As the runt, she may have started life small, but she’s growing into a beautiful girl with an even bigger heart. Now around 40 pounds, Kyra has blossomed into a sweet, snuggly, and curious companion—just like her mom, Sunny. She loves affection, enjoys exploring the world around her, and is always ready to cuddle up after a day of adventures. Kyra’s mom, Sunny, weighs around 45 pounds, though her dad is unknown, so her adult size is an estimate. Kyra is good with other dogs and cats too!

Story
URGENT ‼️ Lids needs a new home immediately. URGENT ‼️ We have an urgent request to find a new home for Lids.  This boy was adopted from us two and a half years ago but his adopter can't keep him due to recent health issues. Lids is a three-year-old, 75 pound boy who is full of energy, and love.  He's a cuddler and an  affectionate boy!   He is looking for a family who can show him love and patience, and work with him if needed. He is good with humans of all ages, including kids.  But we recommend older kids because of his energy. He is good with dogs, but like most dogs, he will need a proper introduction. No cats for him. He is housebroken and knows commands for 'sit', 'down', 'off', 'high five' and 'come'. He does need some work with his leash walking skills. The best home for Lids will be: With an active owner who can take him hiking, running, or do agility with him. A friendly and playful resident dog (if there already is a dog in household). Patient owner who will give him time to decompress and work with him and shower him with love. Lids is currently located in the NY area.  Courtesy Post.

Story
🐾 Meet Canela! 🐾 Name: Canela Age: 1 year old Gender: Female Weight: 64 lbs Size: Big girl, big heart! ❤️ Canela’s story is one of survival. We rescued her just minutes before she was scheduled to be euthanized at a high-kill shelter in South Texas, near the Texas–Mexico border. She was given a second chance, and now she’s ready to find the family she was always meant to have. Canela is a big, beautiful ball of energy with an even bigger personality! She is incredibly sweet, loving, smart, curious, playful, and adventurous. She loves being involved in everything her people are doing and is definitely a Velcro dog — if you’re there, she wants to be right there with you. ❤️ She LOVES to play, and water is one of her favorite things! Whether she’s running around, exploring, playing with her ball, or finding something fun to get into, Canela is always ready for her next adventure. She is leash trained, crate trained, and house trained, and she does well with kids. She also enjoys other dogs who can match her energetic and playful temperament. Now, let’s talk about her personality! 😂 Canela is not shy about asking for attention. She has a demanding little personality when it comes to getting love and attention, and she will absolutely let you know when she thinks it’s time to focus on her. She’s affectionate, people-oriented, and wants to be part of the action. And one very important Canela fact: She can jump ANY fence. And I mean ANY fence. 😂 Height does not seem to matter to this girl. Her future family will need to be extremely careful with fencing and have a secure plan to keep this adventurous escape artist safely contained. 🏡 Canela’s ideal home Canela needs an active home with people who understand and appreciate an energetic young dog. She would thrive with a family that enjoys outdoor adventures, playtime, exercise, and keeping their dog mentally and physically engaged. Her energy can be a lot if you’re expecting a calm couch potato — but if you’re looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy who will shower you with affection, Canela may be your girl. Once you get past her “I HAVE ENERGY AND I NEED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT!” personality, you’ll discover the most loving, loyal, affectionate girl. Canela has already fought hard for her second chance. Now she just needs someone who will give her the active, loving forever home she deserves. 🐾❤️ Could Canela be your next adventure buddy? Canela is spayed, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. PLEASE READ BELOW: To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals out in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We ONLY do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed ($495) INCLUDES transport from Texas to the Northeast. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks: Albany, NY Port Chester, NY area Amenia, NY area Wells, VT and Brattleboro, VT Nashua, NH Willington, CT - Stamford, CT - Dayville, CT Steubenville, OH – Cincinnati, OH – Grove City, OH Grove City, PA and Washington, PA Ridgefield, NJ and Mt Laurel, NJ Emmitsburg, MD and Elkton, MD Falls Church, VA and Glenn Allen, VA We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is best fit for your home. With an approved application, we do put you in touch with the Texas foster who has the doggy for you to make sure the pup is the perfect fit

Story
*Name: Nugget *Age: 1 year *Current Weight: 65lbs *Rescued from: New York City  *Adoption fee: $475 Meet Nugget! Nugget is an incredibly sweet, gentle boy with a goofy personality, a big smile, and absolutely no idea how large he is. He is affectionate, playful, easygoing, and always seems happy just to be wherever his people are. He has a really nice, moderate energy level and is equally happy joining you for an outing or relaxing at home. Nugget walks beautifully on leash and has been an easy companion everywhere he has gone. He enjoys walks, trips to the park, jogging around the lake, visiting family and friends, and tagging along for everyday activities. He adjusts well to new places and is the kind of dog who can comfortably be part of whatever the day brings. At home, Nugget is very well behaved. He knows "sit" and "paw", loves stuffed animal toys, playing ball, and is always ready for a good snuggle. He is also learning how wonderful it is to slow down and enjoy the comforts of home, including soft beds, couches, and simply stretching out near his people. Nugget is fantastic with children, does well with cats, and absolutely loves other dogs. He would be thrilled to have a canine companion, but he would also be perfectly content as the only dog in the home. He loves car rides, especially when he can stick his head out the window and enjoy the fresh air, and he has a naturally social, adaptable personality that makes him easy to include in family life. Nugget’s story did not start out the way it should have. He found himself scared and alone at NYC ACC after being surrendered by his previous family through no fault of his own. He was still a young dog with his whole life ahead of him, and rescue gave him the chance to start over. Since then, Nugget has shown everyone just how special he is. He is loving, silly, well-mannered, and endlessly happy to be part of the action or curled up beside the people he loves. Nugget is ready for a family who wants a wonderful companion to share both the fun days and the quiet ones with.  To apply to adopt, fill out an application at https://snarrnortheast.org/adopt/ PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR FAQs  ##2744969##

This handsome young man came to us thanks to the kindness of a Good Samaritan who found him roaming the streets. Not only did he ensure Bob's safety, but he also covered the cost of Bob's neuter surgery and rabies vaccination.
