Read more about Prada

When Prada was first found, she had an ulcer in one of her eyes that needed veterinary care. Thankfully, she received the treatment she needed, and the ulcer has completely healed. It did leave a little scarring, but it doesn't affect her or her vision at all. It's simply a small reminder of something she's already put behind her.

Prada is one of those dogs who is just easy to love. She's sweet, affectionate, and seems to appreciate every bit of attention she gets. We'd love to see her find a family who will spoil her with all the love she deserves!

5. Alia

Young · Female · Spitz / Mixed · 26 mi from Attica

Meet Alia!

Alia is a pretty little white Sato girl from Puerto Rico, about 7 months old and weighing 25 pounds.

Alia is a friendly, social puppy who gets along great with other dogs and loves people too! She's a sweet girl who would fit right in with a family looking for a young, playful companion. We haven't had the chance to see how she does with cats yet but we think she would be fine judging by her sweet demeanor. She is doing great with potty training as well!

Read more about Alia

At 7 months old, Alia is still a puppy, so she'll need someone willing to continue teaching her all the things a young dog needs to learn. She's a great age to become part of a family and grow up with them.

Alia is ready to trade her Puerto Rican roots for a home of her own, preferably one with plenty of love, attention, and maybe even a doggie playmate!

Our adoption fee is $400 and unless otherwise stated all dogs and puppies have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, 4DX tested (if age appropriate), put on heartworm/flea/tick prevention, age appropriately vaccinated, dewormed, vet checked and flown from Puerto Rico.

6. Dorella

Young · Female · Boxer / Shepherd / Mixed · 26 mi from Attica

Dorella is a gorgeous 3½-month-old Boxer/Shepherd mix with a beautiful brindle coat that really makes her stand out!

Her mom was a medium-sized Shepherd mix, and dad is a mystery, so we're expecting Dorella to be somewhere in the medium-sized range when she's all grown up.

Dorella is still just a baby with a whole lot of growing and learning ahead of her. She's at that fun puppy age where everything is new, and she'll need a family ready for all the adventures (and occasional puppy mischief!) that come with raising a youngster.

Read more about Dorella

With those beautiful brindle markings, she's certainly a little head-turner! Now she just needs someone to give her a home of her own.

Our adoption fee is $400 and unless otherwise stated all dogs and puppies have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, 4DX tested (if age appropriate), put on heartworm/flea/tick prevention, age appropriately vaccinated, dewormed, vet checked and flown from Puerto Rico.

7. Teco

Young · Male · Boxer / Shepherd / Mixed · 26 mi from Attica

Teco is a handsome 3½-month-old Boxer/Shepherd mix with quite the distinguished look for such a young pup! He has that serious, grown-up expression, but underneath it all, he's just a sweet little puppy.

Teco is a very friendly boy who loves attention and is ready to find a family of his own. His mom was a medium-sized Shepherd mix, and dad remains a mystery, so we're guessing Teco will be somewhere around medium-sized when fully grown.

He's still just a baby with lots of growing and learning ahead of him. If you're looking for a friendly, sweet-natured puppy with a face that looks wise beyond his years, Teco might be your guy!

8. Swiper

Young · Male · Shepherd / Labrador Retriever / Mixed · 26 mi from Attica

Meet Swiper! ❤️

Swiper is an adorable 3½-month-old Shepherd/Lab mix with the cutest little nub of a tail! His mom was a medium-sized dog, so we're guessing he'll be somewhere in that range when he's all grown up.

Swiper is just as sweet as can be! He's still a baby, learning all about the world and working on his potty training. Like any puppy his age, he'll need a family willing to continue teaching him the ropes, with plenty of patience, love, and a few treats along the way.

With that cute little nub tail and sweet personality, we don't think Swiper will have much trouble finding someone to fall in love with him!

9. Auggie

Adult · Male · Shih Tzu / Mixed · 26 mi from Attica

Auggie is a 7-year-old, 15-pound Shih Tzu who is just a happy, funny little guy with a personality that makes you smile!

