Salem (SC)Baby · Male · Terrier / MixedNew York, NY · 6.2 miGood with kidsGood with dogs
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. At just two months old, Salem found himself stuck in a shelter with a lifethreatening obstruction. Things were dire. But this tiny mixedbreed baby had other plans. We scooped him out, rushed him to our veterinary partner, and Salem — in true Salem fashion — decided to be both dramatic and victorious. Emergency surgery? Check. Recovery underway? Check. Future looking fantastic? Absolutely. Now he’s a brighteyed, darkmuzzled, adorably expressive little guy who seems determined to make every moment count. He’s good with people, good wi…

Marlin (AL)Baby · Male · Great Pyrenees / Anatolian Shepherd / MixedNew York, NY · 6.2 miGood with kidsGood with dogs
Marlin (AL) is three months old (as of September 2026) and already has the kind of face that makes you pause, blink, and say, “Wait… is that a puppy or a tiny, furry criminal mastermind?” This sweet Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix comes equipped with perfect black rings around both eyes, giving him the vibe of a bank robber caught midgetaway… or a baby panda… or possibly a friendly ghost who hasn’t quite mastered subtlety. Despite his dramatic eye makeup, Marlin is pure goodness. He’s loving, gentle, wellmannered, and wonderfully social — the kind of pup who greets people like old friends and thinks other dogs are just bonus siblings he hasn’t met yet. He’s soft, snuggly, and has that …

Here comes Portia (GA), a five-year-old mystery mix (possibly Retriever and/or Pit Bull Terrier and/or Cane Corso!) whose most important breed is, without question, irresistible. Portia didn’t arrive at the shelter with a cute backstory or a soft landing. She came in with a collar so deeply embedded in her neck that it had to be surgically removed, a wound that tells you everything about her past and absolutely nothing about her spirit. Because somehow, despite the pain, despite the neglect, despite the fact that someone failed her so profoundly, Portia still loves. She loves people. She loves other dogs. She loves gently leaning her 69 pounds of sweetness against you like she’s trying to sa…

Cinder & Ash5 Months · Domestic Short HairBrooklyn, NY · 3 miGood with catsHouse-trained
Cinder & Ash were born in the backyard of an apartment building. Some concerned residents rescued them and brought them to our rescue. A neighbor is currently fostering the two of them, and they are getting braver every day. These two kittens are understandably terrified of people. Although they still have a long road ahead of them, they do now accept treats from their foster mom's hand. They require love and most importantly patience from a kind individual. Please note they are too young to be altered. We will work with an adopter to schedule this when the time comes.

She just has one little issue, she has a high grade heart murmur. We aren't quite sure yet what this will entail because she's still so young.

He’s 11 years old, food-motivated, and low-key. He’s not a playful cat, so he’s best suited to a laid-back home rather than one with a lot of chaos or other high-energy pets. He does have some care needs. He’s had recurring issues with constipation, so we’re hoping to find an adopter with experience managing a pet’s medical needs. His daily routine includes Royal Canin wet food, Purina Pro Plan Hydracare, and Purina Pro Plan probiotic, every day. He’s also a bit overweight at 18 lbs, so a home with room …

She enjoys climbing up wall-mounted cat poles, chasing springs, and engaging other cats to chase her or vice versa. She is infinitely curious and figures out basic treat puzzles quickly. She is a good eater with impeccable litter box habits. She will chirp for churu and greenies and run over purring for it. She equally craves human affection.

Sid2 Years 1 Month · Male · Domestic Short HairBrooklyn, NY · 3 miGood with catsHouse-trained
Meet Sid: the sweetest, most affectionate orange boy (with brains to match!) Sid spent his early days exploring the great outdoors, and now he’s discovering all the good things indoor life has to offer. Case in point: he only recently met his first Churu. A week ago he wasn’t sure what to do with one; now he’s a certified fan. Similarly, he also just discovered what a reflection in the mirror is.

He’ll come running when you call for him, greet you with VERY enthusiastic head bumps, and never say no to a good chin scratch.…

A boy called Spiderman4 Years 5 Months · Male · Domestic Short HairBrooklyn, NY · 3 miHouse-trained
Spider Man is the sweetest wild child who loves to play and roam. He loves exploring every nook and cranny to find his special place, but also is so happy cuddling with you on the couch (on his own terms). He is always on the move and loves playing with toys and the random dust particles that only he can see. A goofy boy, he never seems fully in control of his long limbs/tail and has a tendency to knock things over (sometimes by choice). He likes to say hello, but otherwise is not particularly chatty. Spider-man may take some time to adjust to small children in the home. This cat can be adopted with a friend or as a single cat. Spider Man was rescued with dental issues and had surgery. We wo…

Gracie (GA)Young · Female · Unknown breed / mixedNew York, NY · 6.2 miGood with kidsGood with dogs
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. Despite everything she has suffered, she still looks to people with hope. She still leans in for affection. She still believes that somewhere out there is a person who…
