Story
Rescued when she was 1 1/2 years old from a local shelter. She has been the only pet for the majority of her life. Unfortunately she is not a fit in my new home with an infant and 3 cats. Although we love her so much, We are unable to make suitable accommodations and are hoping she can find a better fitting home with just as much love. We have tried several trainers but the unfortunate reality is she just isn't a match for this new home/lifestyle. She is covered under Bark Busters training program (Free) for the remainder of her life. She's an awesome companion who loves to run with you, bike ride, swim, hike, cuddle, share snacks, etc! She has all her basic commands down solid. She would thrive in an active life style. She's pretty much plug and play! No adoption fee necessary we really just want her to find someone who can pick up where we left off and love her quirkiness for the rest of her days.

Story
Vida was found in Puerto Rico at 12 weeks. She is crate trained, follows simple commands like sit, down and place. There are two teenagers in my home and she gets along with a 4 year old male French bull dog and a 14 year old Shorkie but does not get along a with a 3 year old female French bull dog in the home. Also unsure if she will get along with other dogs or small children as she hasn't been exposed to them. She is very energetic, loves her chew toys, balls and frisbees. She loves one on one time, and is affectionate.

Adorable Suga can’t understand why she hasn’t found her family yet. She is super sweet,super spunky, six-month-old pup. She gets along with other dogs and cats. She’s got a big personality and is a lot of fun. Unfortunately she is shy when you first meet her so she’ll need a special family willing to give her some time to adjust. She is available For adoption through New York Safe Haven Animal Rescue. She is a mutt / mixed breed rescued from Puerto Rico. They call them “sato” dogs. Apply via www.nyshar.org/applications
