You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Pete (AL), possibly a Jack Russell Terrier mix, is just two months old, but he’s already lived through more than any puppy ever should. Found limping alone on the side of the road — scared, hurting, and trying his best to keep going — this tiny boy still greeted rescuers with the kind of soft, hopeful sweetness that stops you in your tracks. His funky little speckled nose twitches when he’s curious, and his whole face lights up when someone shows him kindness. He’s now getting every bit of medical care he needs, and even with all he’s been through, Pete’s spirit is unshaken. He’s spunky, handsome, gentle with people, and wonderfully friendly with other dogs. There’s something about him — a quiet bravery, a tender resilience — that makes you want to scoop him up, hold him close, and promise him that the hard part is over. Pete is ready for a family who will cherish him, protect him, and give him the safe, joyful life he’s been waiting for. If you’ve ever wished you could change the whole world for one small soul, this is your moment. Apply online to adopt Pete (AL) at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org.

He’s a sweet dog, very adventurous, very happy, eats healthy, loves sweet potato and any vegetables. He loves soups unsalted. He loves having an array of toys and loves a good tough bed. He loves to hunt and loves the wilderness. He is extremely gentle with children. He is also very sociable. He comes from a family of Mennonites and his parents were cow herders. He is great at letting you know that someone is approaching the door.Letting him go will hurt us deeply, but he needs a good home and someone to give him time.

Meet Aru | Apply Here Aru is a 2 year old, 15lb terrier mix that was pulled from the Incheon shelter in South Korea. She’s got scruff for days and is just the most gentle little lady. Though she’s only just arrived in the big city, Aru is making leaps and bounds of progress. She’s settling in nicely and has begun asking for love by nudging or licking available hands. At home she’s very calm and chill, but with growing interest in toys and people who knows what the future holds for her. Aru is doing wonderfully with crate training and walks outside like a pro. She is occasionally startled by loud noises and moving things, but honestly who isn’t? More than anything in the world (for now) this girl loves a good belly rub or ear massage.    You don’t have to wait for an adoption event.

John - 12 weeks & 10lbs (as of 7/22), Collie/Terrier, Neutered Estimated to be about 35lbs full grown  If you would like to see a video of this dog please click HERE!  This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Level of dog ownership experience required:INTERMEDIATE – As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it’s also  tremendous work. Puppies’ personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they’re a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup’s evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult. Energy level:MEDIUM – Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day at a minimum. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Potty trained?Working on this skill. Puppies under 12 weeks old are often on track with their wee pad skills, but they’re too young to walk outside in public NYC areas yet because they haven’t finished their puppy vaccine series. Puppies older than 12 weeks are usually learning to do their business outside. Potty training takes a lot of patience, consistency, and clean up.  Social with dogs?Yes. Some puppies are shy, others are bold, but all have the potential to be taught healthy socializing skills. It’s a huge part of raising a puppy and must be done carefully. How they interact with other dogs depends largely on how their humans help them learn to.  Social with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Sort of – some puppies enjoy interacting with children, others get easily overwhelmed by their energy and attention. Regardless, most puppies are not a great match for a home with kids under age 8 because they go through intense mouthy play and rambunctious phases and often accidentally hurt young kids while playing. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.   Social with cats?Yes. Most puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners.  Mouthy play: High! All puppies go through phases where they chew your stuff and grab your hands, arms, feet… puppies naturally explore the world, play, and test boundaries with their mouths. (It also happens when they’re teething.) Their teeth are super sharp, so it can be a very painful phase for humans and other animals in the home. Proper training, outlets, and socialization are key. Separation anxiety:Most puppies have some level of separation anxiety as they learn to self soothe. Often they cry the first 10+ minutes at night or when they are left home alone or in a crate. Consistent training and alone time is crucial. Leash manners:None or learning, depending on the puppy’s age. Will need to work on this skill.   Crate trained?Probably not. None of our new puppies have been formally trained, but many of our foster parents/adopters choose to crate train so some of the puppies that have been with us for a little while are learning this skill. It can be a great way to keep puppies safe and teach them independence. Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines, spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake. (For dogs under 4 months old, adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age.)How did this dog end up with Social Tees?Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives.  PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses.  This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes. LEARN MORE ABOUT US: socialteesnyc.org and Instagram @socialteesnyc ##2799389##

Snug - 10 months (as of 8/31) and 15lbs, Beagle Mix, Spayed Mostly full grown - might gain a tiny bit more weight - 1lb to 2lbs  Want to see a video of this Snug please click here! This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Our Team Says: "Snug takes a little bit of time to warm up to new people. But she's a sweet girl and so fun. She prefers a home in a calmer area. She's just a more sensitve girl. But once she's had time to settle in - there's NO stopping her - she's cuddly and the most fun."  Thier Foster Parent Says: "At 10 months, a whopping 15 pounds, and the longest limbs and tiniest head, Snug is the silliest proportioned puppy I've ever had the honor of meeting. Her personality aligns with that silliness too. From collecting (but not chewing!) my shoes to build a fort to using her paws like a human to smack me for attention, Snug is one odd ball. She's super easily entertained by cardboard and plays well alone if given a bouncy ball or just a great view out the window. That girl could people watch for days. But that's not to say she doesn't absolutely love her daily playdates with her doggy friends in the building. Snug can be a little overwhelming for smaller more timid dogs because of her lanky arms that are always flailing around, but she never becomes aggressive. She also loves her human (and humans in general). Sometimes she can be a little hesitant to meet men for the first time, but that goes away as soon as you have a treat in hand. She is a snuggle bug to any and all people who walk through my door. She loves to get really comfortable on you, laying her head right below yours and it's just the sweetest thing. Snug listens well and learns quickly, knowing to sit to wait for her food and rarely missing the peed pad these days. Regarding city life, she's not quite there yet. She's getting used to outside walks, but would prefer a quieter neighborhood without bikers riding around playing pink pony club and heavy foot traffic. She really needs a home that loves to play, cuddle, and bonus! has a yard for her to dig in (right now she digs my pillow and couch, but that just doesn't hit the same you know?)"

