Story
Meet Biscut! Small in size but big on charm, Biscut is a sweet, housetrained pup who’s ready to find a family of his own. He’s good with cats, enjoys the company of some dogs more than others, and would do best in a home with older children. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with lots of love to give, Biscut may be the perfect match. If this dog is located at our Manhattan Adoption Center, head in to meet them and see if you are a match! We are a same-day adoption center, and an application does not put you on a list or hold an animal for you. If they are in Wantagh or in a foster home, please submit an online application and our team will reach out to further discuss the adoption process. Prior to adoption, all of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and given their age-appropriate vaccines.

Story
Hello, I`m Fiji! I`m dreaming of a loving forever home where I can spend my days relaxing and snuggling with my people. I`m told I have a bit of a sad-looking face, but don`t let that fool you; once we meet, I`ll be asking for pets and wiggling up a storm! Being on the mellower side, I`m pretty easy to handle on lead, and I think I`d be happy with a couple outings a day -- you`ll get no demands for a daily five-mile hike from me. I`ll admit I can be a little protective of my favorite things, so I`d prefer a home without children, but I could be open to a respectful canine companion as long as we meet first. If it sounds like I could be the right match for you, then come on down and meet me today!

Story
🐾 Meet Sadie — a tiny sweetheart with a BIG heart! 🐾 Sadie is a 5-year-old, 16-pound bundle of love who is ready to find her forever family. ❤️ Her foster says she’s nothing short of a “perfect angel” — and it’s easy to see why! Sadie may be a little shy when she first meets you, but give her a little time and she warms up quickly. Once she feels comfortable, she’s all about love, cuddles, and being by your side. 🥰 ✨ Things to love about Sadie: 🐶 Dog friendly 🐱 Cat friendly 🧸 Loves playing fetch with her favorite toy duck 💕 Professional cuddle buddy 🏡 Fully potty trained 🌙 Sleeps through the night in her crate Sadie is a happy girl who can’t wait to see her people again — she literally springs with excitement when you come home! 🥹 She may have a little to say when she first goes into her crate, but she settles quickly and is quiet once she’s comfortable. Her foster hasn’t had the chance to see how she does with kids, so we recommend a proper introduction with any children in the home. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle companion who will fill your home with love, cuddles, and a little playful energy, Sadie may be your perfect match. ❤️ Apply today and give this little angel the forever home she deserves! 🏡✨

Story
Molly is a beautiful, 4-year-old Black Mouth Cur who is very loving to and protective of her family. She is very alert, very smart, and doesn't miss a trick! She loves playing with her "cousin" dog, riding in the car, going on walks, running free, snuggling, being petted, playing with toys, being in the yard and figuring things out. Because of family circumstances, I had to take over sole care of Molly in 2025, but I am no longer able to care for her on my own, as I have heart, back and shoulder issues. At 63, it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to manage her and take her for walks on my own, as she is very strong. So, she spends a lot of time in the back yard, usually, on a tether. She is a wonderful dog, but she has food aggression with other dogs, and difficulties w/ strange dogs or other animals, as she has anxiety issues. I feel she would really thrive with a family that had some land, or on a farm. She is a hunter and would love to run free... but will always come back!
