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.
CHERRY will be a very devoted companion for the right adopter. This little snuggler is very corgi- shaped and is happiest when curled up in a chair or lap. She quickly bonds closely with her new pack members and loves to follow them around the house.
She is house-trained, crate trained, energetic, happy and smart. She has responded well to individual training: sit and lay down are mastered, and she is very good on the leash. She loves hiking and chasing a ball, and believe it or not, carrots and green peppers are her favorite training treats!
She would be best in an environment without other pets or small children.
Cherry can bark at sudden noises outdoors and will alert you when there is activity outside. For this reason, she is not suited to apartment/condo living with lots of coming and going!
She will be a wonderful addition to any home looking for an active, faithful companion.
Cherry is around 4 years old and weighs in at a chunky 30 lbs.
She has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heartworm tested negative and spayed.
Cherry's adoption donation has been sponsored but an approved application is still required of course.

NIA POOH (not currently available) is new to the rescue. She is settling into her foster home but feeling a little under the weather. She is sweet and friendly and is doing good with the dogs in her foster home. She just needs to rest.
NIA is just a tiny ball of fluff weighing under 5 lbs so a home that is familiar with little dogs and older kids just because of her size. We think she is around 6 months old.
Nia has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed.

CAMILLA is an adorable little chihuahua girl! Look how pretty she is! Camilla was a found as a stray in downtown Georgia and we are so glad nothing bad happened to her while she was fending for herself! She’s even started warming up to her for foster parents with little kisses and tail wags! Camilla is still learning how to confidently move around her foster home.

DELILAH (ADOPTION PENDING)nearly lost her life at animal control. She found herself at a very rural shelter in the North Georgia mountains. A small shelter that has no vet on staff. Delilah had some hair loss and so she found herself on the euthanasia list as they can't adopt out 'medical needs' dogs. Luckily we found out about it just in time to save her and a foster bought her home. A few weeks later, Delilah is looking much better, her hair loss and ear infections have been treated. Delilah is such a sweetie and has done well in her foster home. She sleeps on the bed with her foster mom, is housetrained and good with the dogs in the home.
Delilah is around 4 years old and weighs 25 lbs.
Delilah has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed.

This pretty girl is ROXANNA! She loves to play with toys as you can see, especially squeaky ones, and will carry her favorite toys around with her everywhere. She knows several commands like “sit” and “leave it,” is house trained and sleeps on her doggie bed at night.
Roxanna is looking for a family that will appreciate her unique personality. It can take some time for her to trust new people but once she does, she is the most loving, happy dog who wants nothing more than to snuggle with you and to be wherever you are. We have found that Roxanna prefers the ladies and would also be happier with no little kids. She would love a fenced in yard, and a quieter environment, no apartments or busy towns. Roxy can be selective about her doggie friends so she would be happy to be your one and only or with a submissive dog (s). Roxanna is around 7 years old and weighs 45 - 50 lbs. Roxanna has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heartworm tested/treated and spayed. We are asking for an adoption donation of $250 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |

Who doesn’t love a low rider!? Just look here! Mr. SHORTY has a big dog body with little dog legs, he’s just so silly and such a conversation starter! We met Shorty and fell in love! Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy or a companion for your next Netflix marathon on the couch; Shorty is your guy! He loves children and would be a perfect family dog. Sleeps through the night in his crate and is not a big barker. Walks well on a leash. Shorty isn't a fan of small dogs or cats, and he seems to prefer female dogs though he may be happier being an only dog. Poor Shorty was one of the longest residents at the shelter. The dim lighting in the kennels meant he was getting overlooked.
Mr. Shorty is around 18 months old and weighs in the region of 50 lbs. Mr. Shorty 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. |

ELLY! ADOPTED Who is looking for the cutest puppy ever! Elly has that adorable pouty boxer look going on which makes you just want to stop what you are doing and pet her! Elly's foster mom tells us: Elly is such a fun girl! She’s super wiggly and has a strong boxer look and demeanor. Elly is a very sweet girl, a quick learner, and the word “stranger” is not even in her vocabulary! Older children would be best for her, if any, as when she gets running with a toy, she’s like a happy hopping bull in china shop!
She’s very thin and has a bit of muscle to gain, so she would love to find some active parents to help her gain the weight she needs. House training and crate training were easy peasy for her! She would be happy with doggie siblings or as an only dog, she’s great at playing on her own. Elly is around 6 m and weighs approx 25 lbs. Elly has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and spayed. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs involved with caring for our pets. |

We LOVE LUCY! ADOPTED Lucy is the life of the party! This happy girl smiles with wiggling her whole body, (which is a little “chunky” at the moment). She also has amazing control over her ears, up/down/sideways! This girl is so sweet. She is smart and someone trained her well. She is a love. If she’s ever doing anything she shouldn’t be, like chasing a cat or a bird, the word no stops her in her tracks- such a soft spirit! She loves affection and lives with children and other animals in her foster home. She looks larger in pics than she actually is- lovely compact beauty! Definitely house broken and good on a leash. Slow to warm up to some people. Totally fine with kids and loves to snuggle.
Lucy was brought to the shelter when her owner fell on hard times and needed a second job. Staff said he sobbed as he left her because he loved her so much. We want to help her find that love again! Lucy is around 4 years old and weighs a chunky 49 lbs. She needs to lose a few pounds! Lucy has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested/treated and spayed. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |

ENRIQUE WIGGLELESIAS ADOPTED is one big ol’ fun loving pup!!! Our volunteers were tickled by his love for a squeaky ball.. so excited and confused! It was adorable but also quite sad to think he really hadn’t known the joy of toys in his short life! Now he is in a foster home he is making up for lost time and enjoying toys and bones! His foster mom says Enrique is such a lovebug. He always wants to be near you. He's going to make a great snuggler. He is such a good boy.
Enrique has the saddest story… he was found DUMPED in a crate on the side of a road in rural Georgia. He was covered in bleeding sores, some bandaged, and with very little hair. The shelter staff helped nurse Enrique back to health and he is as good as new with a shiny new coat! Enrique is around 8 months old and weighs approx. 35 lbs Enrique has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.
