Story
DOB 5-12-2019 Elias is a retired puppy mill worker, he was stuck in a cage for 5 years of his life from the time he was born. When he came he was so thin, his teeth were totally rotten and he couldn't eat. Well that was his old life, not his new life! Elias has been neutered, all teeth had to be removed, he was heartworm negative and is now on ProHeart6, up to date on all shots and has become a little on the porky side! Elias would love to have his own home now, something he never had hopes of is a reality for him now. Elias is crate trained, gets along with other little dogs, would love to be loved by someone who knew how special he is. Elias's adoption fee is 500.00, this transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, the only one we use for our kids! The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here.

Story
Buddy is a 4 yr. old maltese/shihtzu mix looking for a forever home where he can thrive. This great little guy is the perfect balance between playfulness and professional sleeper, making him an ideal companion for someone who is looking for energy and calm. He loves spending time outdoors so a home with a fenced in yard is what we are looing for, so he is able to romp around safely.  He gets along well with other dogs so he would love a canine "buddy" to play and snuggle with.  Here's the important part, so Buddy finds the perfect home!  He needs an ADULT ONLY home, experienced in resource guarding who is open to working with a trainer and behaviorist so Buddy can be understood, and all can live in Harmony.  This is something that is common in dogs and can be managed.  A strong confident person who will set boundaries for buddy, which includes keeping him OFF furniture like sofa and beds.  Buddy truly is a love and needs all the support he can get to find his perfect "forever" home.  Please only put in an application if you are able to give Buddy the structure and understanding he needs. Please go to the link to fill our our adoption application.  https://www.remembermerescueny.net/adoption-application  Remember Me Rescue does not adopt out of the local area, no transport is available.  We adopt to Long Island, Westchester, NYC area and parts of Connecticut only. Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you! ##1831887##

Story
Hi, I’m Baby Shark, a 6-year-old Maltese mix with a big attitude and even bigger personality! Despite my small size, I’m basically a cranky little old man trapped in a dog’s body, and I know exactly what I want and how to get it. 😎 I’m quirky, independent, and definitely particular about what I like—like, don’t even think about picking me up or brushing me. I’m Baby Shark for a reason, people. 🦈 Now, you may be wondering, “What does Baby Shark do for fun?” Well, I love to watch TV—especially Stepbrothers. 🛋️ I have an undeniable obsession with Will Ferrell (don’t ask me why, I just love him), and I’ll happily sit there and watch the movie on repeat if you’ll let me. Even though I can be a little grumpy at times (hey, I’m not that old, but I’m set in my ways), I’m also a huge cuddle bug. I may not want to be picked up, but I’ll happily curl up next to you on the couch for some quality cuddle time and pets. ❤️ I’m a total social butterfly and love hanging out with cats, kids, and other dogs. I’ve come a long way and have captured the hearts of everyone lucky enough to meet me. 🐾 Oh, and did I mention I LOVE chicken? 🍗 If you ever need a way to win me over, just offer me a little chicken, and you’ll be my best friend. If you're looking for a quirky, lovable little guy who’s full of surprises, then I’m your man. Adopt Baby Shark and let’s enjoy some laughs, cuddles, and, of course, some Will Ferrell movie nights together! 😄

Story
Hi! My name’s Worm (short for Wiggle Worm), and I’m a 3 ½-year-old Maltese with a whole lot of personality packed into my little body. I might be small, but don’t let that fool you—I’ve got the energy of the Energizer Bunny and the confidence of a Great Dane. 💪 I don’t walk like other dogs—I bounce! It’s like my feet are made of springs, and I’m always ready for my next adventure. Whether it’s chasing my toys, zooming around the yard, or just keeping you on your toes, I’m a whirlwind of excitement. 🌀 I’m sweet as can be and great with kids (they match my energy!). I’m also okay with dog-savvy cats who can handle my big personality. However, I’m extremely picky when it comes to other dogs. I do not get along with large dogs, so I need a home where I can be the king of the castle or have very carefully chosen small-dog friends. 👑🐾 Now, about my living situation—I need a secure yard with a 5-ft fence (no chain link for me, please—I’m clever and might try to escape!). A GPS collar is also required, just in case my springs launch me into a new adventure. If you’re looking for a bundle of chaos, cuddles, and non-stop entertainment, I’m your guy. Adopt Worm today, and let’s bounce into a lifetime of fun together! 🐾✨

Story
Meet Ozzie. In mid-November, this incredibly sweet little dog found himself in a dire situation. He wasn’t feeling well, so his family took him to the vet. Shockingly, their recommended solution was to put Ozzie to sleep. Thankfully, the vet couldn’t bring himself to go through with it. Instead, he asked Ozzie’s family to release him into his care, and they agreed. He immediately called Critter Cavalry, and Ozzie’s story took a hopeful turn.   After a second thorough exam and x-rays, it was determined that nothing was seriously wrong with Ozzie. He only seemed to have some mild back pain, which resolved after a short course of medication. The moment Miss Dawn arrived home and Ozzie heard the other dogs, his spirits lifted. He happily bounded out of the car, and in no time, he was running around the backyard with his new friends.   Ozzie is a very sweet little man who is 7 years old and 9 lbs.  He is very friendly.  Ozzie gets along great with other dogs.  He does not meet a 4 legged stranger.  He also loves people.  Ozzie would do best in an all-adult home with another small dog to play with.  He is happy boy who just brings a smile to your face.  Don’t you want a similar smile on your face!!     To be considered for Ozzie’s forever family and to request an adoption application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Ozzie is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)December 11, 2025, 7:13 pm
