DOG ADOPTION DONATION: The donation to adopt a dog is $200 - $400. Included in dog adoptions: age appropriate vaccinations,
altering and heartworm testing (if old enough), microchipping, deworming, leash and collar with Pet Rescue name tag. If a puppy is not of age, you will be required to have
him/her altered by 6 months of age and New York State requires us to take an additional refundable $50 spay/neuter deposit. After receiving written vet confirmation from you, we will happily refund the $50 deposit.
Our website is updated daily -- if you see a dog, he/she is available. Most of our rescues live in foster homes until they are adopted and as we learn more about the dog's needs, we update their listing.

Bingo
Bingo is a beautiful male pure breed Cocker Spaniel. He's so sweet and a very happy go lucky kind of guy. He's energetic and loves people. He is very playful and likes to retrieve balls in the yard. He is quite affectionate with people and other dogs. We will only place Bingo in a home with another dog. He also must have had some basic training - he knows "sit" already.
Named in honor of the late great author J.D. Salinger, Holden, Phoebe, Zooey, Esme, Franny, and Teddy are destined for Pawlitzers. They are 3 months old and range in size from 6-11 pounds. This litter has traits of several of different breeds so your guess is as good as ours: Shitzu, Wheaton, Shepard, Dachshund. All we know is that they are sweet, sweet, sweet! Each loves to be picked up where they will snuggle up quietly for cuddles as they give endless kisses. They are active, energetic, and too fun to watch play.

Emma
Emma is a 5 year old, mixed breed who probably has some doxie in her. She weighs 35 lbs, is spayed and up to date on all vaccines. She has a beautiful shiny mahogany-red coat that is very eye catching. Emma loves fetching tennis balls, playing with toys and romping outdoors. She is definitely not a city girl and has some sensitivity to loud noises. She would probably be happiest as an only pet with attention directed to her alone (snuggles, petting, scratches and brushings are high on her list). She will reward you with warm kisses and her loyalty. Emma relaxes best in a quiet home where she would have daily walks; she loves the outdoors. Emma is looking for a new home because she was unable to adjust to the new puppy her family adopted.
Indie is a Chihuahua that is 1-2 yrs.old and about 7 lbs. She is sweet, loves to give kisses and be around humans. She is a lap dog and loves to cuddle. She is adjusting to New York's weather conditions but doesn't like the cold or heavy rain. Indie sleeps on her bed under a blanket. She is housetrained and paper trained. She gets along with the two other dogs in her foster home. Indie is a dog with a big personality, so she would not be suited for children younger than 8 years old.
Astro
Astro is a beautiful golden retriever mix, about 2 years old and 45 lbs. He is a very sweet boy.

Maggie is a 3 1/2 yo lab/pointer mix. She is smart, obedience trained and loves people but should be an only dog. She is about 75 lbs and utd on shots. She is currently living in a home but the owner just had her fourth child and doesn't have the time to devote to her. Maggie needs an experienced owner as she can be possessive of her toys. No children under 12, please. Give her an hour of exercise a day, be a strong leader, and she will be the love of your life. She should be an only dog.
Harris
Harris is a beautiful Chocolate Lab mix, about 40 lbs. He is a happy, friendly boy. Sponsored by Megan, Kim & Rachel Tutera in Honor of their brother, Eric, celebrating his 30th Birthday & his adoration for Dogs.
Ridge is a handsome 2 yr old husky/shepherd mix, about 80 lbs. He will make a great family dog -- he is loyal and good with children, but not good with other dogs. He should be an only dog. He would love to find a home with a fenced in yard where he could run and play. He is neutered, UTD on shots and house trained.

Tammy
Tammy is a beautiful 50 lb. lab mix with gorgeous markings, expressive eyes and a sweet disposition. She is about 1 year old. She will nuzzle her nose into you and loves to jump on the couch for some cuddling. She sleeps through the night gated in the kitchen without a peep. She is still very much a puppy who needs exercise and some work on basic manners, but she's smart and eager to learn. Because she is still young and excitable, she should go to a family with children under 10 years old. She loves to be around people and another dog at home would be a plus. She needs a fenced in yard or someone who will run and exercise her every day.
Scooter is very affectionate, a good cuddler, and is good on the leash. He's housebroken, not destructive, calm, gets along great with the other dog in the house, and has no separation anxiety. Other than occasional nervousness with strangers, he's an easy, very sweet dog. He's even a bit of a watchdog. While he looks part Border Collie, Scooter doesn't have the typical BC's high energy level or urge to herd. This loyal boy would make someone who has a relatively quiet, female adult-only home very happy.

