This beautiful senior girl is Sammi. Her guardians could no longer care for her and surrendered her to the city shelter.

Here is Sammi at the Holiday Photo Shoot. Doesn't she look adorable in her Christmas attire?

Sammi is a senior, she has a wonderful personality and is a gentle and loving dog. She was a little confused and sad because she lost her family, but she was very lucky when a family asked to foster her. That family contacted us to ask for assistance finding Sammi a home. We were happy to help and anxious to meet this sweet dog. Being in a foster home was so helpful to us. Sammi officially joined our group shortly after, but remained in her foster home.

Just a few days later we received an inquiry from a family that was looking to help a senior dog. We knew from the first phone call that this was going to be Sammi’s new home, but we had to follow procedure.

Since Sammi’s foster home was a distance away we arranged to meet half way. Sammi hopped in our car and we drove her out to Brooklyn to meet the family that was interested in her. Sammi did not do well in the car at all, she gets very car sick. Once we got to the home Sammi was excited to meet the family. Everyone loved her. We agreed to bring her back the following weekend.

Looking sad and feeling car sick.

Sammi felt so comfortable and really enjoyed meeting her soon to be new mom.

Sammi came back to Queens with us that afternoon. We wanted to spend some quality time with her before returning her to her foster home.

Sammi enjoyed walking through the park and we enjoyed getting to know her.

One week later we drove Sammi to the home to start the Foster to Adopt Program. Sammi was so comfortable and happy to be back with the family. We received lots of updates and pictures. We planned to return one month later to do a final adoption.

Due to the pandemic Sammi’s adoption was delayed several months. We finally arranged a visit. We weren't sure if Sammi would remember us, but we knew she did when she came running over to us with a big smile on her face.

Such a sweet dog!

Look at that happy face.

Here is Sammi with her new mom and dad. We enjoyed visiting Sammi and look forward to lots of happy updates.

Rex is a 10-year-old Chocolate Lab. He has been with his dad since he was a pup. He is well behaved and just an all around good natured dog. His dad has been having lots of medical and personal problems that is preventing him for giving Rex proper care.

Here we are driving Rex out to Long Island. We had a home in mind for him with an adult male and his senior father, who was desperate for a companion.

Rex was a little nervous on the ride out to Long Island. He had only met us once before and we were taking him away from the only home he knew.

Rex felt more relaxed when he saw the huge backyard. He found a ball and started running around and enjoying himself.

The family liked Rex and wanted to begin the foster to adopt program. Here we are saying goodbye to Rex.

We got daily updates and after a few weeks we were on our way out to Long Island to complete the adoption. Here is Rex the day of his adoption.

Rex was very happy to see us and very proud of his new home.

We were very happy to see how well Rex had adjusted in just a few weeks.

Rex was all smiles and seemed very happy.
He is a wonderful companion to the senior father, who recently lost his wife.

After seeing a plea for help on Facebook we inquired about Fudgie. We agreed to help her.

We took Fudgie to the park so we could spend some quality time with her.

Fudgie enjoyed another day in the park before going to Manhattan to meet her Foster Mom and co-foster dad.

If it were not for 2 great foster homes this rescue would not have been possible. Fudgie was lucky to have 2 very caring people looking after her and sharing the responsibility. Fudgie was not the easiest dog, she had some issues, but her foster parents didn't let that stop them from doing all they could to see her through until the right home came along.

Lots of people came to meet Fudgie but for one reason of another it was not the right match. Finally, the perfect couple took an interest in Fudgie and we couldn't wait to meet them. Here we are in Manhattan taking Fudgie to meet the couple.

Fudgie was treated to a grooming by Laverne of Downtown Grooming by Laverne. She did a wonderful job making Fudgie feel comfortable and look beautiful.

Finally after several meetings Fudgie was ready to move in with her soon to be new parents. After fostering her for 1 month they expressed interest in officially adopting Fudgie.

We all got together to witness the signing of the adoption papers!! It was a fun night and Fudgie got to see all her old friends again.

Here is Fudgie enjoying her new life!!!

Lola is an adorable, wiggly and super affectionate 10 ½ -month-old Pit Bull Terrier. Lola is a typical puppy that wants to run and play. She loves to play with other friendly dogs. We’re not sure how she is around cats because of her experience with them.

Lola was rescued from the Bronx. She was just a baby when she was purchased from a pet shop. As Lola grew older and more active, she was kept in a crate for many hours at a time and severely neglected. Her family also had a bunch of cats that would sit on top of her crate and urinate on her. Lola has some scratches and fur missing throughout her body, possibly from the cats! It took 3 baths to get the smell of urine off her. We can only imagine what this puppy has been through.

Lola is now in our care. She will be spayed soon and will then be ready for adoption. Meanwhile, Lola will be given the best of care and lots of love and attention.

After Lola was spayed she was lucky to have a foster home to recover in. There were several people interested in adopting her, but for one reason or another none of the homes worked out. Her foster mom was limited to the time she could keep her so we began to look for another foster home.

Through networking with other members we were able to find 2 great foster homes, both in Manhattan. This couldn’t have worked out better for Lola. Foster dad 1 was going on vacation in a few weeks but Foster Dad 2 was willing to take Lola in to see how his French Bulldog and Lola got along. If things went well he would continue to foster Lola, and if not, she would return to Foster dad 1 when he returned from vacation.

We are happy to say that Lola and Bindi did well together and with a little basic training and discipline, she was able to remain in her foster home that eventually became her new home. Lola’s foster dad fell in love with Lola and was determined to make her part of the family. Lola was officially adopted soon after and we were there for the celebration! Lola’s dad was thankful for all the people that cared for Lola before she came into his life so he invited them to join the celebration.

