  • Yuzu

    Meet Yuzu! A sweet, affectionate girl with a gentle soul, a silly personality, and so much love to give.

    Yuzu is a 6-year-old, 27-pound South Asian Village Dog who was rescued from the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal. Before coming to the United States, Yuzu was known as an incredibly friendly dog in her neighborhood. She would often visit a local outdoor café, happily approaching people, making friends, and enjoying all the attention. From the very beginning, Yuzu has loved people and children and has always had a special way of connecting with those around her.

    What makes her wonderful: Yuzu is affectionate, gentle, silly, smart, and incredibly emotionally intuitive. She is a true companion dog who loves being close to her people and being included in everyday life. After coming to the United States, Yuzu spent six wonderful years with her family in California. She has lived in both a city with a backyard and a quieter beach town, and she has always enjoyed being part of family life.

    Yuzu loves cuddling, belly scratches, hiking, beaches, sunbathing, squirrels, lizards, and especially beach zoomies! She has a fun and playful side, but she is also perfectly happy relaxing beside her people. She is house trained, crate trained, comfortable being home alone, and has excellent house manners. She is very food motivated, knows her basic commands, and responds beautifully to positive reinforcement.

    Yuzu absolutely loves children and has successfully lived with several cats. She also enjoys the company of gentle, playful dogs she knows and trusts. She is a devoted little companion who wants nothing more than to feel safe, loved, and included in her family's everyday life.

    What She Needs: Yuzu would thrive in a quieter, peaceful environment where she doesn't have to constantly navigate the overwhelming stimulation of a busy city. Since moving to New York City, her family has realized that the loud noises, constant activity, and sheer number of dogs and people have been very difficult for her. The amount of stimulation has been overwhelming for her, and her family is concerned about her quality of life in this environment.

    Yuzu can be nervous around unfamiliar larger dogs, particularly when she is on leash. When she becomes overwhelmed or frightened, she may bark or lunge out of fear. This is something she has made meaningful progress with over the years through patience, positive reinforcement, and support. Her family believes she would be much happier in a quieter area with less dog traffic, access to nature, and ideally a yard.

    Yuzu needs someone who understands sensitive dogs and is willing to give her patience, consistency, and reassurance as she continues building confidence. She doesn't need a busy lifestyle—she needs a peaceful one. A home where she can enjoy walks in quieter areas, spend time outdoors, relax in her yard, and be close to her people would be ideal.

    Health: Yuzu is a happy and healthy girl, although her anxiety has increased since moving to the city, and she is currently on a full dose of anxiety medication to help her cope with the environment. Her family is seeking a home where she can experience less stimulation and hopefully enjoy a better quality of life. She has excellent house manners, is house and crate trained, and is comfortable being left home alone.

    Why we're rehoming her: This is an incredibly difficult decision for Yuzu's family because they love her very much. Yuzu has spent six happy years with them in California, and she has been a cherished member of their family. They have watched her grow, traveled through different environments with her, and know how loving and special she is.

    Unfortunately, since moving to New York City, they have realized that the busy urban environment is simply too overwhelming for Yuzu. The constant noise, activity, and high density of dogs have made it difficult for her to feel comfortable and relaxed. Her family doesn't want her to spend her life feeling overwhelmed, and they believe she deserves an environment where she can truly thrive.

    This decision isn't being made because Yuzu isn't loved. It's being made because she is loved enough for her family to recognize that she needs something different. They want to find someone who understands her sensitive nature and will give her the peaceful environment, patience, and companionship she deserves.

    Yuzu is looking for someone who wants a true companion—a dog who will hike with you, lounge in the sunshine, explore the outdoors, snuggle on the couch, and be right by your side through everyday life. She has already given her family six wonderful years of love, and now they're hoping to find her the quiet, happy forever home where she can enjoy many more.

  • Sadie

    Meet Sadie! Sadie is a beautiful, loving girl with a big personality, an adventurous spirit, and so much love to give.

    Sadie is a 5-year-old Black and Tan Coonhound/American Foxhound mix that weighs about 60 pounds. She has a beautiful face, a gleaming coat, and a personality that is just as wonderful as she is beautiful.

