Dogs available for Adoption in New York
All dogs are in loving foster homes in the Hudson Valley area.
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.
APPROVED applicants can meet and take home dogs from our adoption events - Check events page for details.
THANK YOU!

CRISPIN
What a handsome guy! You can't help but think how cute he is with his fluffy coat! He is darling but he can be a little stand offish with new people and it's important to go slow until he feels comfortable with you. Crispin is not for the first time dog owner Looks like he had been spoiled in his previous life and he needs a strong pack leader that will teach him boundaries. He was fostered in a quiet home and did just great! They loved him. For this reason we are saying no kids - he gets too excited. Crispin loves other dogs and to play with his doggie friends so another dog or two in the home would be ideal. Crispin so enjoys the colder weather and just had a ball in his first snowfall since leaving Georgia. Crispin LOVES belly rubs as you can see! Crispin is a young adult, we think around 2 - 3 years old and weighs 25 lbs. Crispin has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested/treated and neutered We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets. |
MISSY is a beautiful girl with a glowing personality. She loves people just as much as she loves her foster siblings.
Missy spent her puppyhood in a rural shelter and didn’t get the opportunity to learn important manners. Luckily she is such a smart girl, that with a few weeks of training she caught right on! Missy is looking for a home that can continue to help her succeed! This girl has plenty of energy and would make a great running partner or friend for another large dog in the family. She is still learning to be calm around kids, so in her perfect home, no young children would be best. Missy is young, under a year old and weighs around 45 lbs. If you are interested in adopting her, apply today! Missy 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. |

PUDDING! look at those beautiful eyes! Such a sweet soul who is looking for her special someone.
Pudding has been in foster for a while now and hasn't found her new family as she doesn't show well at the first meeting. It's frustrating as once she gets to know you, she's awesome! This is what her foster mom tells us: Pudding is completely house trained, is quiet in her crate, not food aggressive. Knows sit and come (well sometimes). Pudding loves to cuddle and gives the best kisses. She loves her toys, belly rubs and back scratches. We have a large fenced in yard and she loves to run around. She plays with my two dogs (smaller) and they all sleep together - she has not been around cats. Pudding is looking for a new owner that will be patient with her and know that once she gets comfortable, you will be rewarded with an awesome companion. Her foster family are working with her on introductions but she will need an owner dedicated to continue her training. She is a little on the chunky side. She likes her food - what can we say! Pudding is around a year old and weighs 50 lbs. Pudding 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. |

ISABELLE - I like to take my relationships slow...you would too if you’d had your whole world mixed up and been so confused! But I’m worth the extra time- can’t you see the smile that goes all the way to my eyes. Might have some dachshund, some beagle...whatever. It doesn’t matter what’s in my background- I need to look to the future! No kids at the moment please, but I’m great with dogs and cats. I’m not a fan of crating, but can stay in one, as long as it is sturdy.
I might not feel love at first sight, but give me time to love you and I am as loyal as they come! Isabelle is around 2 years old and weighs approx. 20 lbs. Isabelle has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested/treated and spayed.

ZEKE! Look at this handsome lad! He is absolutely stunning with his brindle colored coat! His ears are soft and silky and he has a cute little half tail. He certainly turns heads wherever he goes. He has a lovely, happy personality to match too! He is friendly to everyone, and he quickly became a staff favorite during his stay at Animal Control.
Zeke's foster mom loves him and says he does well with her dogs and is a joy to have as a houseguest. He is also a great snuggler and believes his mission in life is to be a lap dog! Zeke is a young adult and weighs around 39 lbs. Zeke 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. |

