Story
This is Trouble, he has been under my care for around 2 months now. He was my mothers dog by due to my schedule and my other dog, I cannot give him the life that I want him to have. He is around 12 years old but he’s just a baby! He’s so sweet and just wants to be a lap dog all day. He limits himself to 15-20 minute walks max. After that he is a bit tired. One thing he does not like is to share his toys with other dogs, he doesn’t mind his human but a dog, no way. I just want someone to love him the rest of his days.

Story
Rylee is a sweet girl who has been with us for about a month as a foster situation. Unfortunately, with 3 dogs of our own, we aren’t able to keep her ourselves. She is young, around or just shy of a year old. She is very playful and loves to cuddle. She gets along very well with other dogs, children and cats (she is interested in them, but does not chase or go after them). We have been working on training with her and she is making great progress! Please help Rylee find her forever home!

Levi

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Male, Adult
Cohoes, NY
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Levi is approximately 6 years and was brought home from a shelter. I was told he had a history of abuse from the previous owner which led to a bit of anxiety. Over the past few years, I've attempted to train him and while he is generally good on a leash, Levi is highly resistant to crate training. That aligns with his experience at the shelter as they didn't crate him and kept him in an office on medication. Levi also has severe separation anxiety and barks quite a bit, even when leaving for short periods. He can be friendly and aggressive with other dogs. Levi barks a lot at people but is usually friendly. He has bitten at people when provoked or in environments with too much stimuli, but in quiet settings is quite friendly, especially with children. Levi needs a home with someone who has the time to truly give him the attention he needs and deserves because he is a sweet dog and companion.

Story
I had my boy Zoro sense he was literally a new born hell be 2!! he was born on December 18th of year 2023. I have 3 children and he has been around all 3 of my children for his whole life and he is always been gentle and loving towards them. He has had play dates with other dogs bigger and smaller than him and has never been attacked by or has never attacked another dog ever. always played so great with other animals. He is nosey and will stare but does not bark at all to other ppl or animals. He is house trained. I noticed he might not be able to eat specific foods or else he will have diarrhea, I feel like he has a sensitive belly I been feeding him Pure Balance GRAIN FREE and he does great with that. I would keep him if I had a stable and good home for him to be able to take care of him and give him my attention but I cant it is very hard but I just hope and pray someone with a great heart and home can take in my good boy!

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.