    What makes her wonderful: Sadie is a happy, energetic girl who absolutely loves being outside. Watching her run at warp speed through a dog park is truly something to behold! She has a zest for life and would make a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys an active, outdoor lifestyle. She is wonderful with children of all ages, and she especially adores babies and toddlers. She has such a sweet side with little ones and loves being part of a family. Sadie loves to play with tennis balls and plush toys—although you shouldn't expect those toys to last very long! She plays hard and has a lot of fun doing it. When playtime is over, Sadie is perfectly happy to settle down and relax. She is housebroken and loves her beauty sleep, often sleeping around 12 hours at night with several naps during the day. She especially loves sleeping in bed with her people. Sadie also does well with other dogs in dog parks and play areas. She can be kenneled when her family goes away and does well with that routine. She is also a good traveler in the car, particularly when she can sit near her people in the front. Most importantly, Sadie is a dog who has been very loved and very well cared for. She has been a cherished member of her family, and it shows.

    What She Needs: Sadie would thrive with an active outdoor person or family who can give her plenty of opportunities to exercise, explore, and enjoy the world around her. As a Hound mix, Sadie has a strong nose and an instinct to follow it. Nature is always calling her! Because of this, she must be kept securely on a lead whenever she isn't in a securely fenced area. If given the opportunity, Sadie may decide to follow her nose on an adventure of her own.

    Sadie does not do well with other pets in the home and would prefer to have her people all to herself. While she enjoys playing with other dogs in appropriate dog parks and play environments, she should be the only pet living in her home.

    Health: Sadie is very healthy and has been extremely well cared for throughout her life. She has a gorgeous face, a beautiful gleaming coat, and is in great overall condition. Her family has taken wonderful care of her and wants to make sure she continues to receive that same level of love and care in her next home. She is housebroken and has a wonderful routine at home, including long overnight sleeps and daytime naps.

    Why we're rehoming her: This is an incredibly difficult decision for Sadie's family because they truly love her. They have enjoyed having Sadie as part of their family and have given her a wonderful life. Unfortunately, they have reached a point where they are getting older and are no longer able to provide the level of activity, exercise, and care that a young, energetic Hound mix like Sadie needs.

    This decision isn't being made because Sadie isn't loved. It's being made because she is loved enough for her family to recognize that she deserves more than they are now able to give her. They want to find someone who can give Sadie the active lifestyle she loves—someone who will take her outside, let her run safely, play with her, snuggle with her, and continue treating her like the incredibly special dog she is. Sadie has been a beloved family member, and her family hopes her next chapter will be filled with just as much love.She is ready for her next adventure—and she's hoping you'll be the one beside her.

  • Ryder

    Meet Ryder - a sweet, soulful girl looking for her forever home

    Ryder is a 5-year-old Boxer mix with a heart as big as her personality. She's playful, deeply loving, and the kind of dog who will follow you around the house to be near you. If you're looking for a loyal companion who gives affection without reservation, Ryder is your girl.

    What makes her wonderful: She's gentle and warm with people of all kinds; adults, strangers, kids. She rarely barks, making her an easy, calm presence in the home. She loves to play and has plenty of energy, but she's equally happy snuggling up at the end of the day.

    What she needs: Ryder is reactive with other dogs and does best as the only pet in the household. She'll need leash walking rather than off-leash dog parks, and would truly thrive with access to outdoor space. A yard or nearby green space where she can stretch her legs and explore safely with no other dogs.

    Her health: Ryder is healthy and up to date on her care. She has had two surgeries in her life - one to treat an aural hematoma or ’Boxers ear’ and one to repair a torn cruciate ligament (the canine equivalent of an ACL tear), which has been permanently corrected and hasn't slowed her down.

    Why we're rehoming her: We love Ryder deeply, and this decision hasn't been easy. With two young children at home and her need to be away from other dogs (we have lots of dogs on our street), we're not able to give her the time, space, and care she deserves. She needs someone who can truly make her the center of their world, and we know that person or family is out there.

    If you can offer Ryder a calm home, outdoor space, and a whole lot of love, we'd love to hear from you.
