Story
Meet 3 month old Benji!! This handsome boy is so sweet, loving and outgoing. He loves to play with other dogs and toys. He is sleeping through the night until early morning, working on potty training but doing well so far. We think he’ll be around 50 lbs or so but not too sure! He loves being outside. He also looks to his foster family making eye contact and following them intently so we believe he will be a quick learner! Apply via www.nyshar.org

Story
Meet Mama Sugar! Her name suits her well because she is just as sweet as sugar. She arrived from South Carolina on 9/20 with her puppies. She was clearly neglected weighing 32 pounds (should be more like 50-55 lbs). She's approx 4-5 years young. It's been so great watching her play with her foster brothers and learn to play with toys 🥹 She LOVES humans and wants nothing more than to be right next to you. She's crate trained and housebroken. She loves taking walks and basking in the sun. She is an absolute delight and deserves her happily ever after. Make this sweet, beautiful, cuddle girl yours. Your heart will be complete ❤️🐾 www.nyshar.org/applications

Zane | Tag #1487 | Male (pending neuter) | 1-2yrs old | Still being tested with other dogs | NO CATS Zane is a handsome 1–2 year old Pit mix with lots of love to give!
