Story
Two loving dogs (brothers Elwood and Kramer) age 7 are in urgent need of a foster home due to the unfortunate passing of their owners. Elwood and Kramer Mix breed dogs have been well-cared for and are accustomed to a warm and nurturing environment. They are friendly, affectionate, and get along well with each other and prefer to keep them together and be the only pets in the household. Both dogs are healthy, up to date on vaccinations, and have been neutered. They are looking for home where they can receive the same love and care they have always known. If you can provide a safe and loving environment for these wonderful dogs, please consider fostering them during this difficult time. In addition, they are both house trained, walk very well on their leashes and truly love companionship.

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

Molly

Foxhound Beagle

Female, 2 yrs 4 mos

Story
Molly is our 3-legged go-getter! Don’t let her 3 legs fool you, this girl is full of energy and life. She is always on the go and loves to be active. Fantastic movement. Sometimes you see her, and sometimes you don’t. Molly has been owned but unfortunately her owners can no longer care for her. As a teenager, she got out of the house and was hit by a car. The owners rushed her to the vet, but the leg was unable to saved. You’d never know she only had 3 legs the way she moves! Molly is quite short, a beagle-like body but is ‘stout’. She weighs about 38 lbs and was born December 12, 2022 (so right under 2 years old). She has 1 blue eye and 1 amber eye – don’t worry, she has great vision. When she looks at you her eyes just glisten, they’re gorgeous. Molly is house trained, and crate trained. This sweet girl LOVES other dogs and would do fantastic in a home with them as she loves to run around and play. If no other dogs in the home, we strongly suggest somebody that is more active and that enjoys going on adventures, hikes or just long walks around the neighborhood. She is a people pleaser and is very loyal. She will follow you around and be your shadow, right by your side. She knows commands and learns quickly to new ones. Molly is VERY food and treat motivated and will do anything for a yummy treat. In her previous home she was around children, and she loved them! The kids always played with her, and they tired each other out. Molly is leash trained. An ideal home for Molly would be one that is more active and wants a dog that can join in that activity. She loves everyone she meets, she’s always been a house dog, and she is all around just a super playful, super loving, and a super best friend for the perfect family/person. Molly is spayed, heart worm negative, current on vaccinations, current on preventions, microchipped and will have a health certificate giving her a clean bill of health from a veterinarian.

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 currently weigh 40-44 lbs as of 11/16/24 – We estimate they will be around 55-70 lbs once full grown. 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.
