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.

MISS DUCHESS: This sweet girl always has such a worried look on her face! But she is a happy girl, friendly, affectionate, good with older kids, housetrained, good on leash and rides well in the car! Loves to play with toys, enjoys a comfy spot to nap, and accompanying you on errands is her favorite! Sounds perfect! Well almost! Unfortunately Miss Duchess does not like little dogs or cats. We have found out that she absolutely cannot share her family with them. Apart from that she gets great reviews from everyone that meets her! She loves attention, will paw you for more pets and lean into you to gently remind you that she is there if you forget.
Duchess found herself animal control after her owner had health problems and there was no where else for her to go. She spent weeks at the shelter being a model citizen and so she evaded the euthanasia list time and time again as she was a staff and volunteer favorite. Duchess is estimated at around 4 years old, and weighs a chunky 45 lbs. Duchess 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. |

NELLY FURTADO is looking for her forever home! One that can spoil this little girl as she so clearly deserves.
Her foster mom tells us: She may be a senior but she is a spunky girl, great on walks, housetrained and sleeps quietly all night! She is so sweet with everyone she meets including children - love her! She literally just wants to be your best friend. She will snuggle in close to you whenever possible. Give her a soft bed, a blanket & a forever home and she will the happiest dog ever! With other dogs she needs a slow introductions to feel safe with them. So far she has been ignoring the cats. This girl has won over my entire family! Nelly found herself at animal control after being picked up as a stray. We don't know if she left home of her own accord or if she was dumped, but whatever it was a good thing. We know there is a lap waiting for her to enjoy. We think she does have a little age related limited vision and for that reason a quiet, less hectic home would suit her best. Nelly is a senior and weighs 17 lbs. Nelly has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed. We are asking a senior adoption donation of $250 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |

MAGGIE (adopted) & JAKE GIVE'EM PAW are brother and sister that were unwanted stray puppies. They were in poor shape when brought to the shelter suffering from horrible skin infections. Now a month later they are all healed and ready to start their new lives! They are sweet, friendly, wiggly, tail wagging, kissy babies who are looking to join fun families!
Like all puppies, they will need patient owners who are committed to teaching these pups all the things they need to know to grow up to be great doggie citizens. We will want to know your plans for a training class. They are not crate or house trained yet, though they are super smart and we know it wont take long for them to learn. Jake is the lighter brindle and Maggie the darker one. Jake and Maggie are around 3 - 4 months old and weigh in the region of 11 lbs. They are available to adopt separately. They have received age appropriate vaccinations, been dewormed, microchipped and spayed/neutered. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 each pup to help with the costs associated with caring for our rescue pets. |
RUBIE STARR! Rubie was fun to have around when everyone was home during the lock down. A puppy kept everyone busy and entertained. Unfortunately now back to school and work, no one had time for her and off to the pound she went. Rubie is a happy and friendly girl, and, of course, she is gorgeous to look at. She is young, and has plenty of puppy energy. She would benefit from an experienced dog or shepherd owner as she doesn't seem to have learned much with her previous family, especially in the manners department. She gets very excited to see people and loves to jump up to meet them. As she is a large dog, she needs to learn to greet people politely LOL! We are saying no little kids or small pets for Rubie.
Rubie is around 18 months old. She is presently close to 45 skinny pounds as she lost weight during her stay at animal control. Her foster family is working on getting some weight on her.
Rubie has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed.

MINDY SITERLING is a gorgeous little hound girl that went walkabout and couldn't find her way home! She is young and has plenty of puppy energy according to her foster mom! We are not sure if she ever had a family to give her guidance as Mindy is going to need a new owner that is prepared to start from scratch and teach her all the things she needs to know! She missed out on puppy kindergarten! Mindy is not a candidate for a first time dog owner as she needs an experienced pack leader to help her be a good canine citizen. She is smart and ready to learn and has already mastered the sit command. She is good in a crate, (she seems to like that), good with other dogs, and working on potty training (but certainly needs more work in that area)! We tell it like it is, no sugar coating - Mindy is fabulous and we love her, but she needs an owner prepared for the responsibility of bringing home an older puppy! No little kids please.
Mindy is around 7 months old, and weighs just 13 lbs.
Mindy has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed.

DUKE PAWLINGTON! This adorable guy is off the charts cute with his shortie little legs and his larger than life personality! He charms everyone that he meets and expects lots of pets in return. We think he was loved in his previous home and he's such a social guy that he probably was included in lots of outings. Unfortunately his owner passed and there was no one to take Duke in and so he found himself homeless and taken to the pound.
Duke is around 3 years old and weighs 35 lbs.
Duke has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.

ELLE MACFURSON! You have to meet this shelter staff and volunteer favorite to appreciate what a gem she is. Her photos will never show what a beauty she is with the most loving, happy personality! She is enjoying her stay with her foster family, who love her. After a long stay at the shelter she really appreciates all the attention, toys to play with, a kid to love on and a comfy bed. Her tail never stops wagging and she always has a smile on her face. She's going to make one family very happy if they are lucky enough to take her home!
Elle is young, just under a year, and is a nice medium size at 40 lbs.

