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.

RONAN: This handsome young pup would make a great addition for someone looking for a playful, friendly, always ready to explore, kind of pup. He has never found a couch he can’t make himself comfortable on and thinks he is a lap dog.
Ronan loves toys and hopes his new family will have plenty for him to play with! His foster family took him on vacation and this is what they said: Ronan is a good travel friend. We had a 4 hour ride up to VT and he relaxed and slept the whole way and really seems to enjoy car rides. He's been very well behaved and befriended a 135lb Newfoundland dog where we stayed. He was a hit at the ice cream place and enjoyed another pup cup and a chunk of smoked pork. Ronan found himself in doggie jail when he was picked up by the dog catcher. His super cute hound dog nose probably led him on an adventure! He is ready to put his past behind him and start his new life! Ronan is around 7 months old and weighs in the region of 30 - 35 lbs. Ronan has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and neutered. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs of caring for our rescue pets. |

TAFFY is looking for someone missing doggie affection in their life! She is just about as cuddly and sweet as they get- she melts into a doggie puddle in your lap and even gives the sweetest and gentlest hugs. Wouldn’t you want a dog that hugs you back!?
She is doing so well in her foster home, and is playful and affectionate with both people (loves kids) and her doggie foster siblings! We think as long as she got some exercise (she loves to swim!), she could fit into many different lifestyles. Taffy is very smart and really wants to please, she learned crate training and house training quickly. We are hoping someone finds her just irresistible- because she is! Taffy weighs about 30lbs and is around 8-9 months old. She 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 rescue pets. |

SCOUT was given up by his first human along with his siblings, but he hasn’t let that hold him back! He is absolutely FULL of love and joy! His favorite place to be is curled up next to his humans, but he knows when it’s time for playtime or walks and will run around with excitement!
His foster mom tells us: Scout is such an affectionate lovey boy! He loves to snuggle with his people and keeps you company when you're cooking. He enjoys playing with foster sibs & is calm with our cats. He is crate trained & sleeps well in crate. He walks well on a leash and loves meeting new people and dogs! He is very treat motivated so learning new things is fun for him. Scout is around 7-8 months old and weighs approx 30 lbs. Twizzler was his sister who is already adopted! Scout 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. |

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. |

STANLEY: aka 'Stan the Man' This awesome boy has it all! He is so cute! Check out those freckles! Even after a long stay shut up in doggie jail, he is so happy to meet everyone! Stanley may be short in stature but is not short on personality.
He is playful, incredibly smart and eager to have a family of his own to love and hang out with! He would love to accompany you on walks around town! He is friendly to everyone and would want to stop and say Hi so you would make new friends too! He also would make a great doggie companion if your pooch is feeling lonely.

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.

GENE ADOPTED (and his sister GINA) went on an adventure and found themselves picked up by the dog catcher and taken to the pound. No one came to find them and as everyone at the shelter just loved them, we invited them to join our rescue.
GENE is truly a love bug and knows how to give his paw to make you love on him more! He’s a beautiful boy, inside and out, and he LOVES people.

RANDALL ADOPTED is a little guy that was found wandering all by himself with no family in sight so the dog catcher brought him to the shelter to keep him safe. Unfortunately nobody came to reclaim him so Randall found himself in need of a new home! His foster mom tells us he is a little shy but settling in well and getting on great with her little dog. He seems to be housetrained and lets her know when he needs to go out. He's more of a couch potato than a high- energy pup, house trained and crate trained. Great with people and dogs. He has the sweetest disposition.

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. |

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.
