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.
VERGIL: This cutie boy found himself on the euthanasia list at a high kill animal control in GA. One of our volunteers took pity on him and brought him home. She tells us he can be on the shy side initially but soon feels comfortable enough to show his true personality. He's sweet, calm and gentle and well behaved indoors and out. Vergil walks beautifully on a leash and gives the best puppy kisses! He loves to play fetch and has learned to sit. He is very smart and ready to learn more. He's going to make a great addition to some lucky family that is looking for a fun, older puppy ready to experience all the things that this big wide world has to offer. He's more than ready to tag along with whatever you are doing!
Vergil is around 6 months old and weighs 36 lbs. Vergil has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and neutered. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |

WONDER is under the weather and not available for adoption at present. Wonder is looking for that special someone! Someone that has a heart for the special needs dogs. Wonder is blind but that doesn't stop him enjoying life! He found himself at a very overcrowded shelter so we have no information on how he became impaired. What we do know is that he succumbed to a nasty upper respiratory infection while he was there and found himself next in line for euthanasia. Luckily for Wonder a volunteer offered to bring him home to foster.
This is what his foster mom shared with us: Wonder is a sweet, friendly boy. He is always happy and wagging his tail and seems to like everyone. Wonder loves to be warm and cozy. He loves soft beds and blankets and loves to bask in the sun. Wonder does well on leash, once he is acclimated, as long as you follow the same path every time. Wonder is housebroken in his foster home and will also use potty pads indoors. Wonder loves pets and wants to be close to people. He likes treats but has no interest in toys. He would love a home that is calm and quiet with a big window, so he can enjoy the sunshine.
Wonder is an adult. He weighs 15 lbs.
Wonder 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.

(Handsome) HANSON ADOPTED is ready to find his new people! He didn't have a very good start to his life as he strayed from home and found himself at Animal Control. But that will all change now he is a PPR boy! Hanson is a lovely goofy, funny pup! He has such a bright outlook on life and just loves everyone he meets. He would make a great dog for someone looking for a playful, friendly, always ready to explore kind of pup. His foster mom tells us: Hanson loves to snuggle and stay close to his people. He’s very eager to please- has a perfect sit. He’s a really good boy- would make a perfect family pet or solo companion. He just wants someone to be his family.
Of course, his new family should be ready for the responsibility of bringing home a puppy, albeit not a baby puppy. His foster mom tells us he already learned to sit (treats were involved LOL). He's smart and we know training will be a breeze - he is so eager to please! Hanson is around 6 months old and weighs in the region of 30 lbs. Of course he has some growing to do! Hanson has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and neutered. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |
CHLOE ROSE-ADOPTED is a super sweet social butterfly who loves to make new human and canine friends and is looking for her future family! She may be short in stature with her short legs, but she is not short on personality! We have to think she had a family as she knows several commands and was already spayed too. Unfortunately, they never came to find her when she found herself at the shelter. We don't understand why as this girl has great house manners and it's obvious she was well cared for. We don't think she was a lost dog on her own for long.
Chloe is around young, around 18 months and weighs 36 lbs. Chloe 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. |

JED-ADOPTED the sweetest and most loving dog according to his Georgia foster mom! He was brought to the shelter with Olinda both out for an adventure and not able to find their way back home. We don't know if they are related or just became buddies while having fun together! His foster mom tells us: Jed is affectionate, and especially loves to snuggle with my husband. He is a wannabe lap dog! He walks well on a leash, seems to be potty trained, sleeps quietly overnight in his crate and really enjoys a nice bone to chew on!
Jed is an adult, we think maybe 2 - 3 years old and weighs 25 lbs.
Jed has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.
