Our Adoptable Animals
Herbert
Herbert was found tied up near the dog park at Herbert Von King park in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn. A good Samaritan noticed him and was alerting dog owners in the area. Thankfully, another person was at the park stopped by and helped out. He took Herbert in. Herbert had a noticable physical ailment. The vet said his left jaw was swollen due to trauma that may have been caused by biting something hot or a live wire. This caused his tongue, gums, cheek, and salivary glands to all fused together. He had the operation to successfully release some parts of his tongue and allow him some mobility on his jaw.
His foster, provide to helped pay for his medical procedures out of his own pocket and with the help of Team Herbert- a community of dog lovers that raised funds to help pay for the cost of his surgery.
About Herbert, he is estimated to be 2-3yrs old, 38lbs, neutered pitbull. He give you the funniest stares along with the the funniest spreads on the floor. This boy loves long walks, human interaction, and playing with other dogs. He loves belly rubs all day. He’s good with boundaries and knows basic commands such as sit, stay, paw, and off. He loves to be around his human all the tiime but isn’t needy.
Overall, a very good boy who will shadow you around, surprise you out of nowhere, and make your day, everyday!
Scrappy
Scrappy’s owner was hospitalized and was being taking care of by his owner’s family, which included 3 adults and 5 children ages 3,4, 12,14, and 15 and 1 cat. Sadly, the landlord forced the family to give up Scrappy and he was surrendered to the shelter on Jan.7 2025.
Unfortunately, Scrappy was scared and fearful in the kennels. He was listed as an At-Risk animal with a deadline of Saturday Jan 21st to be rescued. Luckily we were able to find him a foster to save his life. On the day he arrived out of the shelter, Scrappy didn’t take long to return to his old playful self and even gave us kisses!
Scrappy is a mix breed 2yr old, 50lb, unaltered male. He’s smart dog who is protective of his family, so a slow and correct introduction to strangers and unfamiliar children must be used when approaching.
Scrappy loves children! With children, he is friendly, outgoing, playful, but sometimes they can be shy and want contact on their own terms. He is friendly to house cats and loves to play with them. Outside cats, he’s not a big fan of.
By nature, Scrappy is shy, but will gradually open up when you gain his trust and reward you with kisses too! If you are looking for a new pup that wants to be part of your family, Scrappy is the one.
Rio
Rio was pulled from the shelter on Jan. 11th on the day he was to be medical euthanize due to incapabilities to treat his Parvo. We were able not only pull him but get him the treatment he needed to fight Parvo. The strong pup was able to fight it and is Parvo-Free. He does have hookworms that he is receiving treatment for but will soon recover from it.
Rio is a 6 month shepherd mix who is healthy and full of puppy energy. He loves to play with his foster siblings. He is eager to please so training is a fun part of the day for him! He is food motivated with training, understands boundaries, and structure. One of his favorite activities is rolling around with his favorite toy.
Rio is an ideal fit for anyone who is willing to keep him active physically and mentally. He’s a great pup, and will brighten up your day, every day!
Key
ey is a 2 year old,59lbs, neutered male, pittie mix surrendered to the shelter in September of 2024 by his owner. He lived with his family from when he was a puppy until then. Key is short and compact in size and has dermatitis due to underlying allergies. But other than that, he is medically fine.
Key has been an amazing pup since we pulled him from the shelter. He is crate trained, but also can be a great cuddle bug in bed. He has no resource guarding issue, respectful of your items, and boundaries. He is easy on walks, loves the outdoors, curious of other dogs and will play with them, if introduced properly.
With people, Key is amazing. It takes a second for him to gain trust in a stranger but once he feels comfortable, he will give affection, kisses, and cuddles. He’s also great with children-but we always recommend pet owners to always supervise play time and teach their children on dog behavior when they become part of the family.
Key has so much love to give and is ready to share it with you. Apply to adopt today!