RENEE ROLLWEGER! Look at this beautiful hound girl! She will simply wow you with all the cuteness she has to offer! Renee's foster mom tell us: Renee takes a few minutes to to warm up when you meet her, but then she loves attention. She walks great on a leash and is house/crate trained.
Renee loves playing with her doggie friends and this is a requirement to have another friendly pup in the home which will help give her confidence. We think Renee would benefit from obedience classes to help build her confidence too. With her being so shy, we prefer no little/young kids at this time.
Renee is around 2 years old and very petite at only 35-40lbs.
Renee has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed.

BEN-JAMMIN! Look at this handsome fella! His foster family tells us: He loves all kinds of toys and is entertained alone and playing fetch. A bit shy at first, once he warms up he is all love (true of people and other dogs). Would do well in a home with some activity- he happily and energetically walks for miles and then curls up for naps. Sweet, goofy, playful, and cuddly, this guy will be a great companion. Ben would be happiest with a doggie friend in his new home. He spent his first life with another dog in his home (Austin) before he was surrendered to Animal Control as his owner had no time for them
Ben is ready to find his forever home! Ben-Jammin is an adult and weighs 14lbs. Ben-Jammin 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. |
ROXANNA: If you are looking for a dog that is out of the puppy stage - Roxanna is for you. Loves to be petted and loved on and she returns the same back to you too. If you have a toy box filled with doggy toys, she will be there picking and choosing which one she wants to play with next so be ready for a lot of doggy toys on your floor! Roxanna does love to be with her people and would prefer a home where someone is home a lot. We have found that Roxanna prefers the ladies for sure and would also be happier with no children to bother her.
Roxanna knows several commands like sit, stay, leave it, is house and crate trained and sleeps through the night on a doggie bed. She is not that good on a leash and has some reactivity so someone that is ready to help her with training would be great.
Roxanna is around 6 years old and weighs 45 - 50 lbs.
Roxanna has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heartworm tested/treated and spayed.

CUPPA: Not available for adoption at this time. Oh boy, this guy has got the looks! He is adorable. Cuppa has been enjoying his time in a loving foster home while we find out more abou him and what kind of family would suit him best! His foster mom tells us: He’s a work in progress and needs someone who understands shelties and is willing to work with some quirks. He’d do good in a home with other dogs. He’s still learning how to be a good dog and role models are helpful. No small children or cats for Cuppa please.
Cuppa is a young adult and has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.

VANILLA NICE! ADOPTED What a cutie patootie! This little nugget was a little overwhelmed at the shelter so one of our volunteers brought him home to foster. She tells us he has been a great houseguest, he's a pretty chill dog, quiet, house and crate trained, walks nicely on a leash and takes treats gently! Sounds like he would be good for just about any situation! He would enjoy another playful dog as the dogs in his foster home don't want to play with him! He's young and enjoys his toys and chewies.
Vanilla is around a year old and weighs a skinny 15 lbs.

AUSTIN PAWERS ADOPTED can be a little timid upon first meeting and is looking for a patient owner that will give him time to realize that life is going to be good now! His foster mom tells us that once he settled in her home, his sweet and affectionate side soon showed! Austin was surrendered along with Ben and they look to be related but are not bonded. Austin is on the mellow and submissive side and we think another friendly dog in his new home would help with his confidence.

KINSEY ROSE: ADOPTED This is what her foster mom tells us: Kinsey is still waiting for her Chihuahua family. She is super easy, probably easiest foster I've had. She will not be warm and happy when she first meets you. She needs time to feel safe and trust. But once she does, she will give you all the love, kisses and companionship she can. She dances on her hind legs when super excited to see you. She's velcro . Her sleep schedule is your sleep schedule. Probably not the best with younger kids, not because she's nippy, but because they can be loud and unpredictable so she'll hide. She would do excellent with a senior. I call her a cat-dog
Kinsey is around 8 years and weighs just 9 lbs. Kinsey has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative, and spayed. We are asking for an adoption donation of $250 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |

Jada is estimated to be around 4 years old and she weighs just 11 lbs.

SISSY SPINCEK ADOPTED is a darling girl that would truly benefit from a loving family. Once she warms up to you, she'll hardly leave your side. She is a low activity dog that gets scared of loud noises. She has been in a foster home in Georgia and her mom says she is good on the leash and in the crate. .A quieter home would suit her best without little kids.

SAMMIE PAWVIS ADOPTED is just a happy go lucky little guy. He is very friendly with a tail that wags and wags when he sees you! He is a perfect size, not too big, not too small! Sammie seems to have had some training as he certainly sits pretty quick when he sees the treat bag. He's young and appropriately active for his age! Sammie had the honor of being chosen by the shelter to attend an off site adoption event and had a great time meeting everyone! Unfortunately it was a slow day and only one dog found their new home. Back to the overcrowded shelter he went, so of course, we invited him to join our rescue.

Our volunteers thought he he had such a great personality and just felt sad when they heard he was a “covid puppy”.

His foster mom tells us: If you are looking for a sweet, loving, and loyal dog to adopt, Mark is the one! Great with other dogs, loves everyone, and sleeps through the night in his crate!
Mark is looking for a fun family that will give him a little guidance as what was cute when he was small, is not so cute now he's grown! He has the potential to be a great family addition!

LOLA DAPHNE:ADOPTED This cutie pie had her world turned upside down when her family could not longer care for her and had to give her up.

She's playful and just an all around happy girl.