RECENT ADOPTIONS!
Fancy
Poppy

FANCY and
POPPY both ADOPTED: We think they are mother and daughter. They are both sweet and friendly. Love to be pet and of course, they are both absolutely adorable! Poppy has plenty of energy and would do well in an active home. She loves to run and play, and is super smart. Her previous owner even said she might be a good candidate for a sports dog. They both lived with other dogs, but they are not bonded and we know they would enjoy being spoiled in separate homes! We think Fancy is around 8 years old and she weighs 18 lbs. Fancy has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative, had a dental, and is spayed. We think Poppy is around 6 years, and she weighs in at 22 lbs. Poppy has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative, and is spayed. We are asking for an adoption donation of $380 for each dog to help with the costs involved with caring for our rescue pets |
GRETEL - ADOPTED is sweet but can be shy on first meeting! It's understandable - life has been a bit hectic for this poor baby recently. But that she is alive is wonderful. She was adopted from Animal Control but became very sick and her new owner took her to the vet. It was the nasty virus parvo and unfortunately the treatment was going to be very expensive with no guarantee of a good outcome. Luckily our vet started treatment, called us and well Gretel was a lucky girl and recovered. Her foster mom just loves her, says she is a snuggle bug and good with other dogs.
Gretel is around 6 months old and weighs 7 lbs.

DAVIE - ADOPTED is a cute little guy! He presents as shy upon first meeting so he will need a patient owner that can give him a little time to settle and show his true loving personality. He lived with several other dogs and so we think another confident dog in the family would help him make the adjustment into his new home.
His previous owner told us that he was born to a Chinese Crested mother and he does have fur.
Davie has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative, had a teeth cleaning and is neutered.
We think he is around 5 years and he weighs 15 lbs.

KARMA - ADOPTED Everyone needs a little good Karma in their lives. There is no easier way to achieve that then by adopting this little sweet girl. Karma has TONS of love to give. She is smart too; already mastering Sit, Stay, Paw and many other commands. She does her business outside and sleeps all night in her crate. She is a perfect medium size and has the prettiest red coat. Karma gets along great with other dogs and everyone she meets including kids. She wants nothing more than to please her human and receive praise and love for being such a good girl. She's loving, sweet and snuggly - oh and she doesn't bother kitties either! Karma would do best in a home with another dog and would be perfect for a family where someone is home a lot to keep her company.
Karma is around a year old and weighs 43 lbs. Karma 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. |
WINTERBERRY - ADOPTED is a precious little girl who went wandering and couldn't find her way back home. She is just too adorable for words with shortie little legs, no tail and the saddest eyes you have ever seen! She is so sweet and our volunteers fell in love with her the minute they met her!

BRAVO ADOPTED is a darling guy, super sweet and friendly and ready to be your BFF! He lived with several other dogs, is good with cats and would be fine in a home either with doggie friends or as an only dog. He doesn't mind as long as there is someone with a lap for him to sit on! He is a real fun boy!
Bravo is a senior, we think around 10 years, but he certainly doesn't present as a dog needing a retirement home - he has plenty of pep in his step as they say and is ready to accompany you on your daily errands. He rides well in the car and loves to make new friends! Probably will take ages to do your errands as he will want to meet all your neighbors! He weighs 13 lbs. Bravo has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative, has had a dental and he is neutered. Bravo qualifies for a senior adoption donation of $250 to help with the costs of caring for rescue pets. |
OZZY PAWSBORNE - ADOPTED is AWESOME! He's a smiley boy with a tail that is always wagging. In fact it would make a great fan in the summer months! Foster mom says he's a total sweetheart. He loves, loves, loves to play with his squeaky toys and his doggie friends. He's a toy collector and will bring all the toys/bones back to his crate! He is crate trained and walks well on a leash. He does need a little training in the manners department as he can be jumpy in his excitement to say hello to everyone. He has learned to sit and his foster mom says he is very treat motivated and smart. A training class would be fun for Ozzy and his new family as he would be a star pupil! He is so eager to please his people! Ozzie found himself in the pound when his owner passed away. He tested positive for heart worms (which have now been treated) and he was very skinny with all his ribs showing. He needed rescue and luckily for Ozzy, a volunteer fell in love with him and so we were able to save him.
Ozzie is around 2 - 3 years old and weighs approx. 40 lbs.
Ozzie has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested/treated and neutered.

He loves to be pet, is good with other dogs, big and small, and very playful with his toys. Just an awesome pup.

