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.

Story
Juju is a 3 y.o. Coonhound Beagle Pit mix adopted from Bideawee April 2022. He is healthy, neutered, micro chipped & up to date on shots. Bideawee will not take him back & we have been denied by municipal shelters & rescues due to him attacking another dog. He attacked another one of our dogs 3 weeks ago. He is better off in a home being the only animal. He prefers females over males and has bitten a new to him man who tried to grab a ball from him outside. I am currently 6 months pregnant and am looking for him to be re-homed asap. Juju is affectionately called Jooj or Chooj. He is a very sweet 40lb lapdog. Very loving goofy and playful. Looking for an experienced dog owner with a fenced in yard. He is a hound so he 'bays' similar to howling. He does not like to be brushed & is very treat motivated.

Story
Charlotte is just over 2 years old. She is a sweet girl who is full of energy. She knows basic commands, and likes to go for walks because she loves all the different smells. She loves giving kisses and getting a good belly rub. She loves using her nose to find hidden treats. Her favorite treats are pig ears. Charlotte would do best in a home with no other animals and a large, fully fenced yard. Charlotte is comfortable during fireworks or a thunderstorm. While she is fine in a crate she does prefer to be with her companion, that will make her happiest. Please understand that you will need to take things slowly and have lots of patience as you get to know each other.

Bodhi

Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog

Male, Young
Holtsville, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bodhi is a beautiful sheltie/shepherd mix weighing 55lbs. I am looking to rehome due to unforeseen lifestyle changes. I now live in a small apartment and no longer have the help of family to watch over him while I work night shifts, so I feel it is best hes under the care of someone who has more time for him. He's trained and loves doing tricks for food and when playing fetch. I think he would be best fit in a home with a more experienced owner and possibly with other dogs around, he has a lot of energy and loves to run around and play fetch. Bodhi is a loving, mindful dog; however, he can be afraid of people at first and has bitten members of my family upon initial interactions when in a submissive position. It is very infrequent and he is well behaved the majority of the time. The last thing I want to do is give up on Bodhi, he is a beautiful dog with a lot of love to give and I think he can flourish under the right care and environment. I can be reached at 516-508-6251 anytime
