Arielle is already showing what a wonderful little girl she can be, with her sweet personality shining through. She is great with other dogs, cats, and children and loves making friends. She’s playful and energetic, but underneath all that puppy enthusiasm is a loving, gentle, and incredibly affectionate girl.

Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped (not Lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it!) All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport. Please go to our site https://zanisfurryfriends.org fill out an application
Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent--please ask by writing us at dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB. If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too.
Please consider providing a home for more than one dog, especially if you are considering adopting a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and very much enjoy as well as need other dog company to learn to play, socialize and be good companion animals to people. The upside to this is that you won't feel as guilty leaving them alone and you get twice the love. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer, and you can always donate!

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?

9. Willow
Willow (GA) would like everyone to know that her current hairstyle is a choice. A bold choice. A "just rolled out of bed and immediately started having adventures" kind of choice. This one-year-old Terrier mix may be arriving with a slightly windswept look, but underneath the shaggy exterior is a delightful young pup with a joyful outlook and enough charm to power a small city. She's the canine equivalent of that friend who wakes up smiling, has no idea where her hairbrush is, and somehow still steals the show. Willow is full of fun, affection, and goofy enthusiasm. Whether she's trotting around making new friends or soaking up attention from anyone willing to provide ear scratches, she approaches life as if every day is the best day ever.

A spa day is on the horizon, and once Willow gets her makeover, she'll undoubtedly look fabulous. But the truth is, her greatest feature isn't her coat.

Winnie (GA) is proof that a little scruffy can be absolutely adorable. This 2-year-old small Terrier mix arrived looking like she's overdue for a spa day, but don't let her slightly disheveled appearance fool you.

She's the kind of dog who doesn't worry about having a bad hair day because she's too busy enjoying every moment and making new friends. With her bright personality and affectionate nature, it's impossible not to smile when she's around.

16. Gracie
Gracie (GA) Needs Someone to See Her Worth When Gracie was rescued, her condition was nothing short of heartbreaking. At just 2 years old, this sweet Doodle girl should have been enjoying life, playing, loved, and cared for. Instead, she was found painfully emaciated, her body telling the story of neglect no dog should ever endure. Her coat was so severely matted that it hid the beautiful dog underneath, while her eyes carried the sadness of a soul that had been forgotten. But through it all, Gracie never stopped being gentle.

28. Milo
Milo (AL) is the kind of dog who makes you stop in your tracks — dark, handsome, alerteared, and carrying a story that hits you right in the chest. When rescuers found him in the shelter, Milo wasn’t just scared… he was hurt. He had been attacked by other dogs and beaten up, left bruised and battered in every way a dog can be. The kind of pain he endured doesn’t fade quickly — but Milo’s spirit didn’t break. Even with his wounds, even with the fear still fresh, he looked up at the people who came for him with a quiet plea that said, “Please don’t leave me here.” And they didn’t. Now Milo is safe.
Read more about Milo
He’s healing. He’s learning that hands can be gentle, that voices can be kind, that the world can be soft again. At 45 lbs, he’s the perfect size to wrap your arms around — and he leans in like he’s trying to memorize what love feels like. His ears stand at attention, always listening, always hoping. His eyes follow you with a mix of gratitude and longing, as if he’s trying to understand how he went from being hurt to being cherished. Milo is gentle and good with people. What he wants most is simple: safety, tenderness, and a home where he will never be harmed again. Milo survived. Now he deserves what he’s never had — a family who sees his worth, his bravery, and the beautiful dog he’s becoming. If you have room in your heart for a survivor who still believes in love, Milo is waiting.

29. Portia
Here comes Portia (GA), a five-year-old mystery mix (possibly Retriever, Pit Bull Terrier, and/or Cane Corso) whose most important breed is, without question, irresistible. Portia came to the shelter with a collar so deeply embedded in her neck that it had to be surgically removed, a wound that says everything about her past and absolutely nothing about her spirit. Despite the pain and neglect she endured, Portia remains pure love. She adores people, loves other dogs, and will happily lean her 69 pounds against you as if to say, "Thank you for seeing me." The good news? Her neck has healed beautifully, and she's finally ready to find the forever family she's waited so patiently for.
Read more about Portia
Portia's DNA results are also in: she's 90% love bug, 8% house hippo, and 2% velociraptor. The velociraptor only appears during her occasional playful zoomies. While she enjoys a few bursts of fun each day, most of the time she's happy to curl up on her bed, watch TV, go for walks, spend time with dog friends, or simply be wherever her people are. She has the calm confidence of a much older dog, walks beautifully on leash, is crate trained, and has excellent house manners. She's smart, eager to learn, and, according to her foster mom, one of the sweetest, most affectionate dogs she's ever known. Portia isn't defined by what happened to her. She's defined by her resilience, her gentle heart, and her remarkable ability to love despite it all. Could those velvet ears be calling your name? Apply to adopt Portia at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org. Her adoption fee is $450. She's been through the worst. Now she deserves the very best.Please be sure to reference this pet's name as Portia (GA) in case of duplicate names within the rescue.

Millie (AL) is only about 15 months old, but her little heart has already weathered more than most dogs ever should. This Long Haired Chihuahua mix was given away to someone who then tossed her outside for four days with no food, no water, and no kindness. When rescuers finally reached her, Millie’s sad, soulful face said everything — she had been waiting for someone to notice she mattered. And she does matter. Millie is a gentle, sensitive girl who needs a moment to feel safe with new people. She’s not shy because she’s stubborn — she’s shy because she remembers what it felt like to be forgotten.

But once she realizes you’re one of the good ones, she softens like sunshine. Her tiny tail starts to wag, her eyes brighten, and she leans in with the sweetest, quiet devotion. She’s wonderful with dogs and cats, and she finds comfort in their company. Millie would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can blossom at her own pace and learn that love doesn’t disappear.

Adopting a dog in New York County
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.
