Albert Loves Kids! 🐾

Yesterday, "The Canine Stars" performed in Stamford CT at The Palace Theater, and before the show, there was a two-hour adoption event. Albert was there—and he absolutely stole the show!

Albert met tons of kids, and it was love at first sight. The kids adored him, and he loved every minute of the attention right back. Albert is a sweet, gentle boy who would thrive in a home with children.

Albert is about 3 years old and enjoys cuddles, walks, and chewing on antler chews. He is truly a wonderful dog looking for a loving family.

Please share to help Albert find his forever home! 💙🐶

Cricket (formerly Mia) enjoyed her very first Christmas in her forever home. The little mite was a bit unsure about the crinkly wrapping paper at first, but took it all in stride.

Her canine sister Lorna (who was adopted from us in 2015) was happily snoozing atop a cozy pile of blankets on her dog bed.

Both girls are lucky to be spending the holidays in a loving forever home and receiving gifts from Santa.

Every rescue dog deserves a Christmas like this. 🎄🐾

Two weeks from today — Thursday, January 8th - fifteen dogs will receive the greatest holiday gift of all: saving thousands of lives now and for years to come.

These dogs will be spayed or neutered at our next "Free Spay & Neuter Day for Pit Bulls".

This spay/neuter clinic is made possible thanks to our generous sponsor, A. Lewis.

We cannot rescue - or adopt - our way out of this crisis. The only way to reduce the number of pit bulls dumped, abused, and killed in shelters is to go upstream and turn off the faucet and that means spay and neuter.

The rescue world has been operating the same way for decades, yet the situation is worse than ever. We must acknowledge that this approach has failed.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Prevention must be the focus. It is the only solution to this crisis.

Each dog will receive free of charge:

👉Spay or neuter

👉Rabies vaccine

👉DA2PP vaccine (distemper/parvo)

👉Nail trim

👉Microchip 

👉Cone

👉Tazodone (take home)

👉Meloxicam (take home)

Please get involved with spay/neuter whetever you live. It is the single most important thing you can do.

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas!

Albert is feeling a little disappointed that he will not be getting any gifts tomorrow. The human who should have sent letters to Santa on his behalf has been busy organizing two Free Spay and Neuter Clinics for Owned Pit Bulls this January. Thanks to these clinics, 30 owned pit bulls will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped — completely free to their families. This prevention work is the only way to reduce the number of pit bulls dumped, abandoned, surrendered to and killed in shelters.

Trying to save the day, Albert added a few antler chews to his wish list for himself and his foster siblings, Samson and Lilly, in case anyone feels inspired to send them something for the New Year. They would truly love them—especially Albert, who goes through antler chews like they are paper!

Many thanks for any support 💙

Happy Holidays and heartfelt thanks to the incredible team of three pilots from who generously fly our dogs from the South to Westchester, NY—completely free of charge.

Air travel is faster, safer, and less stressful for dogs than long road transports, which can take up to 24 hours.

The most recent pup to make the journey was Albert, and he received outstanding care from pilots Allan, Tom, and Jackson. 

Thank you, Allan, Tom, and Jackson — you are true superstars, and we are so grateful for everything you do for so many dogs. 🐾✈️

Albert loved his visit with Santa and put in a very special request—a forever home! 🎅✨

This handsome guy is a world-class snuggler who’s all about walkies, antler chews, and movie nights spent cuddled on the couch. Albert has a goofy sense of humor and a happy personality that will keep you laughing and smiling every day.

Albert is ready to pack his bags and can be adopted within a 6-hour drive of NYC. He’s currently living his best foster life in Stamford, CT, and can’t wait to meet his future person!

Adopt Frenchie 🐾

Frenchie is an easygoing, sweet girl who loves spending her days snoozing in cozy dog beds. She’s the perfect match for someone looking for a low-energy companion who doesn’t need a lot of exercise. Gentle walks and long naps are her favorite activities.

Frenchie can live happily with both male and female dogs. No cats.

Frenchie is approximately 7–8 years old and, heartbreakingly, has been homeless her entire life. Frenchie was saved from another so-called “rescue” where the owner has been arrested on multiple charges of animal cruelty. Despite everything she’s been through, Frenchie is sweet, calm, loving, and ready for a safe, comfortable home.

Please share to help Frenchie finally find the loving home she deserves. ❤️

Albert does not have his forever human yet to take him for special moments like holiday photos, so we made sure he didn’t miss out. 💛

The moment Albert saw Santa, he jumped right into his arms for a hug and buried his face in the fluffy beard. After a little encouragement, the photographer was able to get his attention and capture some adorable photos.

Albert is searching for his forever home. He is the best snuggler, loves hugs, daily walks, and playing with toys. He currently lives happily with both male and female dogs in his foster home.

Please share to help Albert find the loving home he deserves. 🐾

ADOPT FRENCHIE 

Please take a moment to share – you never know who might see Frenchie and fall in love.

Frenchie is an easygoing, gentle soul who just wants a soft bed and a loving home. She is about 7–8 years old and her favorite hobbies are snoozing and leisurely walks. Frenchie is incredibly affectionate, calm, and gets along beautifully with both people and other dogs.

Frenchie has spent her entire life waiting for a forever home. She came from a heartbreaking situation — rescued from a so-called “rescue” where the owner is now facing multiple charges for animal cruelty and abuse. Frenchie deserves peace, love, and a forever family.

Please help change her story. One share could be the beginning of her happily ever after.

Lilly and Samson send their heartfelt thanks to the incredibly kind person who sent two bags of food and their supplements—two bottles of Antinol and two jars of Movoflex Advanced.

Chewy does not share the names of donors, but please know how deeply grateful we are. This generous gift is a huge help to us. Lilly and Samson are both seniors and are each searching for their forever homes (separately). In the meantime, we are committed to giving them the very best care possible.

We truly appreciate this kindness more than words can express—it means so much to us and, most importantly, to the dogs.
