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.

Puppy · Female · Hound / Mixed · 25 mi from Yonkers




Praline’s foster was filling out her update when she looked down to find this sweet girl sleeping between her feet, using one as a pillow. That’s Praline.

But when those puppy eyes get sleepy, she’ll tuck herself beside you and settle in like there’s nowhere else she’d rather be. Praline has been sharing her foster home with a dog and two cats, and she did wonderfully with the children in her previous foster home.
Read more about Praline
She adores people, loves other dogs, and would be thrilled to have a playful canine friend. With the cats, she’s curious and respectful, perfectly happy to let them do their own thing. Praline already knows “sit” and “touch,” is learning her name, and takes her training very seriously when treats are involved. She’s making steady progress with puppy pads, getting comfortable in her crate, and learning her puppy manners with a family cheering her on. Her foster calls her “honestly a great puppy,” and we couldn’t be happier watching her grow. Praline is looking for a family who will make time for play, help her keep learning, and always leave a little room beside them for a girl who loves this much. Apply to adopt Praline at rescuecity.nyc.

Meet Salem (SC) — the honeycolored, darkeyed little miracle who has already lived through the kind of plot twist most puppies only hear about in bedtime stories.

Come meet this charming guy and let Hatha steal your heart! The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets! Walk-ins are welcome! In order to interact with them, you’ll need a simple questionnaire filled out. You can fill this out at the Rescue or before you come in at: https://www.pawscrossedny.org/dog-adoption-questionnaire . If you have any questions, please email us at adoptions@pawscrossedny.org for more information. Please understand that we cannot hold pets for any reason. All adoptions are done on a first come, first adopt basis for pre-approved applicants. The Shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.

Adopting a puppy in Yonkers
Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.
Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
