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.

NEIL DIGMOND If you want a sidekick who is adorable, curious and friendly and wants to have all the adventures with you, Neil is your guy! He would love to have playmates, human and / or dog. He is very food motivated and already learned sit, come and down commands. He's a go-with-the-flow kind of guy looking for a family that can give a serious snuggle. Neil is very happy playing and lounging with children as well as adults.
He is around 5-6 months old and weighs around 25 lbs, but of course has some growing to do. There is no information on his parents, so we can't make a guess as to size when he is fully grown. Neil 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. |

MILA stole the hearts of our volunteers when they met her- She has the cutest little nub tail that wiggles as soon as she sees you and it takes her whole body along with it! It's so cute! Mila is a perfect example of a 'Georgia Brown Dog', such a sweet and humble girl who loves to be pet. Her foster mom says, "Mila is good with people (including strangers), children, and others dogs, but prefers ones that are her size. She is doing well with house training and loves to ride in the car." A home without cats or small dogs would help set her up for success! We think she will be an amazing companion for the right family!
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. |
KEKE is a young gal who has the most beautiful coloring and soft, silky ears. She certainly is just stunning! She enjoys other dogs, is learning how to walk on a leash and potty training is going well! Keke is so happy to meet everyone - no shy wallflower is Keke! She would be a great match for a family who understands all aspects of training a puppy, as it's obvious her previous family hasn't taken the time to teach her anything. We think that she probably followed her cute hound dog nose and became lost as she came into the shelter as a stray. Keke has long legs and it's fun to watch her prance around like a young deer!
She is a sweet puppy with lots of love to give. Her perfect match would be a family with children - her foster home has kids of all ages and she adores playing with them! Keke is around 4 months old and weighs 26 lbs. Keke has received age appropriate vaccinations (will need more), 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. |

LUNA After a little TLC, Luna is looking and feeling like royalty! What a gorgeous girl! Our volunteers first rescued Luna when she covered in all kinds of muck and matted fur at animal control. Luna is a sweet girl, very friendly and well socialized. She is happy to make friends with everyone. Her foster mom says she is settling in fine, sleeps in the crate quietly overnight but does whine a little when she has to be crated while she runs errands.
We were told that Luna is used to having a constant companion at home as her previous owner was disabled. We think an adult only (or with older children) family that is home a lot would be best for Luna as she adjusts to her new life. We don't know her breed but clearly she is a spitz-type mix and her coat will need some regular grooming. Luna is young, around 18 months and weighs in the region of 30 lbs. Luna 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. |

MAX recently came North with his sister, Jonnie (adopted), and is just waiting to find his forever family and be chosen! - His dream home would let him be the fun adventurous guy he is but also chill at home and louge when its time to relax.
His foster mom says, "Max loves to be a lap dog, gives lots of kisses, would love another dog and/or kids to play with! He loves everyone! Max eats anything I give him- like carrots, sugar snap peas, cut up apple, banana and more!" Max is about 6 months old and around 20lbs but still has some growing to do. Max 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. |
OAKLEAF has a love affair with feet! He is definitely a one of kind gentleman and has spent some time in foster care learning the ropes, but is now ready to look for his forever home! Oakleaf first started to bond with his foster parents by rubbing against their feet for attention. He is still learning that hands are safe too but would much rather roll around on the floor playing with your feet! Bare foot or socks on, he loves to nibble on toes and could play all day with his person’s feet! Oakleaf would do best in a home without children and in an environment where he can keep his preferred “inner circle” of people small. It will take him time to adjust to this new life, as he’s been clearly shown in his past life that hands can’t be trusted. He would do best in a home with at least one other dog, as he is learning alot from his foster siblings.
Oakleaf is about 3 years old and 9lbs, he 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 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. |

CHERRY 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. |
HASHBROWN is a petite little cutie that was very lucky to get scooped by PPR, as she was in very neglected state, both physically and mentally when rescued. Volunteers worked with her and had her matted coat shaved so she could look and feel her best. She will need an understanding and patient owner to help her gain the confidence and skills needed to thive- as the heart is a little harder to clean up than the coat. Hashbrown enjoys the company of other dogs and learns alot of her canine companions. We think its important that she has a doggy sibiling in her forever home to help show her the ropes. Hashbrown recently started taking training classes with her foster mom and is doing well in school. A forever family that is comfortable with picking up and continuing the training established with her foster would help her feel the most comfortable and safe during the transition. Hashbrown is a young adult, around 1-3 years old and 15-20lbs- she 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.

Our Stunning "Seniors"
|
MAN MAN may just be the cutest best friend you having been waiting for! He shadows his person and quietly follows them from room to room, if you catch his eye, he hops in the air to give the gentlest kisses and sometimes a gentle nibble on the tip of your nose! His foster mom says "he is definitely going to be someone's baby!" Man Man is in his "sweet spot" age-wise for his breed and still has plenty of energy for walks and zoomies but also appreciates a good nap. He would do best in a forever home without very young children or with older children that have been around dogs. Man Man is around 7 years old (an active "senior"- and considered middle aged for his breed) and weighs 12bs. He has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.
We are asking for an adoption donation of $250 for Man Man to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |

JAX EARSLEY was all ears when we told him we would help find him a new family! What can we say, he was simply EAR-ristible! Jax was previously adopted from the shelter, but years later his family decided they just didn’t have time for him anymore, so sad!
His foster parents tell us that Mr. Jax Earsley is a wise kind older gentleman, who appreciates the finer things in life, like soft food, cuddles, & a soft blanket to sleep under with his favorite people. He likes to be outside and explore. He enjoys laying in the sun until he needs the A.C. He takes a little time to warm up, but he has the cutest lil butt & tail wag. 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 walk and playtime 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. |

SYCAMORE & BANTU
are two darling girls 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 is about 6 years old and weighs only 6lbs, Bantu is about 7 years old and weighs 10lbs. They are clearly bonded to each other and we think its essential they are adopted togther. 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.

His foster mom says, "Jack is a true lover, if given his choice, he would never leave your side. He is crate trained and house trained, and love to play with his foster siblings of all sizes."

She will be a wonderful addition to any family!" Maisie was picked up as a stray but likely had a home at one point as she was already spayed and micochipped.