Lola’s new dad had a beautiful dog friendly cake made especially for Lola and Bindi to enjoy while celebrating Lola’s adoption.

This sad old man is Frankie. He has been with his family since he was only weeks old. The family business keeps Frankie's family busy, leaving very little time to spend with him.

Frankie was left alone for 12+ hours a day. The family decided that it was best to find Frankie a new home with someone that could give him a better life.

We offered to help find Frankie a new home, and boy did he get one. This picture of Frankie was taken the night he left his home and went to a new one. It started out as a foster. We wanted to be sure that the pets in the family would like Frankie, and they did.

Each day got better for Frankie. He started to eat more and put on weight. His body was filling out nicely.

It wasn't long before Frankie was officially adopted. Here he is with a new toy in his new bed.

Frankie is a wonderful dog with so much love to give. He is happy again and feeling loved.

The smile on Frankie's face says it all. He is one happy boy!

Hope is a 7-yr-old pitbull. She was found on the streets of the S. Bronx. Her rescuer took her home and is fostering her, however, she lives on the 4th floor of an apt. building that does not have an elevator and Hope has difficulty climbing past the 2nd floor. This wonderful, friendly and loveable dog needs a home with little or no steps to climb.

Hope loves everyone and loves to give kisses. She is fine with dogs, cats and kids. She is housebroken and tells you she has to go potty by making a cute noise that sounds like Roo-Roo Hope walks nice on a leash, she does not pull at all. She is a very quiet and easy going dog

We took Hope to a big adoption event in July called Broadway Barks. Our volunteer that handled her for the day offered to foster her and help find her a home, or perhaps give her a home if they were a good match together.

After networking with friends, someone inquired about Hope and it was a perfect match. After many phone calls we arranged to bring Hope to her new Foster / Adopt Home. We had a great time driving her upstate and loved seeing her in a nice home with a big back yard.

A picture from Hope's Foster mom.

One month later we drove upstate to do the final adoption, and of course to visit Hope. It gave us such a good feeling to see that she was happy and well adjusted in her new surroundings.

After receiving several calls for help about a “puppy” German Shepherd, we offered to post the dog to help the family find her a new home. Due to a language barrier, it was difficult to communicate properly with the family. They sent us the most adorable photos and description of a very adoptable puppy.

We began receiving tons of inquires so we arranged to meet this adorable puppy in person to see what home would be best for her. What we saw was a full-grown dog sitting in a crate with wee wee pads around her! When she was let out of the crate she began barking and circling us. It was clear to see that she had not been socialized properly.

We decided to take her into rescue after a fellow rescuer met her and felt he could help her get over her fears. We continued to receive applications, but knew she wasn’t yet ready to be adopted. Laysha feared new people, especially men. Her first reaction was to go for their hand. It was obvious she had been hit by the men in her previous home.

Laysha was a beautiful dog!

We spent a lot of time getting to know Laysha and she felt a lot more comfortable with us.

We loved spending time with Laysha.

As we got to know her better we began to see a very sweet and innocent dog that just needed good training and exposure to kind people. It took some time and lots of training by our friend John, but slowly Laysha began to come around - and so did the perfect home.

Laysha and Doreen share the same birthday - October 22!

Finally, the perfect home came along. Zulma did a quick grooming before he headed to New Rochelle.

This was the first time she met her new brother Moose. They hit it off and enjoyed playing together. She came back home with us that day and we arranged for the next meeting.

Lasyha went to her new home shortly after. It still took a lot of training to keep her under control, but her new family loved her so much they were determined to make her part of the family. One month later Laysha was officially adopted.

We rescued Piglet from the Brooklyn Animal Care and Control Shelter in July 2018. Piglet was just 8-weeks-old when he was given to his guardian as a gift from a family member that purchased him from a breeder.

He was surrendered to the shelter when his guardian could no longer care for him.

Piglet was so adorable when we took him to our home, he ran around wanting to meet the other pets and was so excited to be around people.

Piglet attended a big adoption event with us called Broadway Barks. We hoped to find him a wonderful home, but everyone that stopped to meet him didn't want to adopt a senior dog.

Piglet enjoyed meeting new people that day, but was happy to return to his foster home with his foster day.

PIglet was adopted by his foster dad and now lives with his best friend Chico, who was also rescued from the Brooklyn Animal Control Shelter a few years before. They boys are best friends and very happy living together.

Meet Shorty, an adorable Dachshund who is approximately 10-12 years old.  At 4-years old, Shorty was handed to a boy by a total stranger that he met at a pet store. Shorty was adopted by the boy’s family and formed a very deep and special bond with the father of the house.

Last year, the father passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a grieving family. Due to the closeness between Shorty and the dad, this sweet senior has taken the loss especially hard.

After the father’s passing, the family began to have financial problems and ended up losing their home.  They moved in with a friend, and Shorty was confined in the mud room where he became lonely and depressed. The family the moved to an apt that did not allow pets. They could not find a home for Shorty, so we stepped in to help.

Shorty had been terribly neglected. Our vet had to extract 9 teeth and remove a large tumor from his body. He did very well and was on his way to recovering.

Shorty attended a big adoption event with us called Broadway Barks. He wore a long t-shirt to cover his wounds. Everyone admired Shorty and came over to meet him, but not many were interested in adopting him because of his age. But then, a couple that happened to be in Manhattan seeing a Broadway Show spotted him and fell in love with him. Shorty looked just like their previous dog that they were still mourning. It was love at first sight and the perfect match.

Here is Shorty the day we took him to his new home.

He was very quiet in the car, but as soon as we arrived at his new home, he jumped up and looked out the window.

Here he is checking out the new backyard.

His dad bought him lots of new accessories, like a comfy bed, a car seat and so much more.

It's great to see Shorty in a loving home again.
