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.
Click on the DOG APP tab for our online 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.

MIXIE is a lovebug, that enjoys most of all being with her people (preferably in a lap), giving kisses to anyone that wants one! She is curious, playful, and attentive, she will make a great companion. Mixie came into the shelter as a stray, wearing a pretty pink collar. Unfortunately her owner did not take the time to come and reclaim her, so we invited her to join our rescue!

Mixie is young, around 8 months and weighs 35 lbs. Mixie has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |

TAZ is about as sweet and easy going as it gets! He came to us after being picked up as a stray and clearly had spent some significant time fending for himself on the street. Now that he is used to the good life as a foster, his perfect day consists of louging on the coziest dog bed in the house. Taz is a big fan of belly rubs and ultimately just wants to be by your side. He is crate trained, house trained, travels well in a car, and loves to play with his doggie siblings- and probably would enjoy kids or kitty siblings in his forever home. Taz is a young adult, between 4-6 years old and weighs 15 lbs, but could use some beefing up.
Taz 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. |

She is a professional at the zoomies and will fly past you with a toy in her mouth! Brooke Lynne loves to play tug and also appreciates a nice chew toy as she is teething. Sadly, she has already been to the shelter two times in her short life so we think it's time she finds a deserving forever home with a family that will love her forever!

She is a sweet, affectionate young lady that will bring much joy to the family that is lucky enough to her theirs own!

MILA is a doughy eyed love bug waiting for her perfect someone. She loves to get to the bottom of the toy bin at her foster home and proudly parades with her toys. If you have an open spot on the couch, she's in it and looking to be as close as possible! Mila would be a great family dog as she enjoys children but would also be happy to be your only child. If a lifestyle of lounging and loving is up your alley- she may be the one for you! A home without cats or small dogs would help set her up for success.
Mila is a young adult, we think 2 - 3 years old and she weighs in the region of 50 lbs. Mila has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |

JAX EARSLEY is a perfect little sidekick just waiting to be scooped up! His foster mom tells us that Jack loves to snuggle with his humans and his foster siblings. He gives sweet kisses and enjoys being under the covers at night. He is also crate trained and will sleep there as well. He loves to spend time outside and uses the doggie door like a pro. He likes to go for walks and does pretty well on the leash. He's a great traveling partner as he loves car rides.
He would be the most content in a quiet home with a low key lifestyle. Jax enjoys the company of dogs but would prefer lower energy canine friends- that's just his style! He is good with the cats in the foster home though. Jax is obviously on the 'chubby' side right now and his new family should have plenty of carrots and green beans on hand! Lots of walks and playtime (he loves to throw his toys in the air!) will help get him back to a healthy weight. Jax is around 7 years old and weighs 17 chunky pounds. Jax has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered. We are asking for an adoption donation of $250 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |

ROXANNA is a diamond is the rough and will be an amazing companion for the lucky person willing to take the time to get to know her. Once she is confident with her surroundings and settled, she is the most loving, happy girl who wants nothing more than to snuggle and to be by your side. "Roxy" would really prefer to be a Mama's girl and is more comfortable around women than men. She loves to play with toys, especially squeaky ones, and will carry her favorite toys around with her everywhere. "Roxy" is smart and knows several commands like “sit” and “leave it,” and is house trained. She does need continued work on her leash skills and some reactivity, so a home that is open and willing to help her with training would be awesome! (She would do best in a low activity quiet environment with no children, ideally as an only dog or with another submissive dog in an family.)
Roxanna is around 6-7 years old and weighs 45 - 50 lbs. She 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. |

FREDDIE MUTTCURY-ADOPTED is a darling young pup that is having a blast playing with his doggie friends in his foster home!

SYCAMORE & BANTU-ADOPTED are two darling girls that are a ready -made family looking for a warm lap to cuddle up on together. We try not to dwell on the past, but these gals have had their fair share of turmoil. Sycamore & Bantu were abandoned after hours at the animal control with little food and water. We think their "Chapter Two" should be with someone that can give them lots of love, spoiling, and show them how dogs are supposed to be adored!
Sycamore weighs only 6lbs, Bantu weighs 10lbs. They are clearly bonded to each other, and we think it's essential they are adopted together. We are also asking for no young children due their teeny size. They have been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative, and spayed. Their adoption donation has been graciously sponsored by Brunos Broken Buddies. An approved application is required for adoption. |

CHERRY-ADOPTED 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 small children or small dogs, but she is living with other dogs (bigger than she is) in her foster home and is playful with the ones that will play with her! 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. |
LORETTA LAYNN-ADOPTED is the perfect combination of brains and beauty! This little miss is happy sharing her home with children, cats, and other dogs. She would love to have a canine sibling in the home to play with when she's adopted, or maybe a close buddy? Loretta is sweet and affectionate, loves to cuddle, walks well on a leash and enjoys hiking with her foster family. She rides well in the car and is housetrained.
Loretta hopes the day's activities includes some treats and training because she is ready to please and is super food motivated!
Picked up as a stray, she likely had to fend for herself against cars. Loud cars and traffic sounds can make her anxious so we are hoping to find a home for her out of the city. She is house trained and walks well on a leash.
Loretta is young, around 8 months old and has already spent 2 months, one quarter of her life, stuck at animal control. She weighs around 45 lbs and probably has a little more growing to do- or at least filling out.
Loretta has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs of caring for our rescue pets.
