Story
Meet Baby Valentine! This adorable Shih Tzu mix was named because he was surrendered on Valentine’s Day. Despite inheriting seizures from his dad, Baby Valentine is too busy being the happiest pup to notice! Baby Valentine needs to take his meds every day (one of them every eight hours—yes, he has a schedule!), but don’t worry—they're very inexpensive. He’s used to taking them without fuss and goes right back to playing with every toy he can find and running around with his foster sister, trying to show her that he’s just as big and brave as she is! He needs a special human who can keep up with his meds routine. Baby Valentine is a ball of energy who loves everyone and everything! Now, he’s looking for his forever home. Baby Valentine gets along great with other dogs, though he hasn't been tested with cats yet. He’s doing really well with leash training and is already pee pad trained. Plus, he’s getting the hang of using the bathroom outside. At only about 10 lbs, he’s a small pup who won’t grow much bigger. Baby Valentine loves car rides and enjoys going everywhere with his foster mom. If you’re looking for a buddy who will shower you with love every time he sees you, whether it’s been a minute or 5 hours, Baby Valentine is the one! Interested in adopting Valentine? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.   January 7, 2025, 9:35 pm

Don't know where they came up with the saying 'cute as a button' but if the saying it's wear it. And Presley certainly does! This boy was found in the most deplorable of conditions, but despite all he's been through, he's a happy, playful little guy who just seems so grateful for his new lease on life. Presley requires a fenced yard. Presley is estimated to be about 4 years old. He's neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped.   Interested in adopting me?  To fill out an application visit 3 Hearts 4 Paws.  Please note: we generally do not adopt out of state unless it is within 1-2 hours of us.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 28, 2025, 10:21 am

Story
  A witness watched Blake and another dog get dumped from a car on a major highway. Another rescue stepped up for the other dog and a rescue was sought for Blake. We knew we had to help. Blake was born with a congenital eye defect. He's blind with only a slight opening Blake has adjusted well to his new surroundings. Je's a low maintenance guy who loves nothing more than being held and feeling safe. He absolutely loves stuffed toys and it's a real delight watching him with his little tail wagging while he plays. He's such a sweet, gentle boy. Blake needs an adopter who is familiar caring for a blind animal. He's curious and needs a safe environment conducive to his disability. Blake is estimated to be about 3 ish years old, he's neutered, up to date on core vaccines and microchipped.

Story
Zara is a 5-6-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart that longs for love. Though her journey hasn’t been easy, she’s ready to find her forever home. This little lady is shy at first but warms up with a little patience and kindness. Once she knows you, she adores going on walks and will cherish being part of a cozy home instead of a kennel. Zara would thrive as the only dog in her new home. She’s unsure about cats, so a feline-free environment is best, and due to her reserved nature, she’d do well in an adult-only household. Zara dreams of having someone special to call her own—someone who will give her the love and security she deserves. If Zara sounds like the perfect companion for you, please fill out an application at rescueridge.com. To respect her journey and ensure the best fit, no phone calls or questions will be answered without an application. If you’re not contacted, it means another family is a better match for her unique needs. After submitting your application, you can text 732-546-8805 to follow up.

