You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. ALMA-Boy was saved from being shot on the streets of Oman by an amazing organization Muscat Dog Adoption. He along with his7 friends were flown into JFK where they were cleared the CDC and then picked up and transported back to Give a Dog a Home Rescue, in Sebec, Maine on 5 April 2024 We post in east coast states and Canada as we have many families adopt and are happy to make the worthwhile trip up to the rescue. We do not always have time to post all the pictures on each dogs individual page, but we do post a lot of photo's on the rescue Facebook page. Alma-Boy is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, monthly preventatives, heartworm and tick disease tested negative and is microchipped. He has an estimated date of birth of 21 November 2022 and at the time of transport weighed around 35 pounds. Mixed breed dogs in Oman are referred to as Omani Wadi Dogs, with most of them being Saluki mixes. Alma is such a gentle and sweet boy, he is a little wary at first, but having been through all he has leaving his rescue in Oman and traveling to the US is a huge change. After just a few days, he has settled in great, he gets excited when I go over to the kennels, will now take treats, very gently, shares a kennel with two other dogs and does great. One of his kennel mates, CHIP a young cattle dog is really helping to bring him out of his shell, teaching him to play and having him curious in the toys and chews. He sleeps snuggled up with, I feel he gets a lot of comfort with Chips typical cattle dog confidence. ALMA is thin, although being the kind of breed, a sighthound mix, he will not need to gain much more weight, but a few extra pounds would have him at a healthy weight. We take a lot of pictures and videos and don't always have the time to post them on the dogs individual webpage and adoption site, so we ask that you go to the rescue    YouTube channel   and    photo albums on our Facebook page   to see a LOT of pictures and videos. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks. Alma-Boy is located at the rescue in Sebec Maine and is available for a reduced adoption fee of $300. Interested families are required to complete our application process and once approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Our process takes 1-2 days as long as we are able to talk to references, so be prepared to be approved (hopefully) to adopt within a few days of submitting the adoption application. https://giveadogahome-rescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=5838 HOUSE TRAINED - All of our dogs are located in the kennel building so we are not able to say if a dog is house-trained, however, they do have access and use the dog door to access their run, play area 24/7. FOOD - We feed a variety of high quality brands and flavors including, chicken, turkey, beef, lamb and fish generally alternated daily. CATS - As the dogs are in the kennels, we are not able to say how they are with cats.

BLONDIE - 8 months, 32lbs, Collie/Shep Mix, Spayed  Expected to be about 35lbs full grown  This puppy is joining Social Tees on 10/26 and is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program starting that day. 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. 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.)  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. 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 starting that day. 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: "Bon Jovi is shy at first, but can be quick to warm up if introduced in a calm and quiet setting. He’s very sweet, looks for human approval and attention once he is comfortable with someone. Lots and lots of tail wags every time I make eye contact with him! He needs extra patience and love as he is pretty scared of most new things — especially outside. Strangers, scooters / skateboards, and loud noises make him nervous and he will need a lot of positive reinforcement to help build his confidence. Indoors, he is calm, affectionate and gaining his confidence slowly, but surely. He’s doing a great job sticking to his bones and chew toys - but will test boundaries if he doesn’t have enough to play with. He seems to enjoy having a variety of toy textures to play with - soft toys, nylabones and bully sticks. I have not heard him bark or make much noise at all - even in his kennel. He does wonderful overnight in his kennel and doesn’t seem to have any separation issues at all. When he’s whined, it’s only lasted a few minutes before he settles down. He mostly just wags his tail and waits to be let out to say hello. He’s been wonderful with my older resident dog and gives her all the space she needs. He seems friendly and interested in her, but is not seeking too much attention from her. I think he would do great with any other dogs or animals in a home. He would probably thrive with a younger resident dog who wants to play too - I think it would help him build confidence. We’re slowly working on basic commands, but I think he’s a bit too nervous to focus at the moment. He is definitely housebroken and has done great in that regard. He’s going outside consistently even though he’s clearly frightened of all that’s happening outside. He does well on leash objectively, but associates it with going outside so it does make him nervous when he sees it’s coming his way. Overall, Bon Jovi is an extremely sweet puppy with loads of potential - he just needs a family who can give him the training, socialization and attention he needs to gain his confidence in the world."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? (Indoors, if the dog cannot go outdoors)Yes -- Few or no accidents insideComfy with strangers?Sort of -- 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) Teen and Up--  Bon Jovi is a sensitive pup so not a great fit for young kids, okay with calm 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 -- Seems to get along with otheranimals, either tries to play with them or is mostly uninterested. We are able to cat test for approved adopters. We think he would be okay in a home with cats. 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’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.) Lower – Cries for a few minutes and then settles down 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.
