Story
This is Ava, she is 3 years old. I got her as a puppy. Ava can be a huge love bug and loves to cuddle but at the same time she can have a lot of energy and loves to play with her toys! She needs a bigger space to live in where she can get all the energy out that she has and get the exercise she needs. She can be a very loyal dog! She unfortunately doesn’t do good with kids because she is a shy girl and gets startled very easily which can make her snap. She would seem to do better in an adult home she does do good with cats though. We want a home for her where she can get the training she needs and just someone who has patience and can show her all the love in the world. She is not leash trained because she does get scared very easily so it. Was hard to even get her to walk down the street without trying to pull me back home . She would need time to get use to you but I know with some training and work, patience and love she can love you like any other dog!

Story
Toffee is a sweet, healthy 2 year old male Staffordshire terrier. I've been fostering him since December. He was surrendered to the Manhattan ACC by an owner who said they had no time for him. With a trainer's help, Toffee's come a long way in foster, learning better leash manners and basic commands, and working on his resource guarding issues. Toffee is seeking a forever home where he can be active, explore outdoors, and have snuggle time on the couch. He is house trained and crate trained. A home with a fenced yard where Toffee can play outside would be ideal, and/or an owner who enjoys taking him for walks, who will continue training w/support from the trainer. The rescue will pay for neutering at the adopter's location, foster will cover rescue's additional adoption fee. Toffee is a friendly dog who loves meeting new dogs and people. He currently lives with 3 cats. He is a great TV watching buddy and enjoys watching birds and squirrels and being out in nature.

Story
I hate that I even have to do this, but I have no choice at this point. I am being evicted from my apartment and I have nine dogs and I have to get rid of five of them and it’s breaking my heart but I’ve been evicted. I have to be out by the seventh and I cannot find an apartment that will take nine dogs. I found a few apartments that would except four so I have to get rid of five my stories long so whoever wants to hear it whoever’s interested in adopting five of them I will tell that to they’re all great dogs. It’s four girls and a boy. It’s the mom which is all black one and then her kids I’ve had them their whole lives. I was in a domestic violence situation where he was abusing me and the dogs but again, I will explain everything when asked, but I have until the seventh to get rid of five of them and I have no idea what to do. It’s me my son and nine dogs. I’m a single mom and I just don’t know what to do and it’s killing me because I love them so much. Text at 5188808810

Story
Friends is back! Most of the cast anyway 😊 Chandler and Rachel are the last of the litter to be adopted! These babies are ready to love their way into your heart and home. Chandler is about 34 lbs and Rachel is about 27 lbs. We estimate they are about 10 months old; therefore, they are considered mostly full grown. We do not believe they will get any bigger. We do not know who their parents are but based on size they are some sort of terrier mix. They have very slick, short black hair that is BEAUTIFUL. These sweet babies were found on the street by a local animal control, dodging in and out of traffic and on the verge of getting run over. The shelter was full, so they contacted us to help. We knew we could not leave the babies out there, so we got them to safety in a foster home. 2 of the litter has been adopted, and 2 remain. They are some of the most gentle, friendly pups we’ve had. They are so excited when they’re around people. They just love everybody they meet, including children. They could run around the yard and play for as long as you’d let them, as long as they’re around their people. They love to be your shadow and get lots of pets. They’ll roll on their bellies in excitement, hoping you’ll rub their bellies. They are mostly house trained and are crate trained. They LOVE other dogs and have met inside and outside kitties and have no issues with them. They could live very happily with kids, cats and dogs or without any other animals. Rachel is the runt of the litter. She is a little bottle rocket, always on the go and so full of energy and zoomies. She is one of the most outgoing of the litter. She LOVES her treats and is very food motivated. She is not picky at all about what she gets, as long as it’s food and love. Once she’s done playing, she will be the first to cuddle up to you, very sweet. Rachel would LOVE to be adopted with children to play with or in a home that loves a shadow and loves their adventures/hikes/journeys. The foster jokes she’s part mountain goat because she can scale the highest of fences if left unattended, mainly because she just gets bored outside. She does not run off and is not destructive. Her biggest desire is to always be with you. Chandler is the 3rd smallest of the litter and the smallest male. He is the gentlest of the litter and isn’t in your face like Rachel can be. He is calmer and gentler than Ross and Rachel. He has the saddest eyes when he looks up at you, almost worried he’s done something wrong. Chandler likes to explore but he is more cautious about it and lets the other dogs try everything first. He plays everything safely. Another dog in the home would benefit Chandler as he can gain confidence from another doggy. A medium to low key home would be best for this sweet boy. They both love their toys. You can apply to adopt Chandler or Rachel at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org These babies are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, heart worm negative, current on prevention, dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Winston and Phoebe are beautiful Anatolian shepherd mixes that have pretty good size paws. These puppies were dumped in somebody’s driveway in the country, where they sat all night, waiting for someone to find them. Winston and Phoebe are about 60-65 lbs and we believe they are mostly full grown. They are approximately 10 months old (born around July 2024) These 2 are just as friendly as sweet as can be. When the owner of the home they were dumped at walked outside, they ran up to the owners, tails wagging and tongues out. They LOVE to kiss you and be right next to you. Winston and Phoebe are gentle giants. They are not crazy puppies, but they do love their playtime. Give them toys and they put them in their mouths and run all over the house and yard with them. They LOVE their toys. They can entertain themselves, but they prefer a play buddy (whether it’s an adult, child or other doggy) These gorgeous pups have been introduced to small and big dogs and get along great with both! They look up to other dogs for more confidence but would be great in a home with or without other dogs. Winston and Phoebe adore kitties. They love to cuddle with them in the beds and hang out with them. Inside or outside cats, no issues at all. They may even prefer cat siblings! They LOVE kids! They would prefer children over boring adults any day. They have the goofiest and friendliest personalities. Winston and Phoebe also love water – they would make great adventure buddies. They love to explore and are very curious pups. They catch on quickly to everything you’re doing and will follow you around to watch you. These 2 pups will bring joy, love and laughter into your and your family’s life.
