Meet Remy #MA3870 🐾

At just 5 years old, this Terrier mix has already lived through heartbreak. She was found emaciated and all alone, running along Rockaway Beach, until an FDNY paramedic rushed to her rescue. From that moment, her journey of healing began... from emergency care to the love she’s now receiving at our adoption center. 💙

Remy is looking for a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe and loved. She’ll shine with an experienced adopter who can give her gentle guidance, patience, and plenty of space to run and play. Remy’s dream is to be someone’s one and only, soaking up all the love and attention she’s been waiting for. 🐾

If you can open your heart and home to this brave, resilient girl, she’s ready to give you her whole heart in return. 💕

💔 Dutchess is ready for her next chapter. Could it be with you?

Dutchess #IR1490 knows what it means to have a home and someone to love. Rescued from Antigua in October 2023, this beautiful 3-year-old Ridgeback mix was adopted almost immediately at one of our Mobile Adoption Events. She spent nearly three wonderful years with her person before unexpected housing circumstances brought her back into our care.

Now, Dutchess is adjusting to a big change she never expected. While she waits for a new family, we're getting to know the sweet, affectionate girl who has so much love left to give. ❤️

Dutchess is housebroken, crate-trained, LOVES people, and has enjoyed the company of other dogs. She can be a little shy when meeting someone new, but give her time to feel comfortable and you'll see her loving personality shine. A meet-and-greet is recommended for any potential canine siblings.

She's looking for an experienced home with children over 8 who will respect her gentle nature. A quieter neighborhood would be ideal, giving Dutchess the chance to settle in, feel secure, and enjoy all the comforts of home again.

Dutchess has already shown what a wonderful companion she can be. Now, she's hoping someone will look past the fact that she's back at the shelter and see all the love, loyalty, and companionship she has to offer. 🐾

💕 Ready to give Dutchess her fresh start? Visit our Port Washington, NY Adoption Center to meet Dutchess #IR1490. Her next chapter is waiting to be written, and she'd love for you to be part of it. #GetYourRescueOn #AdoptDutchess

🎾💙 Meet Kevin (#G28326) 💙🎾

Kevin is only 3 years old, but heartbreakingly, he's never had a family to call his own.

After being rescued from Georgia in February 2024, Kevin has spent more than two years waiting for the life every dog deserves. While countless other dogs have found their forever homes, Kevin is still watching and waiting, hoping someone will finally choose him.

Recently, Kevin had the chance to experience life outside the shelter in a foster home and he absolutely blossomed! He settled in beautifully, never had a single accident in the house, and showed everyone just how adaptable, loving, and eager to learn he truly is. It was a glimpse of the dog Kevin has always been beneath the stress of shelter life.

Now Kevin is back at our Adoption Center, and while he's handling it the best he can, we know where he truly belongs. He deserves soft beds, peaceful evenings instead of barking dogs, and a family to come home to every day.

Kevin is a big, goofy sweetheart with an endless love for tennis balls (he somehow manages to carry multiple at once 😂🎾), a passion for fetch, and a heart that's just waiting to give itself completely to someone special. Once he trusts you, his whole body wiggles with happiness, and his loyalty is unmatched.

Kevin would thrive with an experienced adopter who understands larger dogs and is ready to give him the patience, structure, and love he's been waiting his entire life to receive.

Please don't let Kevin spend another year growing up in a shelter. Visit him at our Port Washington, NY Adoption Center and give this incredible boy the chance he's been dreaming of. 🏡💙

Meet Casper (#LA5961) 💙🐾

Casper may be deaf, but this happy-go-lucky 1-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix doesn't let that define him for a second. His world is full of adventure, playtime, lots of love and he's ready to share it all with a family of his very own. 🥹✨

After being adopted as a puppy, Casper recently found himself back at our shelter through no fault of his own. While his journey hasn't been easy, his sweet spirit has never wavered. Every day, he greets our staff with a wagging tail, an eager smile, and excitement for whatever comes next.

One of Casper's favorite parts of the week is heading out with our Adventure Club, where he gets to explore new places, enjoy long walks, and play endless games of fetch. He's a wonderful walking companion, loves learning, and thrives when he's spending time with people who understand him.

Casper is hoping to find a patient, experienced adopter who will give him the stability and encouragement he deserves. With a little guidance and a lot of love, this incredible boy will reward you with unwavering loyalty, endless laughter, and a friendship unlike any other.

Visit Casper at our Port Washington, NY Adoption Center and see for yourself just how special he is. We know he's ready to make someone's life a whole lot brighter. 💙🏡
