My story

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

BON JOVI - 8 months, 38lbs, Collie/Shep Mix, Neutered



Expected to be about 40lbs full grown 



PLEASE NOTE: This dogs needs to be in calm part of the city or beyond (burbs,etc). Does not do well in highly populated parts of the city. 



This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org



His Foster Parents Say: "As the house of misfits where the dogs who don't have foster offers end up: it's not unusual for us to have last minute guests. Bon Jovi ended up with our crew during Thanksgiving due to having nowhere else to go. And we're not complaining. We could foster this dog for another 20 years. He's the perfect houseguest - survived a hectic:Thanksgiving break with 2 cats, 2 small delicate senior dogs we were house sitting and my own dog that was having some unexpected serious health issues. Through all of this - he was NO bother. He's the sweetest soul alive - so amazingly gentle - great with dogs of all kinds, good with cats. He's housetrained, fine home alone, not super high energy (down for a hike but doesn't require one every day). He's recently really found his comfort level/joy with being in BK - he now gets the zoomies outside and is curious to say hi to other people and dogs. When he's feeling happy he has the MOST adorable and goofy body language. We get so many people who are looking for a dog that is good with kids, cats and dogs - and so many times we have to say sorry we don't have the right fit for you. This is your chance, this is your boy. Heart of gold, no mean bones in his body. Just needs time to get used to you and does not want to live in a super busy area. He loves his toys - he likes to de-stuff them and is a big fan of bones. He's so good at sharing - to the point where he's let the cats have a bite of his food (they know weakness). The only minor annoying habit of his is that he is more prone to chewing on clothes if you leave them on the floor - but an easy fix - just don't leave them on the floor. He doesn't know any commands yet and yet he's still super well behaved. Just a perfect piece of doggie mold that you can sculpt into a masterpiece. We're obsessed and actually going to miss him once he leaves (we don't say this about all of our houseguests)!"

How is the dog's cuddle bug level
Medium -- Likes to snuggle when he's inthe mood but often stays in his own bed

Is the dog potty trained? (Indoors, if the dog cannot go outdoors)
Yes -- Few or no accidents inside

Comfy with strangers?
Gettng more brave everyday -- Fine with meeting new peoplebut not particularly interested, kind ofshy in busy social situations like agathering or a packed day in the park.

Comfortable with Children? (ALWAYS requires supervision) 
8 and up -- Very very gentle dog but might get spooked by tiny kids 

Social with Other Dogs? 
Yes -- Good with all other dogs (sizes,breeds, etc.) as far as we know andenjoys socializing with other canines. Currently in a foster home with a dog. 

Respectful of Other Animals? (cats, small pets, etc.) 
Yes -- great with cats 

Mouthy Behavior? 
Lower  –pretty respectful just don't leave your clothes on the floor 

Leash Manners? 
Getting the Hang of it – Probably hasn’tbeen on a leash much in its life but he/she is figuring it out. Might be a mild puller but responds to correction

Okay in the city? 
Needs Home In Calm Area - not a fit for the busy city life. Would do best out of the city or in a truly calm part of the city that has access to greenspace 

Jumping on People to Say Hi? 
Low – Doesn’t jump up on people ordogs. Always all four on the floor.

Separation Anxiety? (Please be sure to leave your foster dog home alone every single day for at least 20 minutes.) 
Nope– fine being home alone 

Crate training? 
Yep/mostly – Seems comfortable in thecrate, may whine a little at first butsettles pretty quickly. We use the cratewhen we leave the pup alone and/or atnight.



Medical status:
Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines (for dogs under 4 months old, adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age), spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon

How this dog ended up with Social Tees:
Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee or St. Thomas. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives. 



PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses though! 



This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes.
