She’s very smart, affectionate, and still learning her puppy manners. She has been vetted and spayed, and arrived at our partner shelter very skinny, so has been gaining healthy weight in her foster home.

4. Bruno

Young (2 years 6 months) · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Shih Tzu / Mixed (medium coat) · 22 mi from Perth Amboy

Meet Bruno -
A little time, a little trust, and a whole lot of love
!
❤️

Bruno may not be the kind of guy who runs up to greet every stranger, but give him a little time to get to know you, and you'll discover a sweet, affectionate boy who is happy to share his love with his people! Once he's comfortable, his loving personality shines through, and he'll make a wonderful companion.

Bruno has plenty of great qualities! He's crate trained, leash trained, and does well in the car. He's also good with other dogs and cats, so he may enjoy having some furry friends around.

Read more about Bruno

Bruno would do best in an adult-only home with a securely fenced yard where he can enjoy some outdoor time. He can be a bit skittish and has a tendency to try to escape, so a family willing to take extra precautions and provide a safe environment is important. He can also be somewhat protective of his home and people.

With moderate energy and exercise needs, Bruno would make a lovely companion for someone looking for a devoted friend. He doesn't need you to be his best friend the moment you meet him; he just needs a little time, patience, and understanding. Once you've earned his trust, you'll have a loving boy who is happy to call you his person.

Could Bruno be the loyal companion you've been waiting for? ❤️

Bruno is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm. Bruno has been s neutered and has a microchip. His adoption fee is $500.

Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home.

5. Max

Adult (2 years 5 months) · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Shih Tzu / Mixed (medium coat) · 22 mi from Perth Amboy

Meet Max — a tiny boy with a big heart who’s learning what it means to be loved.

Meet Max

A gentle little soul looking for a quiet home and someone who understands that trust takes time.

Max is shy and easily frightened by new people and places, but give him patience and space, and his sweet side begins to shine. Once he feels safe, he loves being close—curling up in your lap or following you from room to room.

Read more about Max

He’d do best in a calm, adult-only home. A secure fenced yard and close supervision are important, as he may try to escape when scared. If he has a dog companion, a calm one would be best. He may also need patience with potty accidents when left alone.

Max doesn’t need you to rush him. Just give him time, kindness, and a safe place to belong.

Max is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm. He will be neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $500.

6. Gremlin

Young · Male · Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed · 25 mi from Perth Amboy

Gremlin (AL) has officially retired from his previous career as a neglected backyard ornament and is now accepting applications for a much more prestigious position: Beloved Family Dog. At just 3 years old, this dark and handsome Miniature Poodle mix has movie-star looks hidden beneath his current "I-woke-up-like-this" shelter makeover. Don't worry, Gremlin is safely in rescue now and headed for a glow-up that may cause excessive compliments, neighborhood envy, and spontaneous declarations of "Who's and a handsome boy?!" Despite not having the easiest start in life, Gremlin somehow skipped the grumpy chapter entirely.

Read more about Gremlin

He's friendly with people, gets along with other dogs and even cats, and seems ready to trade lonely yard duty for couch duty, treat supervision, and quality time with his very own humans. Let's be honest: with a name like Gremlin, you'd expect mischief. Instead, what you'll find is a sweet, lovable guy whose biggest crime is stealing hearts while pretending he had nothing to do with it. Gremlin has waited long enough for someone to choose him. Now he's ready for soft beds, belly rubs, adventure walks, and a family that sees the wonderful dog he's always deserved to be. Apply online to adopt Gremlin (AL) at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org. Gremlin's adoption fee is $600. Warning: Once cleaned up, Gremlin's level of handsomeness may exceed local regulations. Adopt responsibly.Please be sure to reference this pet's name as Gremlin (AL) in case of duplicate names within the rescue.

7. Sasha

Puppy · Female · Dachshund / Mixed (short coat) · 25 mi from Perth Amboy

Sasha – 4-to-5-Month-Old Puerto Rican Sato Seeking Forever Family!

Age: 4–5 months old
Breed: Sato (Puerto Rican Street Dog Mix)
Size: Puppy (Estimated Medium when fully grown)
Good in a home with: Dogs, cats, and respectful children (with proper introductions)

Read more about Sasha

About Sasha:Meet Sasha, a brave little 4-to-5-month-old Puerto Rican Sato with a heart full of hope!
Sasha started her life facing incredible hardships on the streets of Puerto Rico alongside her sweet brother, Sam. As part of a litter of nine vulnerable street pups born to a homeless mother, he had to be a true four-legged warrior from day one. She survived harsh weather, fleas, and the daily uncertainty of street life without a safe place to lay his head.
Thankfully, rescue angels stepped in to change her fortune, flying her and Sam to safety where they received full bellies, endless love, and the medical care they needed to thrive.
Now completely healthy, fully vetted, and parasite-free, this growing puppy has left his difficult past behind. He may have a small body, but at just a few months old, she has giant dreams of finding a perfect forever home. This resilient, intelligent, and deeply loving girl is ready to bring endless affection and puppy kisses to a family of his own.
Could you be the ultimate happy ending Sasha deserves?

Bringing a dog home to your cat

Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.

Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