This little fellow is sweet, silly, affectionate and seems to be in a good mood pretty much all the time. He's one of those dogs who doesn't have to do much to make you laugh. Just watching him go about his day is entertaining enough.

One of Auggie's absolute favorite things to do is bask in the sunshine! Give him a nice sunny spot and he'll happily park himself there for as long as the sun cooperates. He's got this relaxing thing pretty well figured out!

Read more about Auggie

And then there's his tail! Auggie only has a little nub of a tail, but don't let its size fool you. That little nub is almost always wagging, wiggling or moving! It's pretty much impossible to be around him without noticing how happy he is.

Auggie also loves other dogs and gets along great with his canine friends. He's a social little guy who enjoys being part of the gang and is just as happy hanging out with his buddies as he is getting attention from his people.

At 7 years old, Auggie is past the crazy puppy stage but certainly hasn't lost his sense of humor or his love for life. He's a really nice age for someone looking for a little companion who still has plenty of personality but doesn't need to be entertained every minute of the day.

Auggie is just a sweet, funny, lovable little dog who deserves a family of his own, a comfortable place to sleep and preferably a house with some really good sunny spots!

10. Kaylie

Adult · Female · Dachshund / Mixed · 26 mi from Attica

Kaylie is about 1 year old, 25 pounds, and has her priorities pretty well figured out: friends, fun and FOOD.

This sweet girl was abandoned on a very dangerous road in Puerto Rico, where she was not only at risk from traffic but also from other dogs in the area. Thankfully, she was rescued before anything happened to her and those days are now behind her.

Kaylie certainly isn’t looking back!

She is a happy, affectionate little girl who LOVES other dogs. Playing with her doggy friends is one of her favorite things to do and she gets along wonderfully with them. She’d probably be pretty thrilled to have a canine brother or sister in her new home.

Read more about Kaylie

There is, however, one thing Kaylie may love even more than playing...

DINNER.

Mealtime is hands down her favorite part of the day. Kaylie is not the type of girl who’s going to turn her nose up at dinner and make you wonder if she’s feeling okay. If the food bowl comes out, Kaylie is READY.

At only about a year old, she’s still young, playful and full of fun, but she’s also very loving and enjoys being around her people.

Kaylie’s life may have started with someone leaving her behind, but we’re pretty sure her next chapter is going to be a whole lot better.

She just needs a family, maybe a doggy friend to play with...and someone who understands the importance of being on time with dinner. She will be here in NY at the end of October and we would love to have a family waiting for her!

11. Gabriel

Young · Male · Corgi / Mixed · 26 mi from Attica

Gabriel is about 8 months old, 25 pounds, and has two main interests in life:

Playing with other dogs and FOOD.

Gabriel was born in the mountains of Puerto Rico along with his five siblings. Thankfully, they were rescued when they were still very young, and Gabriel has grown into one happy, social little guy.

He is an active boy who absolutely LOVES playing with other dogs. If there’s another dog around who wants to run, wrestle or act ridiculous with him, Gabriel is ready! He’s also very affectionate and friendly with everyone he meets.

And then there’s the food...

Read more about Gabriel

Gabriel LOVES to eat. Treats, dinner, snacks, someone else’s dinner — he’s not particularly picky about the details. If food is involved, you officially have Gabriel’s full and undivided attention.

At only 8 months old, he still has plenty of puppy energy and silliness, but he’s also a really loving little guy who just enjoys being part of everything.

If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate dog who loves other dogs and will NEVER let you accidentally forget that it’s dinner time, Gabriel may be your guy! ❤️

12. Hugo

Young · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed · 26 mi from Attica

Hugo is a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix who weighs about 14 pounds, and once this little guy gets comfortable, his personality REALLY comes out. Give him a few days to settle in and you'll get to see the real Hugo — and he's a riot!

This boy loves to play! He's comical, silly and has a knack for making you laugh without even trying. Once he's comfortable, he's quite the little clown and isn't shy about showing off his goofy side. He's also affectionate and loves attention, so there's plenty of sweetness mixed in with all that silliness.

