Meet Snuggles, the affectionate 3 year-old, 48-pound lab mix with a heart as big as her name suggests.

Meet Snow, a vibrant and affectionate 4½-year-old Rottweiler mix weighing about 85–90 pounds. This sweet girl has a true zest for life and a heart full of love.

She's sugar with a little spice and oh so nice. The perfect mix of "adventure buddy" and "couch potato." Whether it’s a rainy hike or a sunny jog, this girl is all-weather, all-terrain, and always ready to go! She’s even mastering the treadmill for those extra chilly days.

Read more about Snow

When not outside exploring, she loves to be close to her people. Any chance for extra pets, cuddles, or toy time. But when the sun goes down? Snow is all about the "self-care." She loves wearing her favorite jammies, getting a little lotion, and settling in for a calm night.

Why you’ll love her:

•

Pro Student: She is incredibly eager to learn and highly food motivated (even for frozen green beans!). She already knows Sit, Down, Paw, Off, Wave, Spin, and even Get Dressed (putting on her harness). Working on choice games and combo sets.

•

Walking Partner: She’s well-behaved on a leash with her head harness and is the perfect size for a jogging companion.

•

House Manners: She’s crate-trained, calm indoors, has impeccable potty behaviors, and even working on her dental hygiene!

Her perfect match: Snow is a thinker who thrives on learning games as well as a cuddlebug who thrives on affection. She’s currently practicing her social skills at doggy daycare and can be selective with dog friends. She needs a human, or two, who will continue her training journey. While she gets excited to meet new people, she does best with a slow, respectful introduction to feel her best.

Could you be the one to open your home and heart to Snow? She’s ready for her second chance and will reward you with endless love and loyalty. To adopt or foster, please apply at www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application from a laptop or computer.

Rune can be timid when he first meets new people or enters new spaces, but once he feels safe, his true personality shines through.

He loves being near his people and soaking up attention at his own comfortable pace.

Young · Male · Pointer / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from New Rochelle

Meet Rubix - a lovable, playful two-year-old mixed breed weighing 59 lbs. Rescued from NYCACC, his past remains a mystery, but we believe he once had a special boy in his life whom he dearly misses. He’s particularly drawn to his teenage foster brother, showcasing the affectionate bond he can form with older kids. One thing is for sure and his foster family can attest to this: he makes a wonderful companion.

Read more about Rubix

Known for his bright personality, Rubix is an absolute sweetheart and so smart with an impressive command of tricks. He responds to commands like sit, down, settle, wait, search, drop it, and is a jokester who can even play dead! He’s house trained and will let you know when it’s time to go outside (and boy does he love playing outdoors). Whether he’s cuddling up for a nap like a full-body pillow with the nearest human or racing around the yard, Rubix brings joy to everyone around him. At the heart of it all, he simply just loves to be loved.

This sweet boy is perfect for a family with older kids or empty nesters who can appreciate his energy and love for play. He adores other dogs and enjoys playing with them, though he may need an active family familiar with larger breeds (though in his head, he thinks he's a little guy not aware of his size). Rubix is the quintessential pup who loves toys and is always ready for adventure—whether it’s hiking, beach days, or jogging alongside you.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who thrives on love and play, Rubix is your guy! Let’s give him the fresh start he’s been dreaming of. Apply today to adopt Rubix at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application using a computer or laptop. Together, we can make a difference for this amazing pup.

18. Ottis

Young (2 years 5 months) · Male · Coonhound / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from New Rochelle

Meet Ottis!

Ottis is a handsome 2 year old, 60 lb red and white coonhound mix ready to find his fur-ever. This sweet boy is house trained, crate trained, and has wonderful manners in the home. He’s calm, affectionate, and loves being close to his people, though an adult only home or with older kids would be best.

Read more about Ottis

Ottis is a big fan of car rides, couch snuggles, and cozy evenings at home. He already knows “sit” and “stay,” and he’s eager to please. Like any respectful co-worker, he'll let you work from home without demanding too much attention. At night, he doesn’t even need to be crated — once everyone settles in, Ottis makes his little rounds checking out each open room before curling up in a small pet bed at your feet and sleeping peacefully until morning.

He’s the kind of dog who fits naturally into family life and brings a comforting, loving presence wherever he goes. Whether you’re relaxing at home or heading out on an adventure, Ottis will happily be right by your side.

This handsome 2-year-old, 75-pound boy was found wandering in the country with no one to claim him. Thankfully, a kind neighbor contacted the shelter after a few days, and Caesar is now ready for his next chapter. After a dna test we found out Caesar is 50/50 Poodle and Great Pyrenees.

When he arrived, his coat was quite matted, but underneath it all was a healthy, happy boy who had clearly known love at some point—he’s already neutered and seems to be house trained. Caesar is friendly, gentle, and eager for attention.

