Dogs available for Adoption in New York
All dogs are in loving foster homes in the Hudson Valley area.
We adopt out of that area but you must come to meet the dog (s) you are interested in.
We do not have a physical shelter and require an approved application to meet our pets.
Please submit an application so we can put you in touch with the foster family.
They have the pet in their home and can give you more information and arrange a meeting.
An approved application is valid for a year and does not commit you to adoption.
Volunteers who answer email do not have information on our pets and will direct you to put in an application.
The first step in the adoption process is to submit an application.

Remember:
A newly adopted dog experiences a lot of stress. They often need time to settle in and decompress in their new homes. When you bring your new pet home simply, allow the dog to rest when needed, undisturbed, and in an area of the home without the likelihood of anyone not being able to resist petting. Use the rule of three when bringing in a new dog into your home.
·The first three days, your new pet may feel overwhelmed and is trying to adapt to its new surroundings.
·The first three weeks, the dog will start to settle in, feel more comfortable, and realize that this is their home now.
·After three months your dog should be adapted to its new home.
Please be patient as your dog settles in - and keep them safe. Some of our dogs have been strays - they have left home once, we don't want them to do that again. We recommend a martingale collar with an id tag. Leash walk even in a fenced in area to start and work on the come command with lots of treats.
ALL DOGS ARE IN FOSTER HOMES:
We do not have a shelter. With the current uncertainty in the world, we are still arranging adoptions on a case by case basis.
We will update the situation as necessary but for now this is the advice to our foster homes.
1. There will be NO adoption events for the foreseeable future. Petsmart can wait. (It’s closed for adoption events now)
2. Phone/email contact with potential adopters by screeners and foster homes will still be expected, as pets DO NOT transmit the virus and people are still probably going to want to adopt.
3. We are encouraging OUTDOOR meet and greets, with universal hygiene precautions in place for your safety, and that of the family you are meeting. Handwashing, social distancing, sanitizer, face coverings, etc. recommended- no handshakes/hugs, etc. If you are unwell or they are unwell, please postpone meeting.
Thank you.

MAVERICK is a happy boy looking for people to call his own! After setting into his foster home, he’s really enjoying playing with his foster siblings. His perfect day consists of cuddling on the couch, playing with his toys, and going on short walk with his dog friends! Maverick is always smiling and has a goofy snaggle tooth grin that captures his personality perfectly. He adores his foster parents, especially his foster dad and would love some adults to call his own! He is crate trained (he LOVES his crate) and house trained. Maverick prefers a calm environment without any children.
He’s young at heart and loves to play with toys (especially the ones with squeakers) and going for walks! Maverick qualifies for our Grey Muzzle Senior Adoption donation of $250. We think he is around 9 yrs old but it's hard to tell as he certainly has plenty of spunk! He is medium size - 30 lbs. Maverick has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered. |

Tessa
Starla ADOPTED
|
STARLA (ADOPTED) and TESSA (AVAILABLE)! These two beautiful sisters were very shy when they were surrendered to the shelter. Obviously they had not received much socialization and everything was scary for them. They are now being spoiled in separate foster homes and have made great progress. Their foster moms tell us they are very sweet gentle, and loving! Another dog in the home would be a requirement.
STARLA and TESSA are young, around 10 months old and weigh in the region of 60 + lbs. They are going to be on the large size when full grown. Starla and Tessa have been dewormed, vaccinated, heart worm tested negative, microchipped and spayed. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 each pup to help with the costs on caring for our rescue pups. |

QUANEE is not available for adoption at this time. male, 2 yrs 15 lbs
Aww Quanee - What a cutie! This little smiley fella is all about fun! His foster mom tells us: He’s adorable and small and he loves to cuddle up with you. But he’s also a typical bossy chihuahua. He wants to be in charge! He’s looking for a home with someone who can set boundaries with him while also making him feel safe and secure. He’ll need a little time and patience from someone in order to trust them. He’ll do best in a home without small children. Loves to fetch and snuggle. Demands attention and to be on your lap. He's a little cranky when he doesn't get his way - will require an owner that understands little dogs and can be his alpha. Seems he was quite spoiled in his last home and I bet his growling got him his way. But he's learning fast. Quanee will make a great addition to someone that appreciates the importance of being a good pack leader. A home without little kids please. Quanee has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |
Applications are good for a whole year so even if you don't see your new furry friend now, go ahead and get your application approved. Many times people wait until they see a dog listed and by then there could be approved applicants ahead.

ALBERT TRICKSTEIN- ADOPTED is a real mystery mutt with his stubby legs and stout body, he’s just too adorable for words! His little worried eyes and gentle personality tugged at our volunteers heartstrings, as his only ticket out of the pound was by a rescue. His foster mom tells us: It was such a beautiful day yesterday, that we took him into Kingston and walked around. He was great everywhere we went, and was happy to meet everyone, including young kids. He walks well on a leash. He is fine with the other dogs but not super interested in interacting with them.

RAMSEY ADOPTED is an adorable young guy with the cutest underbite! He was quite unsure of his surroundings at the shelter and just simply did not present well, but we know all he needed was a little tlc and to be able to decompress! Once outside, he was ever so sweet!! He was picked up as a stray so he might have been a lost dog for a while. Once he gets to know you, he just wants to be on your lap.

While she enjoys the company of her foster siblings, her preference is to be as close to you as possible. She gives the sweetest little kisses once she’s warmed up. Emery is a very smart girl and food motivated, so she’s easy to train. No young kids for her please, she has a delicate and petite frame and has to be handled gently.