Read more about Hugo

Hugo does great with other dogs and really enjoys having canine friends around. Being part of a multi-dog household would be just fine with him. He's also doing very well with housebreaking!

Now, Hugo does have a couple of little quirks that we want his future family to know about.

He's a bit fearful of children and teenagers. We think he'd be happiest in an adult home where he can relax and feel secure. A home with older children who are VERY patient, gentle and willing to give him the time and space he needs could also work. Hugo just isn't the kind of dog who wants everyone rushing up to love on him before he's ready.

And cats? Well, Hugo thinks cats are GREAT fun to chase! We haven't seen anything to suggest he wants to hurt them, but he definitely thinks they should participate in his games, whether they've agreed to or not. For that reason, a home without cats would probably be easiest, unless the cats are very dog-savvy and his family is prepared to carefully manage introductions.

Hugo had a rough beginning, and we think some of his fears come from not having the best experiences early in life. But once he trusts you, he's such a funny, loving little dog.

He doesn't need a perfect family. He just needs one that understands he might take a little longer to feel safe, and that the goofy, affectionate little clown underneath is absolutely worth waiting for. ❤️

Please note: All dogs are rescues so we often do not know the actual breeds but use an educated guess to tell you what they most look like.

Unless otherwise stated all dogs and puppies have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, 4DX tested (if age appropriate), put on heartworm/flea/tick prevention, age appropriately vaccinated, dewormed, vet checked and flown from Puerto Rico.

Meet Pumpkin — Loyal, Loving, and Ready for Her Forever Home

Pumpkin is a beautiful 40-pound, medium-sized girl with a sweet personality, a little nub tail that never stops wiggling, and so much love to give.

She's intelligent, affectionate, and still has a playful, puppy-like side. Pumpkin enjoys being active, but she's just as happy spending quiet time with the people she loves. She's a wonderful combination of playful and cuddly, and she has already mastered some important skills that will make her transition into a new home easier.

Fully potty trained and crate trained

Walks beautifully on a leash

Smart, affectionate, and eager to please

Read more about Pumpkin

Enjoys playing and spending time with her people

Forms strong, loyal bonds with those she trusts

Pumpkin tends to connect quickly with women and is especially affectionate once she feels comfortable. She can also develop wonderful relationships with men, but does best with someone who has dog experience and understands the importance of patience and allowing her to build trust at her own pace.

For her ideal home, Pumpkin would do very well as an only dog or with a larger male dog who is compatible with her playful personality. Because she can be a little too enthusiastic during playtime, a home without small dogs or cats would be best.

What makes Pumpkin special is the devotion she has for her people. Once she trusts you, she gives her whole heart. She's the kind of dog who wants to be part of your everyday life, whether that means going for a walk, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing beside you.

Pumpkin has so much to offer the right family. She doesn't need a perfect home, just one with love, understanding, consistency, and someone willing to give her the security she deserves.

Pumpkin is spayed, vaccinated, 4DX tested, and on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention.

14. Bernie

Young (1 year) · Male · Poodle (unknown type) / Shih Tzu / Mixed (long coat) · 27 mi from Attica

Bernie is a 1-year-old, 14-pound mixed-breed pup, possibly with some Shih Tzu and Poodle in his family tree.

Bernie was found running in traffic, scared, neglected, and covered in painful mats that had clearly been growing for a very long time. The mats were so severe that he needed to be completely shaved down. It's obvious that life hadn't always been kind to him, yet Bernie has never let his past dim his spirit. From the moment he arrived in foster care, he showed everyone just how gentle, affectionate, and forgiving he truly is.

Read more about Bernie

Bernie absolutely adores people and forms strong bonds with those he loves. He is happiest when he's close to his foster mom and is the type of dog who wants to be wherever his people are. Whether he's following you from room to room, curling up nearby for a nap, or gently asking for pets, Bernie's favorite place is by your side. He is incredibly affectionate and always ready to share kisses with anyone willing to accept them. His loving nature makes it impossible not to fall in love with him.

