Adopt a Rescue Dog

We believe ALL DOGS deserve access to fresh food. The Adoption Project feeds thousands of rescue dogs across the nation in an effort to provide the most vulnerable pups with the life-saving nutrition they need to thrive! Here are some furry faces searching for their new homes. 

Snowman

3 years, 25 lbs, Male Pug Mix

Snowman was found as a stray before coming to the rescue. We can’t be certain what his life was like before, but it seems like it’s been a while since he’s felt kindness from humans. He’s timid with introductions, but if you’re calm and patient with him, he’ll warm up and become relaxed and comfortable around you in no time! He loves cuddling and receiving belly rubs from the people he’s deemed trustworthy. Snowman seems to prefer women to men and isn’t very warm to strangers. Snowy isn’t a fan of loud, sudden noises so he would do best in a calm home without small children. He is a very sweet and gentle boy once he’s able to collect his bearings. Snowy does well with other dogs and loves to play with his stuffed animals. We aren’t sure what Snowy’s mixed with, but there’s some suspicion he’s part Corgi due to his large chest and short legs. Whatever his mix is, he’s 100% perfect in our eyes and we hope you see it too! Please inquire today if you’re interested in Snowman!

Crystal

4 years, 50 lbs, Male Korean Jindo

Crystal is ready for love! His past is a mystery. He was found by the good citizens of Sunnyside, Queens a few weeks ago, and police sent him to @nycacc. No one came to claim this sweet boy, but with the help of @rescuecity, we pulled him out, and now his future is filled with hope. Crystal's adoption fee is sponsored by a generous donor; this sweet, calm, and resilient boy can light up your life with his gentle presence and heartwarming smile. Crystal, with his lovable demeanor and willingness to learn, is looking for a special home. While he is good with basic commands and making progress every day, he will benefit from some socialization training to help him become his best self around other dogs. He's an ideal companion for an adult-only household and would thrive as the only pet, where he can receive all the attention and love he deserves. He’s reserved at first, but with patience and a few days of adjustment, his joyful personality shines! A Lifetime of Joy and Companionship Awaits: Crystal’s perfect curly Jindo tail and endearing personality are sure to capture your heart. He’s not just a dog; he’s a friend waiting to share in life’s quiet moments and adventures with you! If you’re ready to open your heart and home to Crystal, he promises a lifetime of loyalty and affection.

Wee Bey

14 years, 6 lbs, Male Chihuahua

How do you physically describe Wee Bey? Like you asked a 7th grader to draw a dog. It’s very good, but the proportions are a little off, and it’s a bit goofy looking. Perfection nonetheless! How do you describe his personality? Sweet baby angel. He is just waiting to be your next best friend. He’s extremely polite, affectionate and full of love. He’ll gladly sit snuggled up next to you in bed or on the couch, but also knows when it’s time to leave you alone when you need to work. He would be fine as an only dog or with others. He is potty trained and sleeps through the night! Low-mid energy level, which is perfect for most lifestyles. He doesn’t need much exercise. He’s seriously the best little guy!

Ivy

3.5 years, 55 lbs, Female Pit Bull Terrier

Ivy is an incredibly affectionate, medium-energy dog. She hasn't met a human she doesn't love. Ivy is house-trained, crate-trained, and good on leash. She likes playing with toys, is smart, cuddly, and eager to please. She is still learning to be confident and comfortable around other dogs so (for now anyway) we believe she would do best as an only-dog or paired with a calm, older male dog about her size. No cats please.

Flo

10 years, 50 lbs, Female Pit Bull Terrier

Hello, best friends! My name is Flo and I am one of the happiest, most lovable dogs you’ll ever meet. I’m a 10 year old pit bull weighing in at about 50 pounds. Due to an old injury I had to get my eye removed, but it’s healing very nicely and doesn’t slow me down at all! In fact, the people at Wags say it makes me even more beautiful. I’m a goofy, friendly girl and am a total couch potato. My foster parents say I’m ‘one of the laziest dogs you’ll ever meet’. I love spending time with my humans no matter what we’re doing! I also enjoy playing with toys, basking in the sun and being swaddled with a blanket. I’m crate trained, potty trained and walk nicely on leash with a confident handler. I’m a super special girl and I know I’ll keep you smiling and laughing if you take me home forever. I’ll do best as the only dog in the home. I’m healthy, up to date on vaccinations, spayed and microchipped.

Pika

12 years, 9 lbs, Male Yorkie/Chihuahua Mix

Pika's personality can be described as a cat in a dog's body. He is beautiful but only allows you to pet him on his terms, which is rarely. He grumbles & growls when affection is unwanted and retreats to his crate. He loves laying in the shade. Pika will tolerate other dogs in the house but will go after outsiders on or off leash. He takes medication for allergies and has a collapsing trachea. Pika is potty trained but still needs a belly band indoors to avoid occasional marking. He will do best in a quiet, serene setting so not to aggravate his cough by barking. He has lameness in his back legs which cause him to occasionally stumble and fall when walking. For his age, Pika has good pep and will bring cat joy in dog form for many more years.

Peggy Sue

8 years, 12 lbs, Female Maltipoo Mix

Peggy Sue was unrecognizable when she was first brought to the shelter… She was covered in so much matting and filth that she barely looked like a dog. Upon shaving her, the staff at OC Animal Care discovered deformities and/or old injuries to all four of her legs. We knew we had to help her and promised to give her the happily-ever-after she deserves. She has been seen by the orthopedic surgeon at Rise Pet Health, received surgery to remove the painful parts of her legs, and is now being fitted for custom made prosthetics. In the meantime, she loves to go on stroller walks and play fetch on soft surfaces with her foster host.