ETHAN PAWKE ADOPTED! is an older puppy that found himself at animal control. He was scared and retreated to the back of the kennel and didn't want to come out. A volunteer asked if she could foster him and, of course, we said yes! She tells us that after a few days he settled into her home, and became a happy puppy. Obviously no one ever spent any time with him and he didn't even know how to take treats or play with toys. Well all that is changed now and he is has come out of his shell and is a typical rambunctious puppy. New situations are still a bit scary for him so his new family should be patient and be prepared for some serious training with him as he needs to learn some manners. He is however crate and potty trained. good with other dogs and kitties too.
Ethan is around 10 m old and weighs in the region of 35 lbs.
Ethan has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.

JACK O'LANTERN - ADOPTED is ready to find his new family! Jack is looking for a special home that is ready to give him the time and support he needs to blossom. He is a nervous, tiny chihuahua weighing 6 lbs so his family needs to understand how delicate he is as well! Give him time, and once he trusts you, he will follow you around the house and sit with you on the couch. He connected with his foster dad first and would love another daddy to love.
He is a typical chihuahua, so someone familiar with the breed would understand him best. Jack has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered. We think he is around 7 years old but, of course, we don't really know but he will have a senior adoption donation of $250. |

TELLY: ADOPTED Well Telly certainly wins the award for the most scruffiest dog ever! Unfortunately Telly found himself at Animal Control and was not at all happy about it. The shelter asked if we could take him as he was not going to be available for adoption to the public. Now in a loving foster home, we are able to find out more about him and what kind of home would suit him best.
His foster mom tells us: Telly is sweet and shy but clearly had had a bad encounter with humans before becoming a PPR dog. He is fearful and will snap unless approached very slowly and at his terms. Once he warms up, he gives the most adorable little kisses!
Telly is working on his house training skills and is learning that a leash is not a scary thing at all! He gets along well with all dogs, but absolutely loves other dogs his size. We recommend a family that is patient and has plenty of time to devote to earning Telly’s trust. He is not appropriate for children due to his size and fearful nature.
Telly is around 4 years old and weighs in at a whopping 7 lbs.
Telly has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.

EDWIN ADOPTED is very happy go lucky guy that loves everyone, including the dogs in his foster home. His foster mom tells us He is a disaster on a leash and will get himself and anyone/anything in proximity tangled up. I think he's doing it on purpose, because he believes that he should be carried everywhere! Edwin has a wonderful personality and though he is a senior, he still has a ton of energy. He loves going outside, but is also happy running around inside. He truly is the most flexible, easy to please dog I have ever met.

SOFIA TAILGARA - ADOPTED Aren't her ears the BEST?! She is sweet and curious who is on the timid side. Her foster mom tells us Sofia is shy but getting better day by day and feeling more comfortable. Sofia needs a little time to warm up to new people but she is sweet and once she opens up she is a silly girl that is loving and affectionate too! She loves to be outside and really enjoys hiking! She’s even pretty good with cats. She loves to go for long walks as long as there is not much traffic. She certainly wouldn't be happy in a busy area. She is housebroken and good with the resident cats. Sofia is ready to find a new family after her family left her at the shelter as they didn't have time for her! A family that will understand her world has been very limited and will work with her to help her gain confidence. Another dog in the family would be good!
Sofia is a young adult, we think around 18 m and she weighs 47 lbs.
Sofia has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed.

SHAKEIRA - ADOPTED is a pretty girl with a cute nubby tail that is always wagging! She is chunky, not tall. She is friendly and does well with other dogs. There were some girl scouts visiting the shelter on the day we evaluated her and she had great fun playing and running with them! She is blind in one eye but our vet said there was no need to remove it as it is causing no problems. Shakeira tested positive for heart worms and had to be treated. It seems like this girl hasn't had the best home the first time around, but that is all about to change now she is a PPR dog! She deserves only the very best from now on!
Shakeira is around 3 years old and weighs 45 lbs.

BOSUN ADOPTED is a handsome lad who always has a giant smile on his face and is ready for fun! He has such soft fur and an adorable 'paint dipped tail'!
Boson loves other dogs and is a very friendly and well socialized boy. He has a lot of energy and we think it best if there is another playful dog in the home so they can play together! He does like to chase cats so either no cats for Bosun or dog savvy cats that will put him in his place!
Bosun has been to 'school' to learn some basic manners. He will need an owner that will continue to work with him and reinforce the things he has been taught. He's so smart, and eager to learn! Bosun needs an active family as he is a busy boy, a fenced in yard would suit him well and another confident dog to play with is a requirement. He loves playing with his friends at the dog park. He rides well in the car!
Handsome, smart and ready to find his forever family now!

BERGEN! ADOPTED Attention all our big dog lovers! Bergen is available and looking for a new family! His previous owners loved him but he was too big and too active for them. They tell us: Bergen is an absolute love, enjoys cuddling and is very sweet - but he needs more activity than we can give him. So Bergen is back in foster and ready to find a new home. He is big and young and needs an active family with a fenced in yard so he can run and play. His foster mom tells us he is one big lovable hunk of a guy! He's good with everyone, doesn't bother the free roaming cats at his foster home either! Bergen needs a family that appreciates his size and energy. He is incredibly affectionate! Bergen is a really special dog with so many sweet and gentle qualities. A big lover. Because of his size, no little kids.
Bergen is a young dog, maybe around 2 yrs, who weighs in the region of 75lbs!

PETER BARKER ADOPTED (That is just his name, he's not a barker LOL) is an adorable gentleman who enjoys everyone he meets. He walks so well on a leash and just prances along side of you as you walk together. He has shortie legs and a fabulous little smile. This little guy’s personality just can’t be beat. He's pretty low key so would suit someone looking for a dog that doesn't need a lot of exercise. Peter is not a fan of kids, so older kids only please.
Peter is a senior with a Grey Muzzle adoption donation of $250 and he weighs in the region of 20 lbs.
