Venus is a sweet, active Pointer mix who came to us because her owner had too many animals. At almost 2 years old, this girl has a lot of potential with an owner who will give her the training, boundaries, and exercise she needs. Venus is currently in a training program, working on basic obedience and manners. If you agree to continue her education, she agrees to be a lively, loyal companion!

Fanta is a lovely young Pit Bull Terrier mix who is still a pup at 9 months. Fanta LOVES to get snuggles and get in your lap and loves to play, especially with squeaky toys and balls, as you can see from her picture. She has a lot of energy and will need to find a home dedicated to daily exercise, play and training. Fanta would do best in a home with older children. Fanta is enrolled in our Shelter In-House Training program where she is learning basic obedience to give her a great start in her new home!

Busby is a one and half year old, Shepherd/Hound Mix. He's a black and tan male. Surrendered to the NY Ave Shelter because he has a lot of energy. Now living in a foster home with other dogs and waiting for his forever home.

Sparky is an eleven-month-old, male pit bull terrier. He was surrendered by owners because they could not care for him any more. He use to live with other dogs, several children, so he's use to a lot going on in a home. He's full of energy, social, and would make a great addition to someone's home. Loves to run, pulls hard on his leash, so would be good with an owner who is strong and can lead him in right direction on his walks.

Skyy is a very friendly, young, female, brown and white pit bull terrier. She's just over 1-year-old, living in a foster home with another female pit bull who she quickly became pals with. She's great with people and other dogs. Loves to play and quiet time too. Her previous owner surrendered her because he did not have enough time for a dog. Hopefully you can make time for her in your home!

Skyy is being fostered at Wagtime, so you can go see her there!

Sumi

There's no doubt about it- Sumi is gorgeous. Pictures don't do her justice! But don't think she's all beauty and no brains; Sumi is also very smart and learns fast. She is very social and bonds to new people quickly. As you can see from her picture, she loves to get snuggles! She has become a WHS staff favorite and she got to come to our staff meeting and sit in Caregiver Cindy's lap while everyone talked. She doesn't really like to share her food or toys with other dogs, so she would probably do best as an only dog. At 3 years old, this Akita mix is past the puppy phase, but still will enjoy daily walks with her person and training to occupy her agile mind.

Sumi now participates in the Dog Tags program (click link below) where she loves to greet everyone with lots of happy play bows and kisses before she begins her training!

Zeus

Zeus has had a hard life, but you shouldn't judge a book by its cover! Brought into the shelter by a Humane Law Enforcement Officer because his owner wasn't taking care of him, Zeus has thrived under our care. He is discovering the fun of couches, pillows, warm blankets and most of all snuggles! He loves to have a lap to put his head in to take a nap. He is a sweet dog who has energy to enjoy walks and playing, but will also enjoy sleeping at his person's feet. Zeus would be an ideal companion for someone who works from home or is retired and wants a companion. He is a senior dog and has some medical issues that will need maintaining, so his adoption fee is sponsored for the right home. Zeus will do best as an only pet, but he is more than enough to fill your heart!

Though he's quite content to lounge on the sofa, this big boy also enjoys the occasional hike in the park with the WHS PACK! Click the icon below for more information!

Bootsy is a very cute, 3 year old terrier mix. A small dog with a big heart. Bootsy came to the shelter with a severely injured leg which he almost lost, and laid around two months with a cast and then bandages. As soon as he was ready, we brought him to our home to learn how to be a dog again, and it is like it never happened. He romps with our beagle, and gets along quite well with both of our permanent dogs. He is about 30 pounds and just a little taller than the beagle. He is warm and affectionate with the family, territorial in his house, and warms up slowly with strangers. If guests use the ‘no eye contact’ rule, he will settle right down. He is a talker as well, where he will quietly tell you when he needs a hug. He is fully housebroken and loves his walks and belly rubs, recovered from the leg injury and in good health per our vet. He would probably do best in a house without other dogs, as he is leash aggressive to many other dogs. He would love to have an

Killian

Hi, I’m Killian! I’m a very sweet 9 month old red Rottweiler mix. My owner was moving and couldn’t take me with him so I’ve been living with a foster family. The first thing you’ll love about me is my beautiful face and expressive eyes. I’ve been told I’m a very good listener and a pleaser. I love to run and play with sticks and toys I have a lot of energy, but happy to settle down for good long naps as well. I’m very social and get along great with other dogs and kids. I love walks, but would also love to have a yard to run around in. I’d like to take some basic obedience classes, as I am very smart and eager to learn. I know I will be a great addition to a fun loving family!
