We are pleased to introduce you to 2 Year Old POPPY 🌸— This girl who comes from a rural shelter is getting used to a routine in NYC, is spayed, healthy and ready for a forever home!

Poppy adores morning belly rubs and relaxing with her favorite benebone. She loves being a couch potato (especially in this heat), but she also enjoys long walks in the park and friendly greetings with other dogs. Poppy is a bit shy around food but is otherwise gentle and loving. She’s house-trained, crate-trained with a bit of encouragement, and enjoys meeting people.

Poppy will seamlessly make an ideal companion in any home 🥰. Adopt her at rescuecity.nyc/adopt!

Sweet Sadler.🤍 This loveable boy was found on the side of the road, curled up in the bushes and covered in fleas. When our rescue partners went to retrieve him, Sadler gently took the treats they offered and hopped in their car without a care in the world. It looked like he’d been out in the woods for some time, and when nobody came to claim Sadler, we welcomed him to NYCSCR.❤️

This boy is a total mush. He’s about 3 years old and 75 pounds. He’s very friendly and gets along well with dogs but would do best in a home without kitties. He loves to give paw, and melts into every pet.

If big, lovable, bullies are your style, you don’t want to miss out on Sadler🤍🐾. Adoptions this month are $100 to celebrate our Summer of Love!🎉 Apply to adopt Sadler at nycscr.org/adopt

Pets, it turns out, also have last wishes before they die, but only known by veterinarians who put old and sick animals to sleep. Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what was the most difficult part of his job.

The specialist answered without hesitation that it was the hardest for him to see how old or sick animals look for their owners with the eyes of their owners before going to sleep. The fact is that 90 % of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so that they don't see their pet leave. But they don't realize that it's in these last moments of life that their pet needs them most.

Veterinarians ask the owners to be close to the animals until the very end. "It's inevitable that they die before you. Don't forget that you were the center of their life. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. No matter how hard it is, don't leave them.

Don't let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they don't like. It is very painful for veterinarians to see how pets cannot find their owner during the last minutes of their life. They don't understand why the owner left them. After all, they needed their owner’s consolation.

Veterinarians do everything possible to ensure that animals are not so scared, but they are completely strangers to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you. Think about the pet. Endure this pain for the sake of their sake.

Be with them until the end!

Sweet baby Oscar.❤️ He’s the friendliest fella on the planet with a noggin the size of Jupiter. From day 1, we knew Oscar was special. He is the kindest, most patient, tender-hearted dog. We don’t know what Oscar’s past life looked like, but he became an NYCSCR dog after he was abandoned in a locked trash room in the middle of winter, severely malnourished, and covered in sores all over his body. His eyes were a mess and he eventually lost his right eye from the damage, but we love his little perma-wink.😉

If you love big heads, morning cuddles, and a dog who sticks to you like glue, then Oscar might be your perfect boy. He is low-energy, dog-friendly, sweet, sensitive, and snuggly. Oh, but we’re not done! Oscar is fully housebroken, a fantastic walking buddy, quiet, calm, and a quick learner. His foster mama says he has “bottomless patience” and lets her wipe his paws, put him in pj’s, and clean his ears without fuss.🐥

Oscar is a dreamboat, and he’s ready for his forever family. He’d fit right in with your pack or as a solo dog; he goes with the flow.😇 Don’t miss out on this special pup - apply today to adopt Oscar at nycscr.org/adopt

Love making eggies for my furiends.🥚💛

Eggs 🥚 are a perfect protein, and they’re the richest source of choline, a vitamin critical for cell and brain health but is often deficient in pet food.

COMMENT “EGGCELLENT” and I'll message you our Egg Guide with a CHOLINE CRISP RECIPE to make this brain nourishing snack for your dog or cat. You'll also find dozens of recipe ideas and a section just on eggs in The Forever Dog LIFE where we show you how to select, prepare, and store eggs.

Grampa Hazel is on his paws asking, “Won’t you be my family?”😭❤️ This precious senior fellow may be extra special with his wobbly hind legs, but aside from wearing booties to protect his paws from getting scraped up, his “special needs” are easily managed. One of the many perks of adopting a senior pet like Hazel is that you’re basically adopting a couch potato!! Hazel is 9 years old, and while he enjoys his daily walks, he prefers his comfy spot on the couch to the great outdoors.

Hazel is fully housetrained, loves belly rubs and afternoon naps, and is available for adoption right now!!! He can be timid around new dogs and would be happy as a solo pet or with another easygoing pup. If you’d like to make an older dog the happiest pup in the world, apply today to adopt Hazel at nycscr.org/adopt

Honey🍯 was originally rescued by Rescue City in 2018, as a three month old puppy. She was adopted by a loving family who, due to no fault of her own, can no longer keep her.

We stick by our dogs no matter what; once you’re a part of the , you’re in for life. And we are determined to find Honey the loving home that is meant to be hers! 

6 Year Old Honey is a happy, affectionate, energetic pup! She is house trained, crate trained, and healthy. She is very active and loves to play and has been living her whole life with young children! She can be picky with other dogs, so we’d suggest a dog-free home at this time, while we work on her socialization. Honey lives with a cat now, and sometimes tries to chase, but has never hurt the cat. She is nicely medium sized 30 pounds and is very loving toward all people!

Honey is available for foster or our Foster-to-Adopt program and needs placement ASAP. If you can help, please email [email protected] ASAP!

PUPDATE: Rollo is a - he’s already found his forever home!🩷

Please give a warm welcome to Rollo, a sweet chihuahua mix who lost his owner. Rollo was in the care of an unhoused gentleman who went to jail, and Rollo needed a soft place to land. Thankfully, an amazing foster family stepped in for Rollo, and we already adore this sweet-tempered Chi. Rollo recently had a vet visit and had 10 teeth extracted; this poor boy's mouth was a mess. Additionally, an echocardiogram revealed that he has Chronic Valvular disease and will need to be on heart medication. But he is a dream companion for someone looking for a lower-energy, independent but affectionate, low-maintenance dog. Despite being blind, Rollo is good at mapping out spaces. He is friendly with other dogs and won't turn away a four-legged OR two-legged cuddle buddy. Rollo is happy chilling on his own, curled up on a blanket, but he also loves to be held. He is housetrained, enjoys being in the sun, and only weighs 17 pounds. Give Rollo a fresh start for his golden years and apply to adopt him at nycsecondchancerescue.org/adopt

Humans who suffer from seasonal allergies react much differently than a dog or cat experiencing an allergic response. With pets, the itching and scratching can lead to inflamed skin and even a secondary infection. Here are seven natural steps you can take to help ease your pet's discomfort.
