1. French Toast
French Toast came to us from Manhatten ACC after being brought in with a painful and horrible ulcer in her eye and ear infections. She was seen by our vet right away and put on medications for both her eye and ear and is doing much, much better and we are pretty hopeful she can keep her eye! We were so worried she would lose it and it’s now looking just so much better.

She is just over 1 year old and currently hanging out in an upstate NY foster home and doing great. She is getting along well with the resident dogs, and is also super spunky and playful with the resident kitties.
She is a sweet little girl, just around a year and can’t wait to find her forever home.

2. Deanna
Deanna is a cute little pittie/lab mix (we think) who was brought to the shelter with a mild rectal prolapse. When we have helped so many recently – what’s one more – so welcome Deanna! Currently in an upstate NY foster home, she is about 6 1/2 - 7 weeks old and happy, sweet and spunky. She is already proving to be a smarty pants and doing great with potty training, and will learn additional puppy basics as she settles in.

3. Cosmo
Brindle boy Cosmo is ready for his forever family!
At just over 3 months old and a solid 25ishlbs, he’s that perfect mix of goofy and sweet. He definitely has that funny, bouncy puppy energy—he loves wrestling and playtime—but his favorite thing to do is crash right on top of you for a long nap.
He’s doing great with his puppy basics in his Upstate NY foster home, working on potty training, crate time, and leash manners. Cosmo is going to make an awesome, loyal sidekick for a very lucky family.

4. Cherry Garcia
It honestly blows our minds that Cherry is still waiting for a family to call his own.
From the day he left the shelter, he has been pure joy, big laughs, and total goofball energy. He was a little rough around the edges in the beginning, but the second he realized he was safe, his sweet, spunky personality took over. Right now, he’s thriving in a wonderful foster home in VT, proving every day just how incredible a rescue dog can be when given a chance.
His cherry eye corrective surgery was a huge success—he has healed up beautifully, looks fantastic, and is completely ready to move on to his forever couch.

Age: 3 years young

Cole is a bigger guy, on the border of medium and large, with a wonderfully gentle approach to life. Pulling on the leash? Not his style! He prefers to take his time, exploring, sniffing, and ambling along, with frequent check-ins to make sure his human is still enjoying the stroll.He’s curious about dogs he passes but remains friendly and relaxed.

19. Jason
Introducing Jason — A Sweetheart with a Hunter’s Heart!Handsome Jason is a sweet, young, medium-sized hound with a lovable personality and a nose that knows a thing or two about adventure. The majority of the time, Jason is a pleasant walking companion who doesn’t pull on the leash; but let him catch an interesting scent or spot a woodland critter, and suddenly his inner hunting dog spirit springs to life! His excitement is contagious, and he may do a little bouncing and dancing as he dreams of giving chase. Fortunately, his smaller size makes him quite manageable.Jason is especially animated when he’s near the road, so he’ll appreciate a watchful handler who can help him navigate all that excitement safely.With his handsome hound looks, sweet disposition, and enthusiastic curiosity about the world, Jason is a delightful character just waiting for someone to share his adventures.

Adopting a dog in Marathon
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.
