Charlie
URGENT Foster/Home Needed – Long Island, NY
Meet Charlie! This 15mo old red nose male Pittie, weighing about 60lbs, needs a new home. He was rescued as a pup about a year ago but he’s not getting along well with the other dog in the family. We do not know if it is Charlie or the resident dog. Charlie is good with people and kids; he lives with a two-year-old now. Charlie is very energetic and would love a nice yard to play in. He likes going for walks on the leash and enjoys car rides. He loves cuddles and attention, and he really loves his treats!! Charlie is fully trained, including crate, neutered and up to date on all vaccinations.
He understands basic commands like sit, paw and lay down. The family has been working with Pioneers for Animal Welfare Society Inc in attempts to find Charlie a new home for a few months, but no one has stepped up. His situation is sadly urgent; he needs to move out.
WON’T SOMEONE COME MEET HIM AND GIVE HIM A CHANCE? PLEASE…..

A happy ending for these two beautiful handicapped dogs! Trey a beautiful, young heeler mix tripod and his best friend Sugar, who is in a wheelchair as she was hit by a car are en route to their foster/adoption homes in CT. Their new guardians are friends and live close by so Trey and Sugar will still see each other all the time. Our rescue colleague "Just a Girl Saving a Dog" in Texas saved these two off the streets of Texas. We found a home for them up here.

appears interested in cats. Kids 13yrs+ would be best. He weighs roughly 55lbs, is neutered

Athena Foster/Home Needed – Long Island, NY Meet Athena. This sweet girl was rescued from down south with her BFF and brought to us in search of the life they deserve but have never had ☹ Athena’s buddy Titan has been adopted, which is wonderful, but now it’s Athena’s turn. She is waiting patiently for her person/people. Athena is now a 3yr old female Terrier mix, weighing roughly 45lbs. Poor girl was half starved when we first saw her. Thankfully she is doing much better now. Athena is sweet, very playful and a little rambunctious. Amazing what a good meal or two can do for a girl, huh? She is ok with other dogs her size, but no small animals. Due to her size and lack of experience, children under the age of 13yrs are not recommended. Athena is spayed and UTD on all. If you think you might be the well-deserved home for this lovable, neglected sweetheart, please contact [email protected] or go to our FB page or call the number listed below.

Sassy and Primo
*Not one inquiry- if these two get in shelter, they will be separated due to over crowding and no room. This will be really stressful for them and could result in them not lasting long there. Someone please step up!* Bonded pair 🙏🏻. Senior girl and her best friend in Urgent need, shelter bound if lucky; fate unknown . Located Long Island- will consider NY, Ct and NJ URGENT SASSY AND PRIMO are shelter bound Monday, Jan 29, if room at Town Shelter- If no room, their fate is unknown. They are currently on Long Island. Their dad must leave his rental home due to divorce- his wife left and wants nothing to do with Primo and Sassy. He will move in with family right now but no one will or can take his furry children. WE see this ALL Of the Time- sometimes family members can help their human member but usually the furry companion has now hep. In todays environment, housing is scarce, especially for humans and their animals. WE are not a facility-we are purely foster based and we have so many in need. Won’t someone step up to give these two a safe haven? Shelters are full- and if no room, there is literally no place for these dogs to go. If they are “lucky enough” to find “safe haven” at the town shelter, they will be split and fate will be unknown. Primo, pittie mush, 90 lbs is a neutered boy and is 6; Sassy, bulldog/pug mix, 35 lbs is a spayed girl who is 10 yrs old and they are best friends. They love to play, go for walks. Cats unknown, dogs are good. There has to be someone out there who has a home who can take these two in. PLEASE. Please contact [email protected] if you can assist or call 631 306 4616

Sugar
Foster/Foster to Adopt Home Needed – Long Island, NY Meet SUGAR! If ever a dog has earned its name, this girl certainly has! Sugar is a 4y/o female mix breed, weighing about 30lbs. She was found by a good Samaritan living on the streets! She was dragging her rear legs, so they assumed she was partially paralyzed. They brought her to a vet where we learned these were not recent injuries. ☹ The vet provided medical treatment that has had some successful results! Sugar can put a bit of weight on her hind legs and has some limited mobility! Our hope is she will continue to improve, but meanwhile she gets around great in her wheelchair from Joey's PAW and is a sweet, happy girl! Sugar gets along GREAT with other dogs & cats! She is spayed & up to date on all vaccines & preventatives. If you have room in your heart ❤️ and home 🏡 for this deserving sweetheart, please contact [email protected] or call the number listed below. THANK YOU AND PLEASE SHARE!

Update on this beauty ! We pulled Molly from an upstate shelter after we were advised of her situation ...she had been there for months. We found the most incredible home for her here on li...she is soooo happy❤️
BUNNY 🐇 🐰 in search of a forever home! MEET NOAH! Noah is a male 18 month old black/grey Lionhead bun. He was surrendered by a former breeder who kept them in a retail storefront. That breeder rescued him from a pet store, where Noah was terrified of so many strangers handling him roughly. He's very affectionate, and loves to cuddle on the couch and watch TV! He's also litter-box trained, AND doesn't chew when he is left to free roam! He loves to be petted & brushed! He's now fully vetted, microchipped & neutered. Bunnies aren't to be kept in cages-they can be litterbox trained and free roam in a bunny proofed room or home, or kept in an Xpen. Bunnies aren't ideal pets for small children as they require delicate handling. But the good news? Bunnies can't be bathed, don't need groomers and don't require annual vaccines! They're very clean animals who are a LOT of fun-like a kitten that never grows up! Ideal foster to adopt parent will have prior bun experience. If you would love to have Noah flop, zoom, and binky into your life, please call 631-306-4616 or email adoptions @PAWS-LI.org. THANK YOU and PLEASE SHARE!
