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.

LEAF is a very handsome pup that is smart and ready to learn whatever his new home can teach him! He is easy going and ready to take on the world. He is looking to join a fun family that has the time and understands the responsibility of bringing home an older pup that hasn't had much guidance in his young life. His foster mom says: Leaf is such a goofy puppy!!! And an absolute love! He brings us so much joy everyday! He has the sweetest personality and is incredibly smart, easy going and playful with my dogs. Leaf found himself at Animal Control along with his siblings who all got adopted. He came from a home where he got no training and minimal supervision. His new owner should have a plan in place for training as this little guy missed out on puppy kindergarten. A fenced in yard would be good but not a requirement. Leaf is around 9 months old and weighs 50 lbs. He has some more growing to do, of course so his adopters need to be aware he will be a big dog and will need training. Leaf 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. |

JOAN PAWFORD is just the cutest and sweetest girl around! She is very loving, happy and friendly! Joan loves, loves, loves treats and is happy to sit for them! She is playful and loves her toys! She may be an older girl, but with her 'frosting' maybe that is making her look older than she is! Joan has the typical 'terrier' personality, and people that love their terriers will know exactly what that means! She can be bossy with her doggie and kitty housemates and may be happier being an only pet.
The shelter aged her at 8, but we don't really know. She certainly doesn't act like a 'senior'. Joan weighs 11 lbs. Joan has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed. We are asking for a grey muzzle adoption donation of $250. |

Meet ALEX ROLLRIGUEZ! You are not going to meet a happier guy, we promise you that! Alex Rollriguez was quite the show off when our volunteers met him.. from running around with other doggy friends to insisting on big doggy hugs, we just loved this big goofy boy! Alex is a pup that is full of energy and playfulness. He loves to run around, play and have fun. He could learn some leash manners but seriously - this sweet boy will make someone really happy, as long as they spend some time and train him. Alex is now in a foster home and is having fun playing with the resident dogs. Alex came in to the shelter as a stray and everyone was shocked his family didn’t come find him! Obviously his previous family didn't realize what a gem he is. But their loss could be your gain if you are the lucky family that get's to take him home!
Alex is estimated at maybe a year old and weighs in the region of 80lbs. Alex 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 associated with caring for our rescue pets. |

TIKKI is looking for a new family to love! Tikki's previous family surrendered him to our rescue as they were not able to provide the right environment for him. With 5 kids in the house, it was just too busy and poor Tikki spent most of his time hiding behind the couch. He also got nippy with the kids when they tried to get him to come out and play. Tikki's owner said he was sweet and happy until the kids came to stay. Tikki is settling in nicely now he is in a foster home, and loves his foster mom!
No young kids for Tikki please. Tikki is around 2 years old and weighs 18 lbs. Tikki 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. |

AJAY is a young lad with such expressive eyes! How could you ever walk by the boy in a kennel and not stop dead in your tracks!?! We know we couldn't! Unfortunately many black dogs get overlooked at the shelter. When our volunteers took Ajay out to the play yard, he dazzled and was just so happy go lucky! Now in a foster home, his family tell us: Ajay seems to love the outdoors and snow. He is playful. Likes to play fetch. Has the energy and characteristics of a puppy. Sleeps through the night. Would benefit from a front harness on walks. He knows sit and is progressing on lay down. He enjoys snuggling and is very happy to greet you when you come home.
Ajay is quite handsome but he could use some good nutrition and to put a little extra meat on his bones. Check out those adorable ears! Ajay is young, around a year old and weighs 46 lbs at present. Ajay 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. |

JOHNNY and ROCKY are two precious little guys that are looking for a new family. They were headed to the shelter but luckily we were able to intercept them before they were surrendered as that would have been a scary experience for these little ones. Rocky is Johnny's dad and their owner told us they do like to hang out and snuggle together. Their family clearly loved these boys but were unable to care for them anymore and wanted the best for them. Both are friendly pups, but Johnny is a little shy around new people.
Rocky is around 6 years old and weighs in the region of 15 lbs Johnny is around a year old and weighs in the region of 12 lbs. Both have been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered. They can be adopted together for an adoption donation of $500. |

Say ‘Hey MINKI!’ This approximately 3yr old little girl found herself homeless due to assisted living rules. She’s very sweet and has a delightful overbite. Apart from needing a nail trim, she’s in good health and is pretty cute. She gets along well with dogs - she will harass cats who let her do it, but the cats in her foster home are in no danger from her. She is good in the crate, will go outside to use the bathroom, loves going on walks and wants to sleep under the covers with you. She’s a sweetheart!
Minki weighs around 15 lbs but she needs to lose a couple of pounds!
Minki has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed.