Becky is not only a gorgeous purebred (we think so!) 4-5 year old, 45 lb. Siberian Husky, she is also a loving dog that needs someone to be with. She loves being outside with you, walking all over the town, riding in your car or hanging out by your feet while you work in your office! She loves being scratched and will roll on her back very easily for you. She knows her commands well, but needs some help remembering them at times. She will however, scratch at the door to go out to do her business and always lets you know. Becky is a little nervous in her new foster home and needs to be reminded that she is loved and is a good girl. She is getting along nicely with her four legged foster siblings and listens to them when they tell her what not to do! She growls a little when someone is near her food or toys, but when given positive corrections she responds well. An experienced owner, lots of exercise, a calm but stern voice, and a family who is around for her is what Becky is looking for. She has tried to run out of the house to find this so a fenced in property is a must!

Daffy
Daffy is a 1 1/2 year old Bull Terrier mix. We couldn't resist taking her in when we saw her wagging her whole body (forget just the tail) at us. This spunky, happy and outgoing little girl made sure we chose her! She does everything right: walks well on a leash, is submissive to other dogs and people, responds to a quiet correction - no yelling needed at this wonderful dog... Daffy loves people and is smart and super sweet. She is learning how to play "human games" and her favorite spot is sitting quietly on the bench next to people. Can you change this hard bench to a soft dog bed in your home?
Sally is very sweet and a true "lap dog." Her favorite place to be is at her foster mom's feet or in her arms. She is very confident and comfortable in her foster home and great with the kids in it. She loves attention! Sally is walking on a leash well, sleeps in crate through the night.

Chester
Chester is a very sweet dog who LOVES both people and other dogs. He wants nothing more than a family of his own to follow everywhere. True to his breed, he is extremely playful, smart, and inquisitive so he will need a strong owner to keep his body and mind occupied to keep him out of trouble. Chester is a very quick study at obedience and has mastered heal, sit, come, stay, down, and to give his paw in record time, however, continued training is a must! Before applying for Chester, please read up on the breed and make sure it fits with your lifestyle: Click here

Boanne is a lovely 2 yr old, female Lab/Schnauzer mix, approximately 50 lbs. She is a sweet girl that loves to cuddle, she thinks she's a lap dog, but is a bit big for that! She gets along great with the other dogs in her foster home and will be good with children as well. She enjoys playing with chew toys, walks well on a leash and is a fast learner. She already knows how to 'sit' for a treat. She is housetrained and will make a great family pet. Boanne would be happiest in a home where she is the only dog receiving all of the attention.
Cupcake
This beautiful Setter/Border Collie mix is about 38 lbs and 1 year old. She loves to go for walks, gets along great with dogs of all sizes and loves going to the dog park. She is young, exuberant and playful and, because of this, she would do best in a home with children 8 and over. She will need some basic training as she is strong on leash, but knows some basic commands and calms down nicely at home. Cupcake is a sweet, wonderful dog with a heart of gold!

Butch is an adorable little spunky Chihuahua; 2 years old and 6 pounds. He is a little love bug and loves to hang out in his foster mom's lap and to get carried around outside to meet new people. He will also quietly curl up on his blanket and nap. He sleeps through the night in his crate, and is doing well with housetraining. Butch travels well in the car. Great dog for apartment dwellers or in a small home!

After carefully researching dog breeds and comparing Dylan's physical attributes and personality to AKC descriptions we have determined that he is Lhasa Apso all the way. He fits the physical characteristics in all areas - size, coat, stance, coloring, and certainly the personality. Dylan is smart (follows all basic commands), loyal and protective of his family. He is the most cuddly and affectionate of dogs to "his people". He loves to go for long walks and strenuous hikes as well as running around the dog park. He is very easy to walk on leash and stays with the pack off leash on hikes. He is being fostered in a home with six other dogs of all sizes and gets along fine with them. He shares his food and his toys. He is perfect in the car, enjoying the ride and the view of passing scenery. He loves to go everywhere with his foster family and is the first one to the door when he hears the jingle of keys. Also true to his breed he is "the sentinel". Lhasas had been bred to be the guard dogs for the Tibetan Buddist monasteries. He rarely barks but when he does it has the deep sound of a much larger breed. Dylan will do best in an adult home where he can be exercised and given challenging tasks to learn. He likes to be on the go with his family as well. Dylan is totally housebroken and past the chewing stage. He is 6 1/2 years old.

Lucy
Courtesy Listing - Apply for this dog directly.
This is a courtesy listing; Pet Rescue has not met this dog Lucy is a gorgeous 9 month old, 25-30 lb. beagle mix whose family did not have enough time for her. She loves kisses and hugs and is a fun and playful puppy. Her favorite pastime is running full speed outside chasing squirrels or anything that moves! A fenced in yard would be perfect for her to get her fill of exercise! She loves to be with other dogs, but may be better with dogs at least her size as she loves to tackle and play. She may chase cats as the beagle in her says she should! She is house-trained. She has been raised on dry food only and would love an active home with older children who can tolerate her hugs and kisses!! If you would like to meet Lucy, please contact Patty at 255-5331.
Toby is a 6 month old Shepherd mix and is around 35 lbs. He is very gentle and has a wonderful disposition. He already knows some commands and is eager to learn more. He really wants to do the right thing. He is playful, but not hyper and loves going to the dog park. He is just a dream pup.