This sweet boy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys having canine companions to play with. He loves romping around with his dog friends, but he's also perfectly content entertaining himself with toys when playtime is over. Bernie has a fun, playful side and often finds ways to keep himself busy while waiting for his next cuddle session.

Bernie has not yet been tested with children, but based on his gentle and easygoing personality, we do not anticipate any issues. He approaches life with a soft, loving demeanor and has shown himself to be a kind, patient dog.

Bernie is crate trained and walks on a leash. He is doing very well with house training when provided frequent opportunities to go outside and also uses pee pads. Because he was found as a stray and initially ran from people trying to help him get to safety, a secure, physically fenced yard is strongly preferred for his forever home. While Bernie has settled in beautifully in foster care, his adopters should understand the importance of taking extra precautions during the adjustment period to ensure he remains safe and secure. As with any newly adopted dog, accidents may happen as he adjusts to a new home and routine.

The wonderful thing about Bernie is that he is eager to learn. He is very food motivated and responds enthusiastically to positive reinforcement, making him an excellent candidate for continued training. Every day he gains a little more confidence and learns a little more about what it means to be a cherished family member.

As a non-shedding dog, Bernie will require regular grooming throughout his life. Since he likely went without proper grooming in the past, he is still getting used to the process, but he's making great progress. His future family will need to commit to routine grooming appointments to keep him healthy, comfortable, and looking handsome.

More than anything, Bernie deserves a family that will shower him with the love, patience, and attention he has been missing. After a difficult start, this happy little boy is ready to leave his past behind and begin the life he's always deserved. In return, Bernie will reward his family with endless loyalty, constant companionship, gentle kisses, and a heart overflowing with love. He has waited a long time for his happily-ever-after, and now he's ready to find it. ❤️

Bernie is neutered. up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. His adoption fee is $550

15. Suki

Adult (2 years 11 months) · Female · Bichon Frise (long coat) · 27 mi from Attica

Meet Suki, a sweet little Bichon girl who is just beginning her journey of learning what it means to be a beloved family pet. After spending her life as a breeder dog, everything about pet life is new to her, and she is looking for a patient, understanding family that will allow her to blossom at her own pace.

Read more about Suki

Suki is a happy girl, even if she is still a bit shy. While she doesn't yet seek out affection or cuddles, she happily allows her foster family to pick her up and handle her. Her little wagging tail lets you know she is content and quietly enjoying the world around her. With time, consistency, and love, we know her confidence will continue to grow.

Because Suki has always lived with other dogs, she would do best in a home with another small, friendly dog. A canine companion will help show her the ropes and give her comfort as she learns about life in a home. She is already discovering the joys of toys, chewies, and treats, and she especially loves little snacks. While she may be hesitant at first, she will eventually take treats from your hand once she feels comfortable.

Suki is making progress every day. She knows what to do when she goes outside and can navigate stairs going up on her own. She is currently learning to go down stairs independently and continues to gain confidence with new experiences. She is not yet housetrained and has not learned leash walking, but both skills will come with patience, routine, and one-on-one guidance. Because she is not leash trained, Suki will require a securely fenced yard in her adoptive home.

Suki is respectful of cats and generally ignores them, aside from an occasional curious bark. She has recently been groomed and will need regular grooming appointments to keep her beautiful Bichon coat looking its best.

Every day brings a little more confidence and personality from this lovely girl. Suki is already showing us glimpses of the wonderful companion she's destined to become, and we believe she will truly thrive in a patient home that understands her past and celebrates her progress.

Suki is spayed, microchipped, up to date on core vaccinations, and negative for heartworm.

Adoption Fee: $500

If you're looking for a gentle soul to nurture and watch blossom, Suki may be the perfect addition to your family.

To help keep our dogs safe, we require a martingale collar at the time of adoption. If you don't already have one, Pixie Mamas has them available for $10.

