2 Year Old Rough Coated Collie Fini is a handsome boy! This 70lb dude has been settling into his foster home really well! Fini is a bright and eager pup who's been making fantastic progress in his training! He's smart, responsive, and eager to learn, making him a great companion for someone who loves an active and engaged dog. Recently, with the help of his trainer Lindsey from Dream Come True K9, Fini has been learning how to walk with better control, following his human's lead, and thriving with the proper training tools. He’s also adjusting to a new routine that includes more structured crate time, which is helping him feel secure and confident. Fini is already showing improvements in his behavior, especially on walks where he’s learning to listen and follow commands. He’s a quick learner, and with his newfound confidence, he's on the path to becoming an even better companion! With the support of the Rescue City team, training and foster mom, Fini’s future is looking bright! He's well on his way to finding his forever home, and his potential to be a loyal and loving companion is clear. If you're looking for a smart, energetic, and trainable dog, Fini could be the perfect match for you! He is fully vetted and neutered. Apply to adopt him at rescuecity.nyc/adopt, or email inquries@rescuecity.nyc with any questions! ##2129172##

Chip is a friendly energetic dog who is 9 years old. Ideally he would find a new home that has a big back yard as he loves to run around and play fetch. He loves his family so much and fits in well with others. He’s a bit anxious and nervous at first but warms up easily.

BLONDIE - 8 months, 32lbs, Collie/Shep Mix, Spayed Expected to be about 35lbs full grown PLEASE NOTE: Does okay in the calmer parts of the city, doesn't like the really busy parts. Would love a home in the burbs or beyond. 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. There Foster Parent Says: "Exquisite. Goofy. Two descriptors that don’t seemingly go together but Blondie is exactly that. The regality of a working breed dog is apparent in the way she moves and her goofiness comes out in the cutest, most darling way when she plays (she sort of hops like a rabbit so I’ve taken to calling her Lola Bunny). She’s an adorable, gangly young girl still getting used to her surroundings but extremely adaptive and open to love. She’s loves toys, romping with her foster brother, frolicking through leaves, and belly rubs. She’s potty-trained and does just fine home alone. While she’s working on her confidence, it’s evident she prefers being around another confident and playful dog while she’s coming out of her shell. Though a little wary of new people / places she warms quickly. One of her cutest characteristics is the wiggles she gets when she’s excited; either from you coming in the door, when she’s ready to play, or when it’s time for a meal. Blondie is the most beautiful girl and in a short time has already brought so much joy to our home." Level of dog ownership experience needed:INTERMEDIATE: As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it’s also  tremendous work. Puppies’ personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they’re a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup’s evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult. Energy level MEDIUM: Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day at a minimum. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Cuddle Bug LevelMedium — Likes to snuggle when he's in the mood but often stays in his own bed Potty TrainedYes — very good about this!  Comfy with strangers?Sort of — Fine with meeting new people but not particularly interested, kind of shy in busy social situations like a gathering or a packed day in the park. Good with children? Yes for 12 and up — may be a little energetic or a little skittish, best with older children that can be extra gentle or that are big enough not to get accidentally knocked down Good with Other Dogs?YES —LOVES other dogs. Would be so happy to live with another dog!!!  Social with cats?Yes. Almost all puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners. Mouthy Behavior? Low – Little to no interest in chewing on stuff or putting things in its mouth that aren’t food. Doesn’t try to chew on hands, feet, etc. during playtime, doesn’t wreck your stuff — only chews on appropriate things like dog toys and bones.  Leash Manners?Getting the Hang of it – doing really well on leash!  Okay in the city?Sort of — Loves BK and would do great in parts of the city that are calm and not too much. Would love a home in the burbs and beyond.Jumping on People to Say Hi?Low – Doesn’t jump up on people or dogs. Always all four on the floor.  Separation Anxiety? Nope – Completely fine being left home alone. Doesn’t cry or do anything shitty when you leave the apartment or house.  Crate training? Not at all – Don’t even have one, I’ve puppy proofed and we free range. 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 uponHow 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.

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 levelMedium -- Likes to snuggle when he's inthe mood but often stays in his own bedIs the dog potty trained?

(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 correctionOkay 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.

 BLUES TRAVELER - 8 months, 42lbs, Collie/Shep Mix, Neutered Expected to be about 45lbs full grown  PLEASE NOTE: This dog does best in calm parts of the city and beyond. Would love a home in the burbs or in a calm neighborhood with access to greenspace.  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. Their Foster Says: "Blues Traveler is a big, sweet lovebug! He’s still getting used to the sights and sounds of the city, so can be a bit spooked on walks, but he’s slowly gaining confidence! He loves kisses, belly rubs, greenies, and especially loves his big foster-sister Ella (he lights up every time she comes in the room and loves to kiss her face/play with her!) Based on his interactions with humans, it seems he may be more drawn to women and trusts them a little more easily, as opposed to men. He responds well to commands, is super intelligent (we potty trained him in about 5 days!) He still likes to get into a bit of mischief with chewing, but is learning quickly. Our daily routine consists of a 60 minute walk in the morning, or a 45 min walk first thing followed by another 30 ish minute lunch walk shortly thereafter. Around dinner we go out again for another leisurely 30 ish minutes, depending on how long the earlier walks were. And we always make sure we take him out right before bed! He does better walking with our senior pup, Ella, than he does on his own (confidence in a pack!) He’s inquisitive, a bit shy, especially when meeting new people or new dogs, but ultimately the sweetest dog in the world! He sleeps through the night, and has only ever made one mess in our house (first day we had him! We believe this was due to nerves/high stress from the travel). He’s a big fan of his cong. We’re working on crate training him, but can tell crates really freak him out, so it’s going to be a slow process. He does well when left alone (a few minutes of whining, but after that just sleeps while we’re gone! We have a furbo so we can watch him and Ella together. Should note that we leave them out together now, with no issues). We truly believe he is made of special stuff. He’d do particularly well in the suburbs, or with a backyard, but he’s also learning to enjoy and love the city. Just going to take a bit more time to fully adjust to the noises and activity!"

(cats, small pets, etc.) Yes — Seems to get along with other animals, either tries to play with them or is mostly uninterested. We are able to cat test for approved adopters. We suspect he would be fine with cats based on his temperment.  Mouthy Behavior? Medium – Is respectful of hands, feet, etc. but does like to chew on things it’s not supposed to like shoes, furniture, etc. Leash Manners? Getting the Hang of it – Probably hasn’t been 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? Sort of — Spooked easily by loud noises and bustling areas but walks pretty well and probably just needs more time to adjust (may be a puppy or a brand new rescue) Jumping on People to Say Hi? Medium – Jumps up only on people the dog knows when really excited. Stops with correction. Separation Anxiety? (Please be sure to leave your foster dog home alone every single day for at least 20 minutes.) Low  – Might cry for a few minutes when you first leave the house but settles pretty quickly and has no problem being left alone. Crate training? Working on it – We set one up and leave the door open but rarely close it because the dog freaks out when we do. Medical status:Healthy as far as we know.

Meet this goofy girl Gordy! She is about 6 to 8 months old and is about 25 to 45 lbs. She is a mix of what we believe is a border collie/bull terrier mix. She was dropped in the middle of a field and left there to starve to death. She was so scared of people and did not trust us at first. She was never wanting to bite, but was for sure scared of people. We got her more comfy with being around everyone, but will need a slow introduction. She is good with other dogs and kids, but with chase a cat when it runs, not to get it, but just to play. She is working on those manners. She is a great girl and deserves all the love she can get.
