Sweet Sabrina just celebrated her 7th birthday and is hoping year seven is her lucky year of finding her person!

She loves toys, window views, and a little sweet treat to end the day. She’s not interested in roommate drama (cats or dogs) but would more than welcome some quality time with you. Some cats are instant attention-seekers. Sabrina isn’t. But give her time, and she’ll be the calm, steady heartbeat in your home.

If you’re interested in a one-cat kind of life, Sabrina is your girl!

Meet Karen and Dolly Parton—longtime patrons of the Humane Society of New York!

Karen has been part of the Humane Society family since the 1970s, entrusting us with the health and happiness of over 20 beloved cats and now her cherished pup, Dolly. From long, happy lives to well-manicured nails, Karen has always made sure her animals get the best—and we’re honored she’s chosen us to help along the way.

At HSNY, we believe that great veterinary care is one of the greatest gifts you can give a pet—and it’s a joy to partner with people like Karen who treat it that way. Our veterinarians and staff are proud to support clients and their pets at every age and stage!

In the second installment of our training series, adoptable Frankie teams up with our Director of Animal Training and Behavior, Bill Berloni, to cover more important basics: leash walking and stay.

Bill recommends starting these skills indoors first, as it is the most controlled environment free from distractions. Using treats, consistency, and a calm presence are also very important.

Bill explains that the goal in training your dog is to build a strong relationship. You want your dog to respect you, while also feeling as though being with you is the best part of their day. Training is as much about relationship as it is about routine.

(And yes—Frankie is available for adoption! Link: bit.ly/3MOgOb0)

We’re getting up close and personal with some of our adoptables. These close-ups aren’t just good angles! (Though spoiler: they don’t have a bad one.)

Our usual adoptable photos do a great job showing you their full picture, but this time, we’re switching lenses and zooming in. While we can tell you about their age, breed, and favorite toy, these close-ups let you see what we see every day. The
gentle eyes, the curious expressions, and so much more.

So, meet a few of our current adoptables: Suki, Amelie, Esme, Nicholas, Christopher, Mocha, Benoit, Amora, and Frankie—up close, and wonderfully personal!

Three-year-old Cleo was found beneath the Queensboro Bridge, hiding near a junk pile with an empty pet carrier nearby. Starving, alone, and covered in wounds, she ran from every loud sound until we gently earned her trust and brought her to safety, just hours before a snowstorm rolled in.

When she arrived, she was immediately seen by our doctors and evaluated so that treatment to put her on the road to recovery could begin. Our team tended to her injuries, nourished her, and showed her what it meant to be cared for.

Now, Cleo has found her rhythm again, health-wise and literally! She is known around HSNY for her love of classical music, often seen tapping her paw in time to the rhythm. When she’s not appreciating classical composers, you can find her zipping through cat tunnels, scaling the cat tree, or relishing in the sunshine while poised at the windowsill.

From the cold concrete to a sun-drenched window perch, Cleo is making the most of her second chance here. Now, she’s ready for the one thing still missing—a home of her own! Would you give her one?

. 📢 For those who want to know... Some Hot Weather Tips for Pets.
🐶🐱 If an animal becomes over heated (heat prostration) it can die‼️ .📢🐶🐱Never leave an animal in a vehicle. Even with windows left slightly open, any vehicle can quickly become a furnace. Also keep in mind that many beloved pets have been stolen from their owner’s car. . 📢🐶🐱When traveling with your pet be sure to carry plenty of fresh water. . 📢🐶 Walk your dog early in the morning or in the evening when the temperatures are lower and keep walks to a minimum if the temperatures are extremely high. Your dog is very close to the asphalt and their body can heat up quickly. Their paws can get burned. . 📢🐶 Do not exercise your animal after a meal in hot, humid weather.
📢🐶 Don’t forget your pets can get sunburn just like you. Never take an animal to the beach unless you can provide a shaded spot and plenty of fresh water. Rinse your dog if he goes in salt water..
📢🐶 Old and overweight dogs have a hard time in hot weather. Snub-nosed dogs like Bulldogs, Pekingese, Boston Terriers, Shih Tzus, and Lhasa Apsos, have a hard time breathing and should be kept indoors in
air-conditioning as much as possible - as should any animal who has an existing medical condition, especially a heart or lung problem. . 📢🐶 ‼️ Never leave your dog unattended near a swimming pool. Many dogs love water and will happily jump into a pool, but they are unable to climb pool ladders, and will be unable to get out. Without assistance, an exhausted dog can drown. .
📢🐶‼️ Never leave your dog tied up anywhere - any time of the year.

The first day of summer is here, and Dr. Rubinstein is kicking off the season with essential tips to help keep your dog safe in the warmer months!

Watch for overheating. If your dog is panting heavily or lingering in the sun, move them to a shady spot and cool their paw pads with a damp (not cold) washcloth. If symptoms persist, call your vet.

Stay up to date on flea and tick prevention! Fleas cause itching and discomfort, and ticks can transmit serious illnesses like Lyme, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis. A vet-prescribed preventative offers reliable protection—ideally year-round.

Don’t skip heartworm prevention! Spread by mosquitoes, heartworm can be deadly. Make sure your dog gets an annual test and is on a consistent preventative during the warmer months and beyond.

Finally, never leave your dog in the car! Even with cracked windows, temperatures rise quickly and can be fatal. Always bring your dog with you or leave them safe at home in a cool space.

Summer is a beautiful time of year to spend enjoying fun activities and the outdoors, ensure your dog is able to enjoy them fully with you!

Nicholas' journey started on a freezing day, abandoned in a carrier on the street -shivering, scared, malnourished and in terrible pain. Most of his fur was missing and his body was raw and bleeding.

The HSNY medical team and support staff diligently cared for him, and after several months Nicholas made tremendous progress. His fluffy fur grew back, his skin and ears healed, he gained weight and had hernia repair surgery, in addition to being neutered.

Three-year-old Nicholas is wary of some people, but is learning to trust.
He enjoys toys, running on the HSNY rooftop dog run and going for walks.

He is looking for a calm and patient home to call his own. If not with you, please share his story. To see him wagging his tail is a delight!

Casey turns 7 today! 🎉

This handsome birthday boy is celebrating in style, party hat and all! But what he really wants, is a home where he can feel safe, loved, and completely himself.

While his eyesight may be limited, his spirit certainly isn’t! Casey is playful, curious, and full of charm. He’d thrive as your one-and-only cat, fully prepared to assume the titles of “King of the Castle” and “Lap-Sitter in Chief” of your home!

So blow up a balloon, light a candle, and send some birthday wishes Casey’s way! Or better yet… make one come true!

One year until the World Cup… and Mocha is already in training! ⚽️

She’s got the footwork, the focus, and the heart—and she’s hoping to score a forever home!

Mocha is bright, athletic, and endlessly loyal—the kind of teammate who will always have your back and never miss a moment to make you smile. She's been with us for a bit, waiting patiently for her match, but her spirit hasn’t wavered.

This time next summer, she’s hoping to be curled up on the couch beside her favorite people, watching the World Cup from the comfort of her very own home.

If you're looking for a loyal companion with heart, hustle, and a world-class wiggle—Mocha is ready to join your team! Are you in?