WALTER PAWIN: Please read before applying. Walter has specific needs in his new home. Walter has spent time in a foster home so we could best determine the right kind of situation for him.
Walter is a very mellow man looking for a special home that will understand his needs. His foster mom tells us: Typically, Walter asks for lots of space to feel comfortable. Though you will know when he is ready for attention because he will sit at your feet, flop over, and ask for belly rubs! When he needs his space, he’s just as obvious about his wants. Walter would do best with a strong leader that is good at enforcing boundaries. He is crate and house trained and walks well on a leash. He is dog friendly. Walter is adorable, the cute factor is off the charts - and he has had a lot of interest. BUT to set Walter up for success, he needs an experienced owner with no kids. If you are interested in Walter, send in your application and we can put you in touch with his foster family to get more information on what kind of home would suit him best. The shelter aged Walter around 9 years old, but we think he may be younger, and he weighs 16 lbs. Walter 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. |

ROSA BARKS is not available for adoption at this time is just the sweetest little pumpkin once she gets to know you. Her foster mom tells us: Once over her initial shyness, Rosa blossoms into a super playful little dog. She has plenty of energy! I’m not sure she is a senior! She walks on a leash but prefers to run and play in the yard. She is great with other dogs and like most chihuahuas has no fear of putting a dog many times her size in his place. She is learning to go potty outside but sleeps through the night in her humans bed without accidents. She would love a family that enjoys playing with her or has another dog for companionship.
We have Rosa listed as a senior though she certainly doesn't act it and weighs approx 10 lbs. Rosa has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heartworm tested negative and spayed. We are asking for a senior adoption donation of $250. |

SIR PRANCE A LOT! ADOPTED This little guy found himself at Animal Control after he was picked up as a stray. We don't know why he decided to leave home or why his owner didn't come to look for him, but we do know we will find him a loving new family that will spoil him so he never wants to leave again.
His foster mom says: He is playful but loves to lap snuggle too. He is pretty much house trained. Doesn’t bark unless someone comes to door and is pretty well mannered.
Sir Prance A Lot is young, around a year old and he weighs 10 lbs.

DWAYNE PAWSON - ADOPTED is a friendly little guy but he can be a little on the shy side. He is the kind of pup who, once he warms up, becomes your best friend. He will love to lay by your side and sometimes on your lap but that is okay as he has a long body and shorty legs. Dwayne is very handsome hound mix with a beautiful tri colored coat. His foster mom says he is crate and house trained - will sleep in his crate at night. Dwayne takes treats gently. Give him a bone to chew on and he will be content. He is a very playful and friendly pup and gets along with his foster mom’s dogs. He still has some puppy in him and will need a patient owner.
Dwayne is around 18 months old and weighs in the region of 30 lbs.
Dwayne has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.

HAYLEE SITFELD ADOPTED! is a pretty and playful pup that loves a good time! She has the softest fur, just like a teddy bear! Haylee is a very friendly girl, gives the best kisses and is going to make a great family dog. She has plenty of energy and her favorite thing to do is to get the zoomies! It's so funny to watch! She can amuse herself with a ball too - tossing it in the air and then running after it, over and over again! She doesn't look to have any hound in her but her nose is to the ground on walks so who knows! Unfortunately Haylee was picked up as a stray and it's obvious she has not had much structure in her life, and no one has spent any time teaching her any manners. Her new family will need to start from scratch, teaching her all the things she needs to know. She has learned to walk on a leash at her foster home and seems to be crate trained. She is eager to learn more!
Haylee is around 7 months old and weighs 30 lbs.

