My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Penelope is a classic Yorkie — beautiful, affectionate and energetic. She has a gorgeous, shiny coat, perky little ears, and loves to roll around and play.
Born 4/18/2011, she came to us struggling with severe allergies but is now thriving on a strict nutrition plan. She needs an experienced guardian who will stick with the program we’ve created for her, including a particular diet and medication schedule. She would make an ideal city dog and would prefer a home where she would be the only pet.

We really appreciate your wanting to give a shelter animal a home. The Humane Society of New York was founded in 1904.

We offer FREE Vet care for the first 3 weeks after adoption. We also have a great adoption matchmaker who will gladly take your profile and match you or your pet with just the right cat or dog companion. Please feel free to submit your application!