Hi everyone-meet a little "ANGEL"...We named her this because she came to us through a great deal of divine intervention. ANGEL was dumped at a cemetery in East Flatbush...left to die in the cold. Based on the people in the neighborhood, they determined she had been out there a few weeks. With the help of a wonderful animal lover who oversees at the cemetery, we were able to catch her. She has been to the vet and he determined her to be about one year old. She is very sweet. She needs a calm loving person who can help her to trust people again. She should be the only animal so she can be given the individual love and attention she needs. If you can open your heart to this little ANGEL I promise you will receive many blessings. Please email Michelle at angeliquemarlowe8@gmail.com or call 646-528-4234
Cody is a beautiful, sweet Lab/Ridgeback mix. He is a well-mannered boy who doesn't pull and walks nicely on leash. He's a definite leaner. He does not belong in the shelter and because of that, he is a little reserved at first but will thrive when he has a family. Once he is comfortable with you, he will jump up to give you a kiss on the lips. He has big, sad dreamy eyes and deserves a wonderful home! This is a courtesy for the Mt Vernon shelter; please contact Ellen if you are interested in giving this sweet boy a home: 917-543-6092.
Tank
Tank is a beautiful Merle Aussie mix, about 8-10 months old and around 30 lbs. He's a little on the shy side, but with lots of love and a little time, he will come out of his shell.

Daisy is very outgoing and friendly. She is about 1 year old and 8.5 lbs. She is a real snuggler and would make a great therapy dog. She loves to be around people and loves to meet new people. She is not great with other dogs since she becomes possessive of her mommy or daddy and growls at other dogs if they come up to "her people." She seems to be housebroken and loves to go for a nice walk.

He just loves to chase that ball! He is also fascinated by toys that squeak and can entertain himself for long periods of time figuring out new angles to get things to squeak! Fetch is a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, a fairly mellow dude who enjoys a good cuddle and soft praise but when it comes time for play he is the ever ready dog! If you want a kind and entertaining friend, Fetch is your guy!

Buddy
Buddy is an adorable beagle/chi mix. He is a beautiful dog with soulful eyes and floppy ears. He is definitely a lap dog and is happiest curled up on lap or getting his belly rubbed. He sleeps through the night curled up to another dog or his foster parents. He is a very calm dog but enjoys his outings around the neighborhood or to the park. BJ is great on a leash and in the car. He is living with other dogs and cats and gets along with all. He can be a little growly when meeting new dogs on his walks or off leash in the park but backs off quickly. He is still trying to figure out his new surroundings but appears to be housebroken and well past the chewy stage. He is about 15 pounds, less than 2 years old and is fully grown. BJ has been neutered, micro-chipped and is up to date on all of his vaccinations.

Taffy's Puppies: Taffy's 5 puppies are a pile of puppy love. They are sweet, energetic, and playful. They love to play with their toys, each other and explore the yard. Most often they can be found shoulder to shoulder, whether running around the playroom, charging around the yard or sleeping in a pile with paws intertwined and noses nuzzling ears. There is one male in this group - one of the blonde ones. It is difficult to tell the others apart, except of course the black and brown female. She is definitely one of the siblings, just a little unique. This group is paper trained and can go through the night without a peep.

Cricket looks like a miniature labrador retriever mix, but at 2 years old, she is full grown at only 30 pounds. She is just a sweetheart that wants lots of attention and prefers to stay close by to cuddle. Cricket seems to already be house trained and walks well on the leash (for the most part). She is an observant passenger when riding in the car and gets along with everyone including cats. Cricket is working on being braver and is opening up a little more each day. She warms up pretty quickly as long as you will give her lots of love.

Foster a Dog!
Thinking of adopting but not sure you are ready for the commitment? Want to save a life and be rewarded in wagging tails and kisses? Try fostering and become a part of Westchester Magazine's Best Animal Rescue Group 2008.
Pet Rescue does not have a shelter and relies entirely on the generosity of foster homes to care for our dogs. The number of foster homes we have dictates the number of dogs we can save. There are always more waiting for rescue.
The average foster lasts just a couple of weeks and all dogs are screened for health and temperament. We provide basic supplies, veterinary care, and guidance. You provide love, training and a home. It is the care and attention given by foster families which allow Pet Rescue to expertly match our dogs with prospective families.
If you live in Westchester or Southern Fairfield counties and would be willing to care for a foster dog, please submit an application. Fostering is a fun and immensely rewarding experience! Click here to see how much love you get from being a foster parent!
Email us with any questions or for more information.
Misty is an adorable Wirehaired Terrier mix, about 1 year old and 18 lbs. She is on the shy side and needs some help coming out of her shell, but you can tell there is a sweet playful girl in there just waiting to feel comfortable enough to come out. She needs a gentle, loving & calm home; one with another canine friend to show her the ropes would be best.
