Portia (GA)Adult · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / MixedNew York, NY · 11.8 mi

Good with kidsGood with dogs
Here comes Portia (GA) — a fiveyearold mystery mix (possibly Retrieve and/or Pit Bull Terrier and/or Cane Corse!) whose most important breed is, without question, irresistible. Portia didn’t arrive at the shelter with a cute backstory or a soft landing. She came in with a collar so deeply embedded in her neck that it had to be surgically removed — a wound that tells you everything about her past and absolutely nothing about her spirit. Because somehow, despite the pain, despite the neglect, despite the fact that someone failed her so profoundly… Portia still loves. She loves people. She loves other dogs. She loves gently leaning her 69 pounds of sweetness against you like she’s trying to say…

Welcome Fiona! Fiona is a beautiful, estimated 5 year old Rosy Bourke who is both gentle and beautiful. Fiona has been DNA sexed female. This sweet little girl came to us after being purchased through Craigslist and was surrendered to our rescue not long after. She simply could not be cared for properly.

Because of his limited vision, a home where his cage, food, water, and surroundings can remain consistent would be ideal.

Milo (AL) is the kind of dog who makes you stop in your tracks — dark, handsome, alerteared, and carrying a story that hits you right in the chest. When rescuers found him in the shelter, Milo wasn’t just scared… he was hurt. He had been attacked by other dogs and beaten up, left bruised and battered in every way a dog can be. The kind of pain he endured doesn’t fade quickly — but Milo’s spirit didn’t break. Even with his wounds, even with the fear still fresh, he looked up at the people who came for him with a quiet plea that said, “Please don’t leave me here.” And they didn’t. Now Milo is safe.

Male DOB 12/8/25 “Helpful Pillow Toes” - that’s what my name means. I was rescued from the frigid cold. Alone and sure to perish. With my new lease on life I enjoy hunting wand toys, catnip mice and the resident cats at my foster home. I'm a cute, friendly, and energetic young boy that can be quite kooky and entertaining. Sometimes I act more like a dog... waiting at the door, playing fetch etc. I am looking for my "furrever" home. Maybe it’s with YOU!! A furry companion would be great, if they can keep up with my rambunctiousness. Otherwise someone who has spare time to play and hangout is also great.

She was rescued at a construction site where she’d found her way into a trailer and sat herself down on a worker’s lap - she really wanted to be an indoor cat! Macie likes to look around and explore new surroundings, but once she knows the lay of the land, she’s a low-energy cuddler who will rub up against your legs or headbutt your hand when she’d like some pets or head scratches. Most of the time she doesn’t really get the appeal of those silly colorful toys the humans try to wave at her, though she’ll occasionally chase a crinkly catnip …

Meet Saint! This young boy can initially be a shy guy, and a regular Harry Houdini! Might take a bit to come out of his shell, but can be very easily bribed with Churu or Temptations treats. Saint is a quiet, curious shadow that is very sweet and loves to play once he comes out of his shell. He would appreciate a quiter and patient home where he can have his own space to adjust on his own time. He is also certainly a night owl, loving to be curious and play in the evening while sleeping and hiding during the day. Overall a sweet and silly companion that will guarantee to make you laugh! This cat needs to be adopted with a friend -- applications for them as a single cat will not be answered.

Mallo Cup & Pez5 Months 12 Days · Female · Domestic Short HairBrooklyn, NY · 9.8 mi

Good with kidsGood with catsHouse-trained
Mallo Cup and Pez are a pair of sisters who are as sugary sweet as their names! Found in a Coney Island basement, starving and at death's door, we are so glad we were able to rescue these girls! Pez is energetic and playful, but also loves to snuggle her sister (and people). Mallo Cup is the runt of her litter, and is currently in the final stages of her FIP treatment (we'd be happy to speak with an adopter about this). Due to the extra care she received early in life, she's a true lap cat. Her favorite thing is to be carried about like a baby. But don't be fooled, this girl has a hunting steak and despite her tiny size she's been known to show Pez who's boss!

Ivanovitch and Pixy Stix are a pair of adopted siblings who are sweet as can be! Ivanovitch was pulled by our organization from the city shelter, as he was on the at risk list due to a severe jaw fracture. The jaw has healed very well, but gives him a distinct little face! He needed a few teeth removed so his misaligned jaw wouldn't cause any issues. He can see, but not super well. That being said, he loves to run, jump, and play. He finds his way around very well!

Super Soaker & Galaxy Blaster3 Months 22 Days · Domestic Short HairBrooklyn, NY · 9.8 mi

Super Soaker and Galaxy Blaster are a brother sister pair joined at the hip. They can often be found napping together, wrestling, tussling over the same toy, grooming each other, hunting in sync, or eating out of the same bowl when there is no reason to do that. Galaxy Blaster (the tabby girl) loves scritches and is usually the first to scope out a situation. Super Soaker (the man in black) is generally the more standoffish of the pair. He’s the more avid hunter, and often comes in for a sneak attack while his sister creates a distraction. These two love to play and explore, and would be a great addition to any home with love and playtime enough for two loving and rambunctious kittens. Pleas…

Tiffany, a petite black cat about two years old, is the coziest and most affectionate cat her foster has ever met- within 2 hours of arrival she was cuddling in their arms. As this bio is being written, she's curled up between her foster's ankles, bathing. She could have been a Milanese noblewoman in a past life: she exudes quiet elegance and gentle refinement, and she appreciates a life of leisure. Educated in the arts of hunting and dancing, she's also quite athletic as she leaps for her feather toy and chases down shiny tinfoil balls. Tiffany is very happy in a peaceful setting with plenty of cuddles, but she might not like other cats. She loves being petted, especially belly rubs and nec…

That perfect white ring around his nose makes him look like he dipped his snout straight into powdered sugar — as if he’s been quietly baking cookies when no one was looking. Rescued from a hoarding situation, Stitch arrived very underweight, all gentle eyes and uncertainty. He’s now slowly gaining the healthy weight he deserves and discovering the joys of regular meals, soft beds, and the kind of safety he’s never known before. But this new life? It’s big. It’s different. And Stitch is still figuring out how to feel brave inside it. He’s very sweet and loves all people and kids…

Meet Ottis! Ottis is a handsome 2 year old, 60 lb red and white coonhound mix ready to find his fur-ever. This sweet boy is house trained, crate trained, and has wonderful manners in the home.
