Hi!  My name is Susie and I am looking for a forever home.  Me and my 4 puppies were surrendered to a scary place called a shelter by our owners.  All of my puppies got adopted and then I ended up on something bad called "the list".  Fortunately for me, a nice lady with a local rescue saw me and sprung me from that place; she then contacted BCAA to see if they could help me and they said yes!  I appear to be a mix of collie and not sure what else, but whatever I am mixed with my foster mom says I'm a super sweet girl 'cause all I want is to be with you and get some loving.  Before coming to my BCAA foster, my previous foster mom had grandkids over and said I was real good with them, too.  They all gave me lots of treats and food (maybe a little too much as I'm now on a diet to get my girlish figure back).  I am aroud 5years old so I'm past all of that puppy foolishness, and I'm currently 57 pounds.  I can be a little shy when I first meet new people, but just give me a little time and some TLC and I will be your friend forever.  I have gotten along with the other medium/small dogs I have met and haven't bothered those things called cats that I've encountered.  I've done super good in my crate without any accidents, barking or tearing up of any bedding, but I would definitely prefer to be out cuddling with you.  I love my food and treats which I take gently.  I've done good on leash but do pull some in my excitement on being out with you.  If you would like to meet me, please fill out an application which can be found at www.bcaaofnj.org.Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application! PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.

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.

WINGER - 12 weeks, 23lbs, Collie Mix, Neutered Expected Full Grown Size About 60lbs This puppy is joining Social Tees on 1/11 and is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program starting that day.

(This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Potty trained?Working on this skill. Puppies under 12 weeks old are often on track with their wee pad skills, but they’re too young to walk outside in public NYC areas yet because they haven’t finished their puppy vaccine series. Puppies older than 12 weeks are usually learning to do their business outside. Potty training takes a lot of patience, consistency, and clean up.  Crate trained?Nope. None of our new puppies have been formally trained, but many of our foster parents/adopters choose to crate train. It can be a great way to keep puppies safe and teach them independence. Social with dogs?Yes. Some puppies are shy, others are bold, but all have the potential to be taught healthy socializing skills. It’s a huge part of raising a puppy and must be done carefully. How they interact with other dogs depends largely on how their humans help them learn to.  Social with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Yes… but most puppies are not a great match for a home with kids under age 8 because they go through intense mouthy play and rambunctious phases and often accidentally hurt young kids while playing. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.   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 play: High! All puppies go through phases where they chew your stuff and grab your hands, arms, feet… puppies naturally explore the world, play, and test boundaries with their mouths. (It also happens when they’re teething.) Their teeth are super sharp though, so it can be a very painful phase for humans and other animals in the home. Proper training, outlets, and socialization are key. Leash manners:None. :) Will need to learn this skill.   Separation anxiety:MEDIUM: Most puppies have some level of separation anxiety as they learn to self soothe. Often they cry the first 10+ minutes when they are left home alone or in a crate. Consistent training and alone time is crucial. Medical status:Healthy as far as we know.