16. Kenny

Adult (2 years) · Male · Poodle (Miniature) · 27 mi from Attica

Kenny is a 2-year-old, 14-pound Miniature Poodle with a gorgeous deep red coat and an even more beautiful personality. As a breeder release dog, Kenny may not have experienced life in a traditional home before, but you would never know it. From the moment he arrived in foster care, he settled in as though he had always been part of the family.

Read more about Kenny

Like many Poodles, Kenny is incredibly smart, loving, loyal, and adaptable. He quickly became his foster mom's little shadow, following her from room to room and often announcing his presence with the classic "poodle poke" of his nose against her leg. Kenny is a happy boy who absolutely thrives on attention and affection. Whether he's cuddling on the couch or simply keeping his favorite person company, he is happiest when he's close to those he loves.

Kenny gets along wonderfully with the other dogs in his foster home and enjoys snuggling up with his canine friends. He is also respectful of the resident cats, showing curiosity about their daily routines without causing any trouble. Gentle children would be a great match for Kenny as well.

He is doing an excellent job learning the ins and outs of living in a home. House training is still a work in progress but is coming along nicely, and he is making great strides with crate training too. With continued one-on-one guidance, he is sure to master both in no time. After all, he's poodle smart!

Kenny is not leash trained yet, so a securely fenced yard would be ideal while he continues building confidence and learning new skills. Given his intelligence and eagerness to please, we expect him to pick up leash walking quickly.

Kenny has been professionally groomed and looks absolutely stunning in his beautiful red coat. Like all Poodles, he will require regular grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.

At the end of the day, Kenny is exactly what many people dream of in a companion: a sweet, loving lap dog who wants nothing more than a soft couch, a devoted family, and a forever home to call his own. ❤️

Kenny is neutered, up to date with core vaccines, microchipped, and tested neg. for heartworm. His adoption fee is $550.

To help keep our dogs safe, we require a martingale collar at the time of adoption. If you don't already have one, Pixie Mamas has them available for $10.

As a breeder release, living in a home is a completely new experience for him, and he's learning more every day. Since being neutered, we've seen noticeable improvement, and he continues to move in the right direction. That said, his future family should be prepared to continue his housetraining routine and understand that patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement will be important to help him succeed. With continued guidance, we have no doubt that Max will keep making excellent progress.

Max has an amazing disposition and loves everyone he meets. He's the perfect mix of playful and loving, and we know you'll fall head-over-heels for this adorable boy! ❤️

Max was recently professionally groomed and looks absolutely adorable. He will require regular grooming to keep his coat healthy, soft, and looking his best.

Max is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, flea treated, and dewormed.

His adoption fee is $475.

To help keep our dogs safe, we require a martingale collar at the time of adoption. If you don't already have one, Pixie Mamas has them available for $10.

18. Artie

4 Years · Male · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 27 mi from Attica

Say hello to little Artie! This 4‑year‑old, 20‑pound terrier mix has had a rough start to life, but he’s finally getting the chance to shine. Artie was surrendered locally to a shelter, and when he arrived, he was in tough shape. He was covered in fleas and missing a lot of hair, but with care and time, his coat has been coming in beautifully. He’s turning into quite the handsome little guy. Artie does receive drops for dry eyes and may need to continue them, but he’s a champ about it.

Read more about Artie

Artie loves to play in the yard with his foster siblings and fetches a ball like a pro. He enjoys his little stuffies and will happily snuggle next to you on the couch, though he has a special love for his dog bed. He is crate trained but has the run of the house when his family is home. Artie does have a sensitive tummy — and yes, he can clear a room! He doesn’t get people food, but he does enjoy mealtime and uses a slow feeder to help pace himself.

He enjoys going for walks and is learning not to pull so much. His foster mom calls him Houdini because he can find the smallest space to squeeze through and explore. For that reason, if Artie has a yard of his own, it must be fully fenced and absolutely secure. He would also do well in an apartment as long as he gets regular walks and exercise.

Artie is a fun, sweet, playful little guy who’s ready for a fresh start. If you think Artie might be the perfect fit for your home, apply today!

