Story
I adopted Peaches in Brooklyn in 2022! A friend was fostering her after her previous owners experienced a house fire. I believe she was living with her dad and brother. We think she's 10, and she's about 7ish pounds. She is a sweetheart, just incredibly anxious, and hates to be left alone. I'd recommend her new owner to be someone retired or who works from home or can invest some time in training her a bit more than we were able to. When I adopted her she had just had the majority of her teeth removed as well. She has about 3 in the back. I think the experience made her a little weird with other dogs. She loves people though. ❤️ She's an old lady, but goofy and playful when she feels safe. Loves to cuddle and nap. We love her and will miss her a ton, but unfortunately, her anxiety is more than I can manage right now with an 18-month-old in the house with special needs.

Story
We had our dog for three years ever since he was a pup; he was a gift to my sister and he wasn’t really being taken care of by her so I took him in my care. He might have some time to get used to the place as well as the people there, especially men since he was abused by men from our family and I try to protect him as much as I could. He is very clingy when he likes someone and will invade their space completely no matter what. He isn’t properly trained so he might pee around the house; so I hope you can train him well to not use the bathroom in the house. We are being kicked out of our home and I don’t want my dog to suffer as he is anymore so I will give him up in exchange that the owner will check up with me so that I would not worry for my baby boy; I hope you can take care of him & relive him from his trauma and I hope he could have a better life in a new home than with me.

Story
Bella is a purebred deer head Chihuahua. She is extremely snuggly and sweet and loves to borrow underneath blankets. She is full of joy, loves walking around the city, playing fetch, she has a soft spot for cats. I think she may have been raised with cats before I adopted her. She just absolutely loves to be loved! She is four years old and a perfect companion for someone that works from home. She will sit on your lap and snuggle you for hours.

Story
Mona is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey, and then we can set up a phone call or meet and greet with the foster! Mona is: Spayed: Yes! Up to date on vaccines: Yes! Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized - A senior gal who has cataracts, some missing teeth, and a small lump in her mammary gland. Her adopter should follow up on these items with their private vet. More about Mona: Housebroken: Yes! Crate trained: She has done well with free roam overnight and when home alone, and has also been crated when home alone though can sometimes bark a bit in her crate Leash walking: She can tend to pull a bit, though has been easy to manage given her tiny stature. She would benefit from working on this with positive reinforcement. Dog social: She has lived with other dogs in foster and co-existed well after a slow intro period Cat social: She lives with a cat in her foster home, but has mainly been kept separated as she can be sensitive to the cat being in her space Kid friendly: She would do best in an adult-only home, due to some body sensitivity Mona likes: - Giving happy tail wags when you enter the room - Being a fall fashionista in her tiny sweatshirts (which she will take off overnight while she sleeps soundly by your feet) - Cuddling up in a warm lap or warm blankie Mona is a little love bug who has slowly been coming out of her shell. While she is missing teeth, it only makes her more charming! She gets the zoomies a few times a day and will chase you around the house while also bucking like a horse. She also has the cutest little tongue that sticks out whenever she's sleeping or resting. She likes slow intros to new pups and does best with respectful dog pals, and then is happy to co-exist with them. She also politely requests consent to give her pets on her own terms, as she has shown some body sensitivity. Mona's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and she is eager to cuddle up with her forever family! Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/ *** Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours. For additional questions, email adopt@onetail.org ***

Zoodle is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey, and then we can set up a phone call or meet and greet with the foster! Zoodle is: Neutered: Yes! Up to date on vaccines: Yes! Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized - Currently on medication for anxiety support More about Zoodle: Housebroken: Yes! Crate trained: Yes! He has done well when home alone in his crate for up to 5 hours so far. Leash walking: Zoodle is still building his confidence on leash, and prefers a slow roam and a very loose leash. He’s very treat motivated which will be great to continue to build his confidence! Dog social: He can co-exist with other dogs but would prefer to be the only dog in the home. Cat social: Unknown Kid friendly: Due to some handling sensitivities, Zoodle would do best in an adult-only home. Zoodle likes: - Perching himself on top of you - Relaxing and napping - The tiniest squeaky stuffies Zoodle is a tiny king who loves to climb all over you like you’re his personal jungle gym. He really just want to be an extension of you and follow you everywhere you go! He can be a little sensitive to handling, so will need an adopter who can read and respect his signals and give him the space he needs. He lives with other dogs in his foster home, but prefers to have his own space and not to share the couch so he would do best as the only dog in his future home. Zoodle's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to cuddle up with his forever person!

Lil  Chihuahua Mix, 1 year old, Spayed female  Hi! I'm Lil, and I may be small in size but I've got a heart as big as they come! At just 8 pounds, I'm basically pocket-sized perfection. I'll let you in on a secret - my absolute favorite place in the whole world is curled up in a warm lap, though I won't say no to a fun toy or a good bone to chew on! Life has thrown me a few curveballs lately. I ended up at Animal Control (by no fault of my own, I promise!) before the amazing folks at C.A.R.E. rescued me. At just one year old, I'm still figuring out this big world, and sometimes it can feel a little overwhelming. But guess what? My foster mom says I'm doing amazing in her home! I might be a bit shy at first - after all, I've had quite a few changes in my young life. But once I feel safe with you, I'll show you just how much love I have to give. And trust me, there's a lot of it! I may be 'Lil' by name, but there's nothing little about my capacity for cuddles and affection. Are you looking for a pint-sized companion who'll make your lap their favorite spot? I could be the perfect addition to your family! Come meet me at CARE, and let's see if we're meant to be best friends forever! Love and licks,Lil   Additional Details Age: 1 year old Breed: Small Mixed Breed Gender: Female, 8 lbs. Children: Unknown Cats: Unknown Dogs: Yes, with proper introduction Personality: Friendly, Lapdog, Loving She is crate-trained, working on potty-training, microchipped, spayed and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.   Adoption Fee: $325   If you are interested in more information or would like to meet this dog, please fill out our online adoption survey: carenorthshore.org/dog-adoption-surveyJanuary 17, 2025, 9:47 am
