Story
This adorable fella is Sampson. He is a 5-year-old lab mix and weighs 53 lb. Sampson must have had a family who loved him. He is a confident, outgoing boy. At 5-years-old, Sampson still has plenty of hutzpah but also knows how to settle down and relax. He will happily chase a ball in the yard and then lie down and rest by your side. Sampson has a cheerful disposition and likes to train for treats. He loves to eat and roll over for belly rubs. Sampson walks well with a harness. He generally ignores dogs in the adjacent yard. Sampson should be fine in a home with kids and other dogs. We don't know what Sampson thinks of cats but can cat-test him if needed. Sampson is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and healthy. His adoption fee is $400. If you would like to meet/adopt Sampson, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms or stop by our shelter Wednesday-Sunday between 12 and 6 PM. The DAWS shelter address is 147 Grassy Plain St. Bethel. Email daws@daws.org if you need assistance or have any questions. Sampson can't wait to meet you!

Story
To adopt please fill out an adoption application. Poppy is a 1 yo female lab mix who was rescued as a stray in Memphis. Poppy is initially shy with new people and situations but gradually warms up as she becomes comfortable.  She dislikes too many dogs or people trying to touch her too much initially.  Poppy was a little wary of foster mom’s dog at first, sometimes nipping and correcting aggressively if approached too quickly but now they’re fine together as Poppy has learned to trust the other dog. No food aggression. Not recommended for cats because she likes to chase them. History with kids is unknown. High activity outside, loves to run and jump in the backyard, settles down quickly in the house. Good house manners. Housebroken but not crated because she doesn’t need to be. Estimated DOB is 6-1-24. Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, spayed, weighs about 45 pounds.  We believe that Poppy was abused previously, causing her to be nervous and fearful with new people and situations. She is very fearful at the vet clinic and very fearful when approached quickly by other dogs. Poppy’s ideal adopter is an active, patient, loving person who can accept her and work with her to continue her socialization and help her reach her full potential. To adopt please fill out an adoption application.Contact us at reply@gooddogrescue.com  visit us at Good Dog RescueJune 19, 2025, 8:19 am

Story
 ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home.  In some cases, we can help transport.  Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions  follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:)     We are delighted to announce the arrival of Stevie and Susie, our newest pups from Kosovo, who are 9 months old and weigh 30 pounds. They will arrive on June 11th. Susie and Stevie, two sisters, were found abandoned on the street, seeking shelter on a discarded sofa. They were filthy and were taken to a safe haven where they received proper care. Both girls cohabitate with other dogs and have developed friendships with all of them. They appreciate visits from people and are fully vaccinated, spayed, and regularly dewormed All dogs are located in NY/NJ area All our puppies need puppy play dates/doggy facetime so we recommend homes with other pups or daily interactions to keep them tired out, happy and social.     Facebook: Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff  Instagram: zanisfurryfriends   Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped (not Lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it!)  All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport.  Please go to our site  https://zanisfurryfriends.org  fill out an application  Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent--please ask by writing us at dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB. If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too.   Please consider providing a home for more than one dog, especially if you are considering adopting a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and very much enjoy as well as need other dog company to learn to play, socialize and be good companion animals to people. The upside to this is that you won't feel as guilty leaving them alone and you get twice the love. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer, and you can always donate! If you want to know about cats/dogs specifically being shown at our adoption locations, please email us info@zanisfurryfriends.org closer to the date so we know your interest and will make every effort to have that pet at the event or let you know how and where you can meet.  It is extemely helpful and speeds up adoption if the application is filled out prior to visiting us so please do that before coming to our weekend events. Our weekend locations are: Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent  Follow us on FB, Zani's Furry Friends ZFF, for latest updates. Usually we are in our foster homes so all this is a bit more stressful but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer. And you can always donate:) Cats and Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD w/ all age appropriate shots and microchipped.

Story
Meet Avie! Your Future Adventure Buddy! Say hello to Avie, the sweetest little pup with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! From the moment you walk through the kennels, Avie’s gentle spirit and patient eyes will draw you in—just like she did with us. This one-year-old mixed breed is a bundle of joy who lives for sunshine, splashing in the water, and playing fetch until her paws are muddy and her heart is full. She’s a natural swimmer and would thrive in a home with a pool or near a lake. If you're an outdoorsy person, Avie is your perfect match! During her playtime, she showed off her friendly nature by running along the fence to play with other pups and soaking up every bit of affection she could get. She already knows how to sit and is eager to learn more in her basic obedience classes with you—especially if treats are involved! When she’s not chasing toys or making a splash, Avie loves to relax in the shade with her favorite chew toy, especially behind the bench where she can keep an eye on everything. She will cuddle up with you at nighttime on the couch like a little ball. Whether you're looking for a hiking partner, a poolside pal, or a loyal family member to share your adventures, Avie is ready to be your best friend. Meet Avie and see for yourself why everyone falls in love with her. Apply today and let Avie splash her way into your heart!
