New York City and the Tri-state Area

Potato

Dog on leash

Potato is hoping to borrow some kisses — but he promises to give them back! This handsome dog is as cool as a cucumber and quite the charmer when there’s new people to meet — he knows his friends will give him lots of pets and snuggles! He’s looking for a home where he can keep his body and his mind active with fun activities and training. He’s a very clever pup who is always eager to learn new things and solve puzzle toys with hidden treats. To meet our wonderful couch Potato, head over to his profile!

Baxter

Baxter believes in love at first sniff! Baxter is a big guy with a gentle soul and can be found frolicking around town with his favorite unicorn stuffy in his mouth. He takes his sweet time getting to know people, but once he’s all comfy, he blossoms into the most loyal and affectionate friend you could ask for. He adores gentle pets, scratches and peaceful walks where he can enjoy your company one-on-one. Baxter’s heart is as big as he is! Are you ready to add a new big best friend to your family? Check out Baxter’s profile to adopt him!

Eggshell

Cat sitting on blanket in box

Eggshell is “feline great” about finding a connection this Valentine’s Day! This girl plays hard to get by keeping a low profile and staying under the radar in new surroundings, but she’s already coming out of her shell here at the Adoption Center — pun intended! She will greet you with quiet little chirps and will follow a trail of treats out from her hidey spot to show off her playful side. With time and gentle patience, Eggshell will blossom into a cherished member of your family. Ready to make it official? Check out Eggshell’s profile to learn more about adopting her!


Los Angeles

Angelito

This kitten is smitten with you! Meet Angelito, an angel in the form of a cat! This adorable boy may take some time to warm up to his new digs, but the wait is worth it. Once he’s comfortable, he’ll happily show his true colors, asking for pets and chin scratches. Angelito had all his teeth surgically removed due to a condition known as stomatitis, so he only eats soft food and treats. Our Adoption team will be happy to share his medical history and expected future care with you. Ready to give Angelito his dream home? Check out his profile to learn more about adopting him!


Columbus, Ohio

Viktor

Viktor’s fur is made out of boyfriend material! This fun-loving, friendly pup has earned the playful nickname “Uncle Vik” and has been thriving on the care and attention of his people. He’s a star player in doggy playgroups — he has top-notch social skills — and has even served as a “helper dog” with young puppies to help them gain confidence in their new environment. Viktor is the best of both worlds as he also loves to curl up in laps and snuggle. He’s also very smart and knows commands like ‘sit,’ ‘down’ and ‘shake’. Ready to bring your new best friend home?  Visit Viktor’s profile to learn more about adopting him!

Radio

Radio thinks you look quite fetching! A gentle, loving pup, Radio is eager to turn the dial and find the home of his dreams! He craves affection and is ready to be your faithful companion. His favorite way to spend the day is with his head on your lap, getting lots of belly rubs and pets. He has a playful side too, and he enjoys running and playing with his toys. Will you respond to Radio’s call? Visit his profile to find out how to adopt him!

Guppy

Guppy might be petite, but he’s got a whole ocean of love to give! Guppy is a 1-year-old with a heart full of love and a playful spirit. He’s social, excitable and loves playing with other dogs, especially in chase and interactive play. Guppy is looking for his second chance at a loving home. He’s a sweet and goofy boy who will bring endless joy to any family willing to give him the love and care he deserves. Want to adopt Guppy?

Horse in green pasture

Mischief

Horse in pasture

Mischief wants to ride off into the sunset with you! Mischief is a sweet 3-year-old who is willing to learn and ready for someone to give her a job. Mischief would thrive in the hands of an experienced rider due to her young age, but she is very willing on the ground or in the saddle. Mischief is still very green due to her being off the track at such a young age but has shown extensive progress in just a few weeks of training. If you’re ready to bring Mischief home, visit her profile to learn more about adopting her!