Artie is neutered, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, tested neg. for heartworm and flea treated and dewormed. His adoption fee is $475

19. Dusty

Puppy (6 months) · Male · Pug / Beagle / Mixed (short coat) · 27 mi from Attica

Dusty is an adorable 5-month-old Puggle who is ready to find a family of his very own! Recently released from a breeding program after aging out of being sold, Dusty is discovering how wonderful life can be as a cherished family pet. He currently weighs under 20 pounds and is expected to mature into a small-to-medium-sized dog, around 25-30 pounds.

Read more about Dusty

Every day, Dusty's personality shines a little brighter. While he was initially unsure of people due to his limited exposure early in life, he is becoming noticeably braver and more confident with each passing day. He's learning that people aren't so scary after all, especially when treats are involved! Watching him build trust and seek out attention has been incredibly rewarding, and we know his new family will love being part of that journey.

Dusty is doing well with his training and is eager to learn. He is very food-motivated, which makes training sessions both fun and productive. He's become quite happy to go into his crate now because he knows good things happen there, usually in the form of treats! Crate training has become an important part of his routine and should continue in his new home.

Leash training is coming along, but it remains a work in progress. Dusty will need continued patience and practice as he learns that walks are meant for strolling rather than stopping to investigate every interesting smell. The Beagle side of this handsome boy definitely shines through when he's outside. Nose to the ground, he loves exploring the world one scent at a time.

Dusty absolutely loves being outdoors and taking in everything around him. When he's faced with something new or unexpected, he isn't afraid to give a classic "Beagley" bark to let everyone know what's happening! It's one of the many charming traits that makes him such an entertaining and lovable pup.

Dusty does well with other dogs and enjoys their company. He has always been with his brother, Sawyer, so his adopters should expect there may be an adjustment period as he learns to navigate life independently. With patience, consistency, and reassurance, we expect him to settle in nicely and continue gaining confidence.

Housetraining is improving every day, but like any young puppy learning a new routine, he will need ongoing guidance and understanding in his new home. Consistency will be key to helping him continue to succeed.

And can we talk about that face? Dusty is absolutely adorable. His sweet expression, gentle nature, and growing confidence make him impossible not to love. He may need a little extra patience as he adjusts to all the new things life has to offer, but the reward will be an incredibly loyal, loving companion. We truly believe Dusty is going to make an amazing family dog for someone willing to give him the time, understanding, and encouragement he deserves.

Dusty is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, flea treated, and dewormed.

His adoption fee is $475.

To help keep our dogs safe, we require a martingale collar at the time of adoption. If you don't already have one, Pixie Mamas has them available for $10. ❤️

20. Tootie

Young (1 year 1 month) · Female · Shih Tzu / Mixed (long coat) · 27 mi from Attica

Tootie is a 1‑year‑old Shih Tzu mix weighing just 9 pounds, and she is every bit as sweet as she looks. This little lovebug is affectionate, playful, and happiest when she’s close to her people. She’s the kind of dog who melts into your arms, follows you from room to room, and lights up the moment she sees you.

Tootie did wonderfully with kids and enjoys playing with other small dogs. Big dogs can make her a little nervous at first, but once she knows she’s safe, she warms up quickly. She loves toys, chewies, and snuggle time — she’s a perfect mix of playful energy and cozy companionship.

Read more about Tootie

She’s crate trained and doing well with housetraining, though she’ll need a bit of patience and consistency as she settles into her new routine. Tootie is learning her leash skills and improving every day. A fully fenced yard (no invisible fences) is preferred so she can explore and play safely.

This little sweetheart rides beautifully in the car, was recently professionally groomed, and will need regular grooming to keep her looking and feeling her best.

Tootie is ready for a family who will adore her, spoil her, and give her the safe, loving home she deserves. She’s a gentle, joyful, loyal little girl — and she’s so ready to be someone’s whole world.

Tootie is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. Her adoption fee is $550

Adopting a dog in Attica

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
