Story

Witness entered the shelter as an owner surrender after being kept for just two weeks. The environment was overwhelming for him, and the stress caused him to become sick with CIRDC. With his time running out, we rescued Witness just hours before he was scheduled to be euthanized. Now safe and healing, Witness is an affectionate couch potato who simply wants to be near his people. He loves cuddling, enjoys car rides, and walks nicely on leash. He’s easygoing about baths and brushing and is happiest when he’s settled in close, soaking up quiet companionship. Still learning how to play, Witness can be startled by fast movements, but with patience and gentle handling, his sweet, loving nature truly shines. Witness would thrive in a calm, low-key home with experienced adopters who understand shy dogs and are willing to move at his pace. In return, he’ll offer unwavering loyalty, soft cuddles, and a grateful heart. Witness is fostered in Brooklyn, NY, and is available for local or out-of-state adoption as long as the adopter can travel to meet him. To get the adoption process started, please send us an application at https://bit.ly/rosr-adopt-foster.

Story

Meet Good—and yes, he truly lives up to his name. Good was surrendered to the shelter when the cost of managing his allergies became too much for his previous family. When he arrived, he was dealing with painful skin and ear infections, but with proper veterinary care, medication, and a novel protein diet, he’s now feeling so much better and continuing to thrive. Through it all, Good has remained exactly what his name promises: incredibly sweet, gentle, and full of love. He adores people and eagerly leans in for affection, soaking up every pet and kind word. He gets along nicely with other dogs and even cats, making him an easy addition to a multi-pet home. Good is also a very well-mannered boy. He listens attentively, does great in his crate, and walks politely on leash. All Good needs now is a family willing to continue his care routine and give him the love he deserves. Good is fostered in Brooklyn, NY, and is available for local or out-of-state adoption as long as the adopter can travel to meet him.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Priscilla (GA)'s story is not an easy one to tell, but it deserves to be heard — because she is still here, still hopeful, and still offering her gentle heart to anyone willing to see her for who she truly is. At 9 years old (as of January 2026), this beautiful Pit Bull Terrier has already lived through more than any dog should. She came to rescue as the subject of a cruelty case, painfully thin and carrying a large tumor on her lower jaw. And yet, despite everything she endured, Priscilla arrived with a softness that stops you in your tracks. She greets people with quiet warmth, leans in for affection, and looks at you with eyes that say she hasn’t given up on humans — not even a little. Priscilla is sweet, steady, and wonderfully social, happy to share space with both people and other dogs. She moves through the world with a calm grace, as if she knows that kindness is something to be offered freely, even when life hasn’t always returned the favor. She is currently being evaluated by our veterinary partner so we can determine the best path forward for her tumor and overall health. What we do know is that Priscilla deserves comfort, safety, and a family who will cherish her for the resilient, loving soul she is. If you have room in your home — and your heart — for a dog who embodies courage and tenderness in equal measure, Priscilla is waiting. Apply online to adopt at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org. Priscilla's adoption fee is $300.Please be sure to reference this pet's name as Priscilla (GA) in case of duplicate names within the rescue. Thank you!RDR's adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter/microchip at an RDR-approved facility, whether completed before adoption or if deferred because the pet is too young or has a medical issue. All pets are also current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption. Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 26, 2026, 1:50 am

June

American Pit Bull Terrier/American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Adult

Brooklyn, NY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

June is an affectionate & playful dog. She loves every human she meets and her favorite spot is on a lap or cuddling with her favorite people. June loves walks and requires a medium amount of exercise/enrichment each day, but will spend the rest of her time relaxing on the couch. She is food motivated and has worked with a trainer on most basic commands (sit, stay, leave it, etc.) and leash walking, but occasionally pulls when excited. June is potty trained, very quiet (never barks), and is crate trained (used to staying in a crate 9am-5pm with a lunchtime walk a few days a week). She gets along with other dogs 95% of the time, but she has had two bite incidents, both involving smaller dogs (neither dog was seriously injured). We are looking to rehome June because a loud city environment doesn't seem the best fit for her. She would do best as the only pet in the home. Other favorite activities include playing tug, fetch, laying under blankets, and following her humans around the house.
