21. Cody
9 Years 1 Month · Male · Shih Tzu



Meet Cody!
Cody is a calm, distinguished gentleman looking for a cozy place to land. He found himself in rescue through no fault of his own after his owner sadly passed away. After the shelter determined he was independent enough to be rehomed separately from the other two dogs in his previous household, Cody came into our care—and now he’s ready for a quiet fresh start.
Cody is a low-key guy who knows what he likes: peace, quiet, and good company. While he can have a bit of a grumpy side when things get too busy around him, he is ultimately a chill soul who just wants a predictable, relaxing environment where he can lounge and unwind with his people.
Here’s what you need to know about Cody:
Read more about Cody
Calm & Chill: He is happiest when he can just hang out, relax, and go with the flow of a quiet home.
Dog Tolerant: He gets along fine with other well-behaved, calm pups, but he is also completely content being your one and only.
Walk Enthusiast: While he loves his downtime, Cody still enjoys getting out for a nice, pleasant walk to stretch his legs.
Ideal Home: He is looking for a tranquil environment without the hustle and bustle of small children, making an adult-only home (or one with older teens) his perfect match.
If you have a quiet home and a spot on the couch for a sweet, low-maintenance companion, Cody would love to be your new best friend. Apply to adopt Cody today!Adoption Fee $395
22. Wylie
Young (1 year 3 months) · Male · Collie / Mixed (medium coat)










Meet Wylie — the perfect age, the perfect size, and such a great boy!
Wylie is that perfect age, the best combination of young-dog fun and already knowing how to live in a home!
Wylie does pull a little on leash, but he’s a smart boy who will continue to improve with practice. His dream home would have a fenced yard and another medium-to-large pup to play with. He's not a big fan of car rides; he'll rsvp no to anything with a long car ride.
Because of his play style and energy, Wylie is not a match for cats, small dogs or other small animals.
This sweet, social guy is ready for a family who wants a fun companion to share their adventures.

23. Jake
Adult (2 years 3 months) · Male · Pointer / Mixed (medium coat)







It has been such a joy watching Jake thrive in his foster home. This sweet boy has grown in confidence, learned how wonderful life can be, and discovered that couches, cuddles and being part of a family are pretty great.
Unfortunately, as Jake has blossomed, it has become clear that he and one of his foster brothers have officially outgrown each other.
The bromance has entered its “I think we should see other roommates” era.
No scandal. No dramatic breakup. No one is talking badly about the other on social media. Sometimes two boys just decide they need a little space.
So Jake is looking for a new foster home — or, even better, his forever home.
Read more about Jake
Jake is about 2 years old and 40 lbs and is truly a sweet, gentle baby who sometimes seems to think he’s much bigger than he is. He loves to cuddle, loves to play and, when he’s happy, hops around like a bunny.
Jake has already overcome so much, and we REALLY don’t want the next stop on his journey to be boarding.

Adult (10 years 2 months) · Male · Shih Tzu / Pekingese / Mixed



Meet Max, a distinguished senior gentleman with a heart of gold and a soft spot for cozy laps!
Max is at a point in his life where he truly appreciates the finer things: warm snuggles, delicious treats, and being pampered like the king he is. While he’s happy to do a gentle patrol around the yard to stretch his paws, his absolute favorite mode of transportation is being carried around by his favorite human.
Why You’ll Fall for Max
Social Butterfly: Max hasn't met a stranger yet! He genuinely loves every person and dog he meets, making him a gentle, friendly addition to almost any home.
Read more about Max
House-Trained Habits: While rescues never make absolute guarantees, Max has been showing off his great manners and knows that "business" is meant for outside.
Treat Connoisseur: Want to win his heart forever? A small, tasty treat will make you his best friend instantly.
A Quick Health Note
Like many wonderful small-breed seniors, Max has a slight heart murmur. However, nobody told him that—he doesn't let it slow him down or dampen his sweet spirit for a second! It’s just a tiny detail in an otherwise precious package.
Could you be the safe haven this sweet boy has been searching for?
If you have a warm lap, a gentle touch, and a little extra love to give a deserving senior pup, Max is ready to lounge his way right into your heart.Adoption Fee $325

25. Gem
Adult (7 years 1 month) · Male · Shih Tzu / Mixed




Meet Gem, a sweet, affectionate boy who is ready to shine in his forever home! True to his name, Gem is a total treasure who loves nothing more than soaking up attention and rolling right over for belly rubs from anyone willing to give them. He’s an active guy who would be over the moon with a yard to explore and enjoys his daily walks—though he’s currently practicing his best leash manners when passing larger dogs along the way. Gem is a free spirit who thrives on having room to stretch his legs, so he's looking for a home where he can have free range rather than being crated or penned. He enjoys your company so much that he would do best in a home where he isn't alone for long periods of time. If you’re looking for a loving companion with a big heart and a love for life, Gem might just be your perfect match!Adoption Fee $475

Whiskey is housebroken and good with other dogs, though his play style can be a little rough. He rides well in the car and is food motivated, which can help with training.
Whiskey needs a patient home that can provide structure, consistent guidance, and crate training. A home without children or with older children would be best. His experience with cats is unknown.
Ready to help Whiskey become his best self?

Adopting a dog in Suffolk 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.