Meet Bodhi, a male pit bull terrier mix with a huge heart and a true survivor’s spirit. He is estimated to be between 1 and 3 years old, weighs about 45 pounds, and is full of life and love.

Bodhi miraculously survived a hit-and-run car accident, and through it all, he has remained incredibly sweet and people-oriented. As a result of his injuries, Bodhi needed a tail amputation, but he has healed beautifully and is now in excellent physical shape. His resilience is matched by his joyful, lively personality.

Read more about Bodhi

Bodhi loves to train and play with people, he can get a bit over-excited so he needs people who are willing to work with his trainers to learn how to play properly with him. His trainers will also be involved every step of the way to ensure a smooth transition and help to answer any questions.

Bodhi would do best as an only dog in an adult only home and people who have past experience with a high drive, high energy dog. He is a great dog with a big heart, a strong spirit, and so much love to give. If you are looking for a loyal companion with a remarkable story and an even better personality, Bodhi may be the one for you.

26. Beetle

Young (2 years 10 months) · Male · American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from New Rochelle

Meet Beetle!

Beetle is a handsome, 2-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix weighing about 60 lbs, and he is truly one of a kind. He’s neutered, house trained, and an absolute love with people.

Beetle is a big, lovable goofball who has a way of stealing everyone’s heart. He joins his foster family on walks to and from school and has become quite the local celebrity. Families, kids, and even crossing guards have fallen for him—and some people now bring him treats! He loves attention and happily shows off his “paw” and “down” skills for an audience. One person even dubbed him the “Prince of River Edge.”

Read more about Beetle

When he’s calm, Beetle is a total love bug. He is extremely people-oriented, loves being close to his humans, and enjoys soaking up affection. He can also be a hilarious character.

Beetle is making progress with his leash skills. He has shown some reactivity toward other dogs while on walks, but his foster family is working hard with him, and they are seeing improvement. They are practicing “stop,” “sit,” and “look,” teaching Beetle to check in with his people for direction. He is now looking at his foster much more frequently on walks and has even started sitting and looking up for guidance without being asked.

Because Beetle is a strong, 60-lb dog, a home with older children would be best. His adopters should be prepared to continue working with him on leash skills, basic training, and appropriate behavior around other dogs. He has lived with another dog previously, but they were not bonded.

And while Beetle is very much a 60-lb bully-breed dog with a big personality, he doesn’t particularly enjoy getting wet—rain and sprinklers are definitely not his favorite things—and while he tolerates a bath, he wouldn’t exactly call it a spa day.

Beetle is funny, affectionate, smart, and full of personality. He needs a family willing to give him structure, consistency, continued training, and plenty of love. In return, you’ll have a loyal companion who will keep you laughing and make friends wherever he goes.

Beetle’s owner was no longer able to care for him, and he is now looking for the forever home where he can continue to grow, learn, and be the wonderful dog we know he can be.

Meet Bart!

Bart is a 3-year-old Flat-Coated Retriever (62 lbs) who is up to date on all vaccines and currently working on building confidence through training. He has a sensitive nature and can be unsure of new people at first, so slow, structured introductions are essential for him to feel safe. While he does well with dogs, we are looking for a home where he will be your only puppy love.

Read more about Bart

Because of this, Bart is looking for an experienced adopter who is committed to participating in training sessions before bringing him home, so he can build trust gradually. His trainers will also support the transition to set both Bart and his adopter up for success.

Bart would do best in a calm, suburban or country home with adults only. Once he feels comfortable, this fella is incredibly loyal and forms a strong bond with his person. With patience, consistency, and continued training, he will make a deeply rewarding companion.

Bart can’t wait to meet you! He is waiting in boarding for his perfect forever home. He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

Sweet Ann is an adorable 8-month-old, 35 lb girl who is ready to find her forever family!

Born on February 9, 2026, Ann is still a puppy, and her personality continues to blossom as she settles into her new foster home. After about two weeks with her foster, we're learning even more about this sweet girl!

Ann's affectionate side is really shining through. She loves to give kisses, cuddle up with her people, and sit in your lap. While she enjoys her independence, she also loves being close to the people she trusts.

Read more about Ann

One thing Ann REALLY loves is the company of another young dog! When her brother, Fred, visited this week, the two played continuously in the backyard for about 30 minutes. Ann would do wonderfully in a home with a young canine companion who could be her playmate and help keep her entertained.

Like any puppy, Ann is still learning and growing. She isn't a fan of the crate just yet and tries her hardest to get out, so she'll need patience and positive reinforcement as she learns that her crate can be a safe, comfortable place. She's also in her teething stage, so plenty of appropriate chew toys will be a must!

Adopting a dog in New Rochelle

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.
