Summer is here, and these pups are ready to hit the beach! Though they may prefer to stay indoors and chill in the air conditioning, instead! Either way, when you adopt one of these dogs, they will feel happy and loved just hanging out by your side.
The ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City has many wonderful dogs available for adoption, and we hope that the ones below catch your eye!

This big guy lives up to his name! El Gigante is as large as he is sweet and affectionate. He loves people just as much as other dogs, and he is an all-star in our doggy playgroup. He has both an adventurous side and a snuggly side – whichever best suits your mood! He is looking for an adopter who can handle his size and strength and will continue his leash training so that he can become his best doggy self. Is your home the one that Gigante has been waiting for? Head over to his profile to find out more about him!
If you aren’t able to adopt in the tri-state area, but you’re still interested in finding your beach buddy, there are lots of other amazing companions available at our locations in Weaverville, North Carolina, Columbus, Ohio and Los Angeles! You can also check out your local shelter or visit our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC!
If you aren’t ready for the lifelong commitment of adoption, but you’re able to open your home temporarily, you can still make a huge impact for dogs and cats in need by becoming a foster caregiver! You can foster for the ASPCA in Columbus, Ohio, Weaverville, North Carolina, New York City and Los Angeles (cat fosters only).
