Adoption Application: https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplication. Dogs will be spayed/neutered through us prior to finalizing any adoption. ********If dog/pup is showing as available it is available. Please do not email asking if it is. Submit application to meet dog if interested - yes an application is required******** Meet Rosie! This sweet girl is a 1 year old Shih Tzu who weighs in around 7 pounds. She is a peanut who is full of energy and makes her foster mom laugh constantly with her cuteness and silliness! If you're looking for a little lap dog who absolutely loves attention- Rosie is your girl! She is leash trained, loves car rides, enjoys sleeping next to her humans in bed and is doing amazing with potty training. She is also good with using a pee pad when needed. She loves ear scratches, belly rubs, kisses and all of the snuggles you can offer. Rosie would be perfectly fine as the only dog who is the center of attention. She is good with other dogs but would do best with a sibling who is not submissive and will correct her if she plays too rough. If Rosie has melted your heart like she has ours- please apply today to give her the beautiful gift of her forever family.

Shih Tzu

Arcade, NY

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Looking for the right home where my sweet girl Maisie can thrive. She needs a home with no children, preferably only with one or two people. She is a snuggler and likes to lay with her "person". She knows basic sit/stay/lay down/etc. and knows how to push a button to tell us she needs to go outside. She IS potty trained but sometimes has behavioral "accidents" as many small breeds do. She will use a pee pad when available. She has always liked any cat she meets. She is not usually a fan of other dogs, but might like another dog her size. The reason we are not the right home for her is she resource guards when it comes to her special spots and her people. Unfortunately that means my kids often can't approach me without her growling. She does have a bite history, both times with little kids when they were in her face/took something from her. Kids seem to make her nervous in general.

Story

Meet Rocky! At a mighty 11 pounds, Rocky is a 2–3 year old Shih Tzu with big main-character energy. Let’s cover his resume: Neutered Potty trained Leash trained Kid approved Knows basic commands Previously lived with cats Dog friendly/neutral… with a bit of “stranger danger” at first Rocky is an avid toy enthusiast. Collector, really. Sharer? Debatable. He also enjoys a thrilling hobby known as indoor parkour, where tables are less “furniture” and more “suggestions.” He’s currently working to understand that tabletops are not part of his personal obstacle course. He takes his downtime very seriously—professional lap warmer, expert napper, and strong advocate for comfort at all times. That said, “alone time” and “quiet crate time” are still under negotiation. Rocky is very food motivated and picks up on things quickly. He does have a stubborn streak… or maybe he just likes to question authority. Either way, he thrives with clear boundaries, consistent structure, and praise. Give him an inch and he will run the entire household like a tiny, fluffy CEO. Rocky is looking for a home that will provide guidance, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement. In return, you’ll get a hilarious, affectionate, slightly mischievous companion who will absolutely keep life interesting! Does Rocky sound like a perfect addition to your home? Applying is the first step to meet him - APPLICATION (See our Dog Adoption FAQs before applying) April 16, 2026, 9:48 pm