TRIXIE ADOPTEDis a sweet girl that is new to our rescue. She was scared at Animal Control and the staff asked us to please take her as she just spent her time shaking in her kennel. Trixie had a family, but they decided they had no time for her and brought her to that scary place. Trixie has been in boarding before she transports to NY and so we don't have a lot of information on her, other than she is certainly adorable! We will update her bio once she settles in her foster home and can let you know then what kind of home would suit her best!

ZOEY DIGCHANEL ADOPTED is a cute 'sausage' dog! She is adorable with her shortie little legs. Look at those puppy dog eyes! Look at those ears! Zoey was not a happy camper after her owner dropped her off at the shelter and she was not made available for adoption as she was so scared. Another dog that we know just needs to get out of that scary situation and into a home situation. We will update her bio once she gets into a foster home.

GIGI PAWDID - ADOPTED is looking for a family that has a ❤️ for the seniors. It is so hard to see them at animal control confused as to why they are now in a cold kennel sleeping on the concrete floor. Gigi became urgent when the shelter exhausted all efforts to find a local rescue and so our volunteers rushed to pick her up - we couldn't accept her life would end there. Gigi's vetting has been updated, including a senior blood panel. We suspect some age related hearing loss and foster mom says she gets up stairs with assistance, but needs help coming down. She’s good with other dogs, doesn’t even look at the cats and enjoys treats from the kids. She’s potty trained and barks when she wants to go out. Gigi was surrendered to animal control after her daddy passed along with two other dogs that were rescued locally in GA. She is looking for a nice comfortable retirement home, lots of loving and spoiling, and a nice warm bed.
Gigi weighs 40 lbs and is a senior. Gigi 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 of caring for our rescue pets. |

REX! ADOPTED Got TOYS? Well that's good as REX is obsessed with TOYS of all kinds! He loves to play fetch or will just amuse himself with a good chew toy! And if you don't have toys, then be prepared you will need to stock up! Rex is a calm, middle aged pup looking for a quiet home. He is very sweet and affectionate, and would love to sit at your feet or go on a stroll around the block. He needs consistent boundaries to thrive, and he would love to attend a structured training class with his new people. Rex currently lives with other dogs and enjoys their company. Children are a little confusing for Rex so home without young kids around would be best. He is crate trained and house trained.
We think Rex is around 7 years old and he weighs in the region of 25 lbs. Rex 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. |
Beau
Bella

BEAU and BELLA ADOPTED are a pair like no other, round, happy and fun to be around. This middle aged duo found themselves abandoned at Animal Control after their owner passed away and no family member was able to step up and take them in. We saw their tail wagging adorableness on a video and made sure these two were out of harm's way. Beau and Bella are sweet, and are definitely used to car rides and walks. They can stand to loose a few pounds (Bella more so than Beau). They can be adopted separately, but if anyone would like to adopt both, we would be overjoyed for them.
Both are around 6 years old, Beau weighs 55 lbs, and Bella is a very chunky overweight 70 lbs. Bella and Beau have been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed/neutered. We are asking for an adoption donation of $250 each dog or $350 for the pair. |
FRANKLIN D ROLLSEVELT ADOPTED is ready to find his new family! His foster mom tells us: Franklin is a great dog. Someone will be very lucky to take him home! . He is a very chill dog, he doesn’t play much and loves to snuggle on your lap. He sleeps quietly in his crate at night though probably would be happy to sleep on your bed too. He rides well in the car and loves to accompany you when you go out to take care of errands. Unfortunately his previous family didn't keep him on monthly heart worm prevention and surrendered him to the shelter. That was a good thing for Franklin as he has now received treatment.
Franklin is around 2 years old and weighs in the region of 15 lbs.
Franklin has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested/treated and neutered.

KATE SHAKELTON ADOPTED is a fun loving, tail wagging, kind of gal. BUT you have to get to know her first. Kate can present as shy when meeting new people so her new family should be patient as she settles in. Then they will be rewarded with a sweet girl that walks well on a leash with a happy hop in her step which is so cute to watch. She has a pretty black/brown/merle looking coat! Adorable!
Kate's foster mom tells us: Kate is a real dream companion dog with so many good qualities. Another friendly, playful dog in the house would be good to help Kate with her confidence. Kate has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed. Kate is a young adult around 3 years old and weighs 39 lbs.
