He is crate trained, house trained and has great leash skills. He goes to training and has been on all kinds of adventures.

Dodger was a Hi Tor dog that unfortunately we couldn’t find a rescue for and had to leave behind when Rockland Green cancelled our contract. But we haven’t forgotten about our boy!! Dodger is located in Pomona NY at Rockland Green Cares (the former Hi Tor). Please share so we can get Dodger into a home before the Holidays. #shelterdogs #shelterdogsofinstagram
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Tonight we need to give a huge shout out to our staff!!
Our staff always goes above and beyond but today we had what could have been a very dangerous incident happen that turned out to be a very emotional case!!
This afternoon, a man showed up at the shelter and let a large brindle dog loose out of his car. She was confused and ran into the shelter where our staff was giving another dog a bath in the pool while other dogs were being walked! Our dog and office staff jumped into action and were able to safely corner the dog and get our dogs out of harms way!
As our staff grabbed her, they realized she had a white electrical cord tied tightly around her neck as a “leash” (photo in the comments) and was extremely skinny.
She was terrified and screaming in fear anytime someone touched her! After laying on the pavement with her, calming her and giving her reassurance that we were not going to hurt her, she finally allowed us to get a collar on and take her to VEG Nanuet to be checked out.
The man who let her loose, tried to leave without providing any information but told our staff he found her in Pomona. If you recognize this dog please email
[email protected]. All info will be kept anonymous!
We have named her Sable and she will be held on a 10 day stray old. She is about a year old, no chip, she is about 20 lbs underweight but is very sweet! We are already all in love with her!
We are extremely grateful to have such a wonderful, caring team at Hi Tor… #hitorshelter
❗️❗️❗️ADOPTERS/ FOSTERS NEEDED!! ❗️❗️❗️
We are at CAPACITY!! We need adopters and/or fosters even if it’s only temporary…
In the last 24 hours we took in 7️⃣ (yes 7) dogs! That many dogs in one day is not sustainable! Two dogs were returned to their owners and 3 went into foster but our kennels our full so we need the publics help! If you can foster, we provide everything from food to crates and bowls!
Draco is one of the scared pups who was unexpectedly surrendered today! He is a sweet 6 month old puppy who is terrified of the loud noises of the shelter and is so confused. Last night he was in a home, now he is in a kennel! He doesn’t know what he did wrong… He is begging the staff in this video to save him and help him find a home. He was surrendered because his owner was evicted and could not keep him. Draco is people and dog friendly. He does need to be neutered but that can be arranged in the next week. We will cat test him tomorrow. Please email [email protected] if you can help with Draco or any of our animals! #fosteringsaveslives #fostersneeded #fosteradog #fosterneeded #shelterdog
Shogun is one of our favorite sweet seniors! He is an almost 12yrs old Bulldog mix. Showgun would make a great companion for an older person/couple. He enjoys walking but doesn’t need to go for miles. He loves to lay in the sun and watch the world go by. He used to live near the beach in the South so he also likes the water. Shogun is healthy for his age, he is house trained and isn’t on any prescribed medications. Due to his age, he would be part of our senior foster program. You provide the home and the love, we will provide vet care as needed, pet supplies (crate,bowls, leash) and preventatives, even food if requested. We also have a few other seniors who are looking for a foster home, so email [email protected] for more info!
Coco wanted to share some of her coupon saving specials! She can not only save you money with her knowledge of specials but she will add love to your life! [email protected] to meet her! #dogsofinstagram#fosterdogs #fosterdogsofinstagram
💖💖Adoption News💖💖
Freddy was left in a house to starve after the owners moved out. He came to us starving and sick. We nursed him back to health and he was recently adopted by an amazing person who is giving him the best life. Beaches, boats, exercise, Netflix and lots of love! Exactly what he deserved! Here is what his new Dad had to say:
This good boy is a super narcissist. He never misses a chance to look at himself in the mirror. He likes watching TV…aaand he HATES Tom Hanks? ….after plopping down laid out from running around at the dog park I thought he was dead to the world for awhile. But he snaps up when Tom Hanks shows up on the screen. Makes himself all big and walks towards him while growling viciously and then the barking starts. I had to stop the movie to calm him down. Up to that point I never heard him make a peep lol! We had his first day at the beach Monday. He took right to the water. We did some long line work and he did excellent. He made lots of friends. Even ended up in somebodys family picture. He wasn’t ready to swim but he lived running and splashing in the ocean
He also saw his first balloon and was pretty skittish lol
I made a flirt pole since he gets bored with fetch. He won’t even play with other dogs when they show up if we have the flirt pole out. That’s all he wants!
