When we vet our adopters, we look for people who are smart, caring, and above all else, individuals who will be fully and completely committed to their pups, because the truth is this: caring for a dog is remarkably rewarding and can simultaneously be the greatest challenge of your life.
Sarah, mom to George, is an exemplar adopter; someone who has stuck by her pup - whom she loves with all her heart - despite the challenges he has presented. Here’s a bit of their story from Sarah herself:
“I adopted George when he was a baby - somewhere between 1-3 months old, depending on who you ask! When I first got him, I immediately started (safely!) socializing him with various people, dogs, and environments.About four months after I got him, one day seemingly out of nowhere he lunged and growled at someone on the street.
For the next few months, he started growling and lunging at anyone who got near me or reached towards me. I immediately started trying to figure out how to address his reactivity. I began with his vet (the absolutely wonderful Dr. Beard at Worth St. Vet) and then worked with a series of trainers to assess his reactivity. I was referred to Behavior Vets NYC, whose amazing team evaluated him for meds. They determined he is not an aggressive dog - he's fearful and insecure, and he uses reactivity to manage those emotions. They recommended we start him on Prozac, while also connecting us with a wonderful trainer from their staff - together, we worked on desensitization and counterconditioning. I was alsolucky to have the most incredible walker, David Huynh of Happy Pants, who handled him for four times a week pack walks. David really trained George and helped train me, and was able to take George into every kind of environment or situation with no issue (think the train, Target, other people's homes, let kids pat him!). Through this experience, I also met a whole community of people in NYC who have reactive dogs, and I have learned a ton from them as well…”

Please welcome the newest pup in our care: TOAST! 🍞
This 2-3 year old boy was rescued by and a few days ago, and he was truly rescued just in time. The Trappers received a call for help from a family with two dogs who needed to be sterilized. Once at the home, they spotted a very sick male dog and asked the family if they could take the pup with them. After some thought, the family agreed, and now this skinny little guy will receive the medical treatment he urgently needs. 🐶🩺
When we saw the photos of Toast, we simply couldn’t look away from his kind eyes. Despite what he’s been through, he has so much love to give, and is just the sweetest pup 🥰. Help us find Toast the forever home he deserves by liking and sharing this post! We hope to fly him to the US in October, as long as he is well enough to travel by then. 🙏

👋 WELCOME 👋
We have a lot of new peeps around here, thanks to ’s amazing partnership! We are so glad you’re here and are hopeful that our growing following will help more pups in need find their forever homes. 🥰🏡
A few things you should know about us:
🐾 My name is Jane and my husband Jeremy and I founded in 2019. Since then, we have helped nearly 200 Cunucus find their forever homes, mostly on the East Coast.
🐾 Aruba is a beautiful island and if you haven’t been, we highly recommend you go! 🏝But, despite its beauty, there is a severe animal overpopulation problem on the small island, largely caused by widespread lack of sterilization and non-existent animal cruelty laws.
🐾 Our main partner in Aruba is - a trap and release organization, whose mission is to mitigate the overpopulation crisis by providing free spay and neuter to owned and homeless dogs across the island. In their work, however, they come across puppies who were either born on the street or dumped in terrible places, and reach out to us to see if we have the bandwidth to take them into our care. This is how we end up with the sweet pups you see pictured here! 🐶❤️
🐾 Cunucu is an Aruban word and is used as an umbrella term for all the dogs on the island; however, Cunucus are NOT a breed! Their mutigrees really run the gamut, which means we get dogs of all sizes, coloring, and temperaments. 🐕🦺🦮🐩
Head to the link in bio to learn more about our organization and our adoption process! 🏝✈️🏡🥰
One moment, you’ve been abandoned with your siblings in the middle of the island, and the next, you’re getting all the love from your sweet fosters! 🥰🐶
We love watching these pups mend and get stronger every day. More photos to come of these four little sisters soon, but in the meantime, you can swoon over this little lady who just wants to snuggle and play! ❤️