ALFRED VON WIGGLEBOTTOM - ADOPTED is a love bug who can make the dreariest of days bright again!
Alfred is a gentle, snuggly, roly poly boy! He is sweet and friendly, and did great with the dogs he has met.
He has a wrinkly little face and his soft shiny fur matches his personality. We met him at the shelter and it was instant love. Alfred melted in our arms and he immediately earned himself a spot in the rescue! He loves to be pet and enjoys a good butt scratch! Is this sweet boy the one for you?
Alfred is about 7 months old according to our vet and 17lbs.

LEO ADOPTED is an absolute charmer! We think he looks like 'Tramp' from the Lady & the Tramp movie! He is star quality for sure! From his adorable scruffy face to his beaming personality, we know Leo is going to steal hearts! Poor Leo ended up at the pound with a broken pelvis and heartworm positive, but luckily a foster offer helped us save him! His foster parents tell us that Leo has been a perfect house guest and he is adored! Leo loves dogs of all sizes, cats and children. He enjoys a good toy he can de-fluff and bones to chew on. He's a snuggler and wanna be lap dog! Housetrained too.
Leo is about 30lbs and our vet said only 2 years old.

DAISY ADOPTED is an incredibly gorgeous girl with a sweet and gentle heart. She spent a lot of time being overlooked in the shelter so she is initially fearful and skittish since she didn’t have much interaction with people. Daisy loves the play, cuddles, and confidence another dog gives so she will need to go with another dog in the house. She is beginning to understand humans bring love! She will need an owner that will be patient as she adjusts to her new life! Once she realizes how good life can be, we know she will blossom!
We think she is around a year old and weighs about 40 lbs

HOLLY BERRY ADOPTED is looking for a new family! Holly Berry is everything!!! Her tail never stops wagging, she's a happy girl. Foster mom tells us: Holly is gorgeous! Sweet, cuddly, sleeps through the night on her dog bed but will hang out in her crate if asked. Housetrained. Gets on fine with our dogs, both big and small. We don't have cats but would imagine she would do fine. She has plenty of energy, certainly not a 'senior' dog and loves to run and play in the yard. Holly Berry has quite a sad story; her elderly owner was unable to care for her properly and made the heart wrenching decision to surrender her to the shelter in hopes that she could find a family that could. She was clearly very loved however, she had an old unaddressed hematoma which gives her the now adorable ear up and one ear down look. It doesn't bother her and there is nothing to be done about it.
Holly Berry is about 5 - 6 years old and weighs 44 lbs. Holly has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and spayed. With a dash of 'frosting' Holly qualifies for our Grey Muzzle adoption donation of $250. |
Putt Putt ADOPTED is such a cutie patootie! His foster mom tells us he is fabulous and she is really enjoying having him stay until his new family finds him! He's adorable and very well behaved but shy when he firsts meets new people. Handsome, playful and lovable and a great lap warmer! He likes to play with everybody - cats and dogs. Loves stuffed and squeaky toys. Very polite when waiting for his meals sits and waits for it to be put on the floor. You will have a friend forever that will cuddle in your lap. No young kids for Putt Putt please.
He is a young adult, and weighs 12 lbs.
Putt Putt has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.

Christmas Puppies! ALL ADOPTED Noel is their mom and she is around 15 lbs - of course we have no information on dad (or daddies). Names in pink are females, blue for the males. Noel came to the shelter with a broken pelvis, heart worm positive and pregnant. A loving foster home gave her a safe place to heal and have her babies. Her heart worms were also treated of course. Noel's puppies have known love from the minute they were born and will never suffer like their mom. Good with other dogs, kids and even a pet pig.

SANTA PAWS ADOPTED was dropped off at the shelter by his owner who said he was not getting along with the kids in the home. We obviously are not sure of the circumstances but our vet discovered Santa was suffering from ear infections and so we are wondering if maybe he was in pain from them and didn't want to be pet or bothered by little kids. It does seem he can be selective with his human friends and we think a quieter home without children would suit him best. An owner that will commit to training and the right environment and we think he will do well! He was friendly to our volunteers at the shelter and wanted to sit on laps so we decided to bring him into the rescue.
Santa is young, we think around 6 months
Santa has been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, heart worm tested negative and neutered.