Story
BISCUIT - Shih Tzu, 8 years, 8lbs, Neutered  Thier Foster Parent Says: "Simply put, Biscuit is perfect. He adapted super quickly to NYC and its frigid temperatures. This chill (pun intended) little guy is independent yet affectionate. A big fan of belly rubs, Biscuit will follow his humans around the house, often opening half-closed doors, to check up on them… and then leave. He barks only when he is excited about stuff: playtime; mealtime; treat-time; when you come back home, etc. It’s goofy and oh, so cute. He’s also happy to meet other pups and humans during his walks and has a newfound fascination with pigeons. Speaking of walks, he’s a pro on the leash. Absolutely no complaints here – our resident dog should actually take some cues from him ! Biscuit is totally fine being left alone for a few hours – he goes to sleep a few minutes after we leave. Getting to know him is such a pleasure!" Level of dog ownership experience needed:FLEXIBLE: We predict this dog will be low on the challenge scale with regard to exercise and mental stimulation requirements, but seniors tend to need a lot of help and understanding when it comes to lifestyle and veterinary issues. Seniors usually need quiet, calm environments and routines and do not do well with a lot of bustle, change, and rambunctious movement (kids and young playful dogs, for instance). This dog’s adopter will need to be prepared for senior health challenges, which usually come with expensive veterinary bills and time in vet offices. Senior care can also take an emotional toll on their humans. Adopting a mature pup is a wonderful thing to do, but it can also be difficult.  Energy levelLOWER: Pretty chill indoors and won’t demand endless amounts of stimulation and exercise but still needs a few short walks a day (10-30 min each) for potty breaks and to stretch their legs Cuddle Bug LevelLower — Independent, mostly keeps to himself (may be because he's still brand new or shy, this could change)He doesn’t seem to be shy - he just enjoys his own company. He’s cool with chilling on the couch by your side and getting belly rubs he but doesn’t ask for them. Potty TrainedYes — Few or no accidentsHe’s had a few accidents in the first few days but it was mostly due to us not being familiar with his needs. Walk in the morning, quick pee at the tree around noon, walk around dinner time, and quick pee before bed is the way to go.  Comfy with strangers?Yes — Fine with meeting new people but not particularly interested, kind of shy in busy social situations like a gathering or a packed day in the park.He will acknowledge new people by kissing them and then goes on about his day. Good with Children? (ALWAYS requires supervision)Yes for all ages — very gentle, low energy, tolerant, not mouthy. We would say about 8 and up? He’s super friendly and chill but needs children who will be gentle with him. Good with Other Dogs?Yes — Good with all other dogs (sizes, breeds, etc.) as far as we know and enjoys socializing with other caninesJust like humans, he will acknowledge them and then go on about his day. Biscuit and Jeter pretty much ignore each other in the house yet are very tolerant and don’t mind the presence of the other. Good with Other Animals? (cats, small pets, etc.)We don’t know but our best guess is that he would be fine with cats. We haven’t seen any NYC wildlife yet :) This breed is pretty good with cats :)  Mouthy Behavior? Past this point in life – Little to no interest in chewing on stuff or putting things in its mouth that aren’t food. Doesn’t try to chew on hands, feet, etc. during playtime, doesn’t wreck your stuff — only chews on appropriate things like dog toys and bones.  Leash Manners?Old Pro – Seems like a dog that has been on leash before. Doesn’t pull hard or need much direction. If only Jeter could be more like Biscuit! Okay in the city?Yes — Seems unfazed by the sights and sounds, they may as well have been born here. Jumping on People to Say Hi?Low – Doesn’t jump up on people or dogs. Always all four on the floor.  Separation Anxiety? Low – Completely fine being left home alone. Doesn’t cry or do anything shitty when you leave the apartment or house. Crate training? Not at all – Don’t even have one, I’ve puppy proofed and we free range.We had set one up for him but he doesn’t go nor does he seem to need one. He prefers his bed. Medical statusHealthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines; heartworm negative; spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake. Adopters will need to be ready for senior care – at a minimum, that will be annual checkups including senior bloodwork and a dental post adoption (most senior rescues need one).How 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.

Story
SHINE - 3 years, 15lbs, Shitzu Mix, Neutered  This dog is joining Social Tees on 2/1 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: 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.) Energy levelMEDIUM: Needs a daily 60-90 minute walk or window of quick paced exercise (minimum) in addition to potty break strolls (10-30 min each). Also needs significant socializing opportunities outside the home and mental stimulation at home like tricks training practice, chew items, and puzzle toys. (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?Probably! Adults usually are, but all will have transitional accidents for the first week or so. A consistent walking route and schedule plus finding spots with grass or dirt can help. Social with other dogs?Yes, but we don’t know to what degree yet. Some like to wrestle with every passing pup, others can coexist well but prefer to keep to themselves. We’ll learn more soon. Social with cats?Not sure yet! Some breed mixes that are generally NOT great matches for homes with cats include large hounds, huskies, and shepherds.  Comfortable with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)We’re not sure yet, but we try to err on the side of caution. Respectful kids ages 8 and up are probably a safe bet. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.  Okay in the city?We don’t know yet. Most adult dogs do well in the city after they’ve had time to adjust to a new environment, but some never adapt and need homes in the burbs.  Medical statusHealthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines; heartworm negative; spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intakeHow 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, Puerto Rico or Southern California.
