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.
HERBERT PAWSOME:
Herbert is a the sweetest little lap warmer! His perfect day consists of being your couch companion, giving the softest kisses, and laying in the sunniest spot of the house. He may be a senior citizen but he gets around very well, and has shed some weight in foster care! Herbert doesn’t mind the company of other pets, but would prefer to have no young children in his forever home. He is house trained and crate trained
Herbie loves treats but they have to be healthy as he has to watch his weight LOL. Wherever there is food - he is there. Even the sound of wrappers.
Herbert weighs around 12 lbs.
Herbert has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, is receiving treatment for heartworms which PPR provides, received a dental, and neutered.
We are asking for a senior adoption donation of $250.

ROBIN ROLLIANS: His foster mom tells us: Robin is a happy, loving and lovable, curious, adorable, affectionate, sometimes-goofy, totally non-aggressive sweet-natured, young boy. House-broken and crate-trained, too! Not a single accident or marking in the house since he's been here. He's also a very handsome lad, with his beautiful brindle coat.
Only thing he needs to be a perfect companion or family member is some training, as he's still puppy-like in many ways. I think Robin would be a great family-with-kids dog, because of his sweet nature and love of affection. I don't have cats, but I imagine he would be totally non-aggressive with them. He's fine with my chihuahua mix, but not a playmate. Robin is around a year old and weighs 33 lbs. Robin 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. |

NOVA is an adorable young lady who is a lover of treats and affection! Check out her ears that can't quite decide whether to be up or down! Nova is looking to join a fun family. One that is active and ready for puppy kisses! She loves to play with other dogs and, in fact, she came from an animal control where dogs share kennels. The staff told us she loved her kennel mate, and they would often be found cuddling together after they had tired of playing. Her friend got adopted so we offered to help Nova find a new friend!
Nova is young with plenty of energy and so her new family should be ready with a plan in place for training! She is super smart, super fun, super friendly and ready to be someone's super new addition. Nova is around a year old and weighs in the region of 30 lbs. Nova 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. |

BENNY PAW JET is such a handsome lad! Look at his gorgeous brindle coat. Benny is a sweet boy, can be a tad shy upon first meeting, but soon warms up and is quite the people person. Benny is a very good-natured, smart, and social boy that loves to play with his doggie friends. In fact another dog in the home would be great as he is young and does have plenty of puppy energy. A fenced in yard also would suit him best. Benny has already started learning some commands and is crate trained. A family that is ready for the responsibility of continuing training would be perfect as he is treat motivated and eager to please! Older kids only just because he could be too much puppy for the very little ones.
Benny is around a year old and weighs in the region of 30 lbs. Benny 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. |

MARIA PAWAPOVA is a sweet older soul who loves her nice warm bed and a lap to sit on. Her foster parents say she is so gentle and easy going and her favorite spot during the day is in her dog bed in front of the window in the sun.
Maria hasn't had the best of care in her life and like many small dogs was in need of a dental for the few teeth she had left. Unfortunately they were all in bad shape and so now Maria has just one tooth! Don't worry though, Maria has a great appetite and gobbles down her food so you wouldn't even know! Maria walks great on a leash, her tail wags when she sees you get out the leash! She would be a great companion to accompany you on errands.
Maria was brought in as a stray and the shelter was excited when the rabies tag gave them an owner. Unfortunately her elderly owner could not longer care for her and had given her away and couldn't be located.
Maria has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative, received a dental and spayed.
Maria is a senior with a senior adoption donation of $250.

CALVIN: This little guy sure is cute! He came into the shelter and like most little ones, became very scared and was marked for rescue only. The shelter staff worked hard to gain his trust and eventually he started to relax and settle down.
Calvin is doing well now he is in a foster home and so he is available for adoption. Older kids only in Calvin's new home please. Calvin is round 5 years old and weighs 22 lbs. Calvin has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.

THOMAS SCRUFFBERG:
Thomas has been in foster for a few weeks so we could get to know him better. He is now ready to start looking for his forever home! This little man has quite the attitude and needs a patient owner that is willing to continue his socialization and training. Thomas is still learning how to interact with people appropriately. He would do best in a home with other dogs as he seems to enjoy the company of canine friends and is able to learn a lot from them. He loves to play fetch and is learning how to play with other dogs. Thomas is crate trained and house trained. Thomas had a home and a family once. Unfortunately when a new baby came on the scene Thomas was dropped off at the pound. His coat had been neglected and our vet had to shave him down. It's growing back nicely now! An adult only home with no kids is a requirement for Thomas. Thomas is around 3 years old and weighs 10 lbs. Thomas 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.