Social with dogs?Yes. Some puppies are shy, others are bold, but all have the potential to be taught healthy socializing skills. It’s a huge part of raising a puppy and must be done carefully.

Doesn’t try to chew on hands, feet, etc. during playtime SEPARATION ANXIETY (Please leave your foster dog home alone every day for at least 20 minutes.)Adjusting – Might cry for a few minutes when you first leave the house but settles pretty quickly and has no problem being left alone otherwise. LEASH MANNERSGetting the hang of it – Probably hasn’t been on a leash much in their life but figuring it out. Might be a mild puller but responds to correction CUDDLE BUG LEVELMedium – Likes to snuggle when she's in the mood but often stays in her own bed JUMPING ON PEOPLE TO SAY HELLOCalm Greetings – Doesn’t jump up on people or dogs. Always all four on th CRATE TRAININGyep/mostly – Seems comfortable in the crate, may whine a little at first but settles pretty quickly. We use the crate when we leave the pup alone and/or at night. Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines, spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake.

Cody -  3 years & 16lbs, Chiweenie, Neutered This dog is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Our Team Says: "This pup was rescued from a hoarding situation in PR - involving about 40 dogs. Due to this these pups are on the shyer side and need patient people who will give them time to get used to normal life. They are very sweet dogs: just need more time and patience. Cody was treated for HW and is doing great and finally got to come NYC to find his forever family. Cody would do best in a home with another dog, he needs it for his confidence, has never not lived with another pup" Thier Foster Family Says: "Cody is a sweet angel boy and anyone would be lucky to have him in their lives. He is potty trained and will hold it until he’s outside - he has never had an accident! We have yet to hear him bark once; he’s truly quiet as a mouse. At just 16.8 lbs, he’s the best kind of Chihuahua/Chiweenie low rider. Despite his incredibly heartbreaking start to life, he’s not letting it define what’s next for him. He walks like a dream by your side despite his fearful tendencies and is happiest relaxing during the day (very Chihuahua of him!) as long as he gets his three walks and an additional potty break before bed. We’ve found that one or two longer walks a day really help him work through some of his anxiety and fear, and he seems to genuinely enjoy exploring the world from the safety of your side. He’s gotten along well with our other pup but definitely has a calm, chill personality. He mostly ignores other dogs and their bad behavior and is a pretty great influence! Coming from a hoarding situation, we think he’s still quite desensitized to both people and dogs and tends to use avoidance as a way to cope when he’s unsure. He could do really well with another calm, confident pup who is happy to snooze alongside him and give him his space. He’s smart, curious, gentle, and we have a feeling there’s so much more personality waiting to come out as he begins to understand that he’s safe. He needs someone patient who isn’t looking for immediate affection or a dog who will be in their lap on day one. What he needs is someone willing to let him move at his own pace and celebrate the little victories along the way. We think, with time, he’s going to become an incredibly loyal little companion - and watching him slowly get braver is pretty special." Level of dog ownership experience required:BEGINNER – “Beginner” doesn’t necessarily mean easy as all dogs will require time, work, and patience, but we predict this dog will be low on the challenge scale because of their breed/age combo. Potentially a good fit for someone who has relevant dog care experience (fostering, dog sitting) and is looking to adopt their first pup.  Energy level:MEDIUM – Needs a daily 60 minute walk or window of quick paced exercise (minimum) in addition to potty break strolls (10-30 min each). Also needs significant socializing opportunities outside the home and mental stimulation at home like tricks training practice, chew items, and puzzle toys. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Okay in the city?We don’t know yet because this pup is brand new to us. Most adult dogs do well in the city after they’ve had time to adjust to a new environment, but some never adapt and need homes in the burbs.  Potty trained?Probably! Adults usually are, but all will have transitional accidents for the first week or so. A consistent walking route and schedule plus finding spots with grass or dirt can help. Social with other dogs?Yes, but we don’t know to what degree yet. Some like to wrestle with every passing pup, others can coexist well but prefer to keep to themselves. We’ll learn more soon. Social with cats?Not sure yet! Some breed mixes that are generally NOT great matches for homes with cats include large hounds, huskies, and shepherds.  Comfortable with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)We’re not sure yet, but we try to err on the side of caution. Respectful kids ages 8 and up are probably a safe bet. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age carefully.  Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines; heartworm tested if coming from Tennessee or Puerto Rico; spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake How did this dog end up with Social Tees?Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico.
