can run, play, and burn off energy.

Story
4 year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix, Jackie. This is not an easy decision, but with our current schedule, we know he deserves more time, space, and attention.Jackie is a healthy 110-pound boy with a huge heart. He’s house trained, very affectionate, loyal, and loves sleeping with his people—he truly thinks he’s a lap dog.He would do best in a home with a large fenced yard or property where he can run and play. He loves being outside.A few things to know: no bite history, good with kids but unaware of his size, okay with other pets but may do best as the only one, protective and barks, gets very excited around people, and needs an experienced handler as he is strong and not great on walks.We’re looking for an experienced home that can give him structure and love. Serious inquiries only.

Story
Ruff, my name is Finnegan and I am a sweet, cuddly gentleman who loves to snuggle. My favorite activities are napping and running outside in the yard. I enjoy taking walks on a hiking trail and in a park. I love to play outside and in the lake. I’m great on a leash-I don’t pull or drag. Mom tells me I tend to get anxious when I feel threatened, but overall I’m pretty chill dude. My mom thinks I would thrive in a home without small children and without other dogs.

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.