REX: How adorable with those radar ears! He also has a cute nub tail that is in constant motion! Rex is a middle-aged gentleman that enjoys attention, love and his family but his favorite thing is to cuddle and he loves a comfy bed. His foster mom tells us: Rex is an easy well behaved little man. He is playful with toys, house trained, and loves walks. He will make a great companion for someone who likes walks but doesn’t want a high energy dog. And he is so cute! Only dog savvy cats for Rex - he will chase a cat if it runs.
He is just a small guy weighing 30 lbs and is an adult. Rex has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered. We are asking an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |

NOODLE STRUDEL: My goodness look here! Have you ever seen such a cutie! Unfortunately no matter how cute, Noodle found himself at the scary shelter. Of course, he wasn't a happy camper and his behavior wasn't the best so our rescue was asked to take him. Now he has settled into his foster home and is much happier! He does the cutest little dance when he begs for food! He gets on great with the other dogs in the home and is playful. One of his favorite things is to sit and look out the window watching the world go by. We are saying no kids for Noodle and he does need an owner who can show him who is boss as he does like to get his own way!
Noodle is a senior and weighs around 15 lbs. Noodle has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered. We are asking for a senior adoption donation of $250 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |
STITCH: (not available at this time) We understand that he was found as a stray and taken in by a family that looked for his owner and after a while, when they weren't successful, they took him to the pound. We don't know if they were thinking they would keep him but unfortunately no owner came to reclaim him. Maybe they had given up checking the shelter, we don't know. Stitch is now in a loving foster home and doing well but his coat has been badly neglected and he will need to be shaved before he can be made available for adoption.
Stitch will need an owner that is familiar with the spaniel breed and the regular grooming he will require.
Stitch is young, around a year and weighs in the region of 30 lbs.
Stitch has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.

SELENA ROLLMEZ: ADOPTED This beautiful girl certainly has a face to fall in love with! We certainly did when we met her! She is sweet, friendly, and amazingly cool! She is on the submissive side and when she is not sure what to do, she belly crawls! And belly rubs are her favorite - she will roll over if she thinks there is a chance you will pet her! She is playful and gentle on the leash tool Selena has a lovely soft coat, just right for snuggling!

ANDY SITBURG ADOPTED is sweet and friendly. A little on the shy side upon meeting. Give him a few minutes (and maybe some treats) and you are his best friend though. Andy's foster mom tells us: Andy is dog friendly and seems to enjoy having another dog in the house, but I think he would do fine on his own as well. He seems to want to play but he is currently a little afraid of the toys. I left one out to see if he would get used to it. He is timid, although he likes to be pet and does not seem to be afraid of people. He seems to have a medium energy level. He has plenty of energy for activities but he is not always running around in the house. Andy is very polite on the leash and does not pull, although he could use some leash training to walk straight and not get distracted, etc.
Andy is around 18 m old and weighs in the region of 40 lbs.
Andy has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.

GISELLE: ADOPTED At first glance you might have thought we had rescued an Ewok - but no this is GISELLE! Her foster mom tells us: Gisele could easily be a keeper. What a sweet soul. You can hardly tell she is in the house. I believe she is hard of hearing but she is always where there is food! She loves to just walk around the house and will plop down on the floor. House trained too and puts herself to bed at night in her doggie bed she sleeps in.
Giselle is a senior looking for a retirement home. She doesn't look to have had the best of care in her life and needed extra vetting including a dental, and eye exam. Her adopter will have access to her vet notes before adoption. She receives daily eye drops and there has been improvement while in our care, but she will need to get follow up exams.
Giselle is a senior weighing just 12 lbs.
Giselle has a senior adoption donation of $250.

SHASTA: ADOPTED Animal control asked us if we could please take Shasta. She was very scared at the shelter and could not be made available for adoption. Rescue was her only way out.
The shelter told us that she loves other dogs and feels comfortable with them, but very shy around people. Of course, the shelter is a scary place and very overwhelming for many dogs.
Now Shasta is in a foster home and she is beginning to relax a little but she is going to need an experienced owner that will help her to gain confidence. Another dog is a requirement.
We think Shasta is around two years old and she weighs in the region of 35 lbs
Shasta has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed.

RASHIDA BONES: ADOPTED This beautiful girl caught our eyes right away on a recent visit to the shelter! We were smitten with her and when we realized she had a matching personality, she was invited to join our rescue. She is as sweet as pecan pie and loved getting attention from our volunteers.
Her foster mom tells us: Rashida is such a sweet girl! She definitely has that puppy energy. She loves to play fetch, run around, chew on bones and give puppy kisses. She is doing great on the leash as well as running freely in the backyard. Rashida loves kids and other dogs, she's already made friends with some of the neighbors.
Rashida was picked up by Animal Control with Steve Pawrell running loose and having fun. We think they are siblings - both are short and stout and irresistible!

ANNIE MAY: ADOPTED 3 yrs, 43 lbs
ANNIE is a gorgeous hound girl that went walkabout and ended up at the pound. She presented as a little on the timid side when our volunteers met her but was sweet and friendly. Just overwhelmed in the loud and noisy animal control. Annie needs an owner that will be patient as she adjusts to her new situation. Look past her initial shyness and soon she will be showing her sweet and affectionate side! She has a super soft coat and sad eyes that will melt your heart. You can't help but fall in love! Annie has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed.

GWEN STEFURNI ADOPTED is her name and FUN is her game! She loves chewies and toys and running around the fenced yard with the other dogs at her foster home. She walks on leash and is curious about everything. She has great obedience potential and the scruffiest beard! She has been good with the dogs and cats in her foster home and seems to have the groundwork for housebreaking. She settles in her crate when left home. Her teeth are sparkly white- so she’s on the younger side and has been happy to meet people of all sorts. Because she was initially very shy at the animal control, we would prefer she go to a home with older children.
Gwen is around a year old and weighs in the region of 30 lbs.
