Adopt a Pet

PLEASE SHARE! This quiet girl just wants someone to give her a chance. ❤️‍🩹 Meet Marina (affectionately called Mari), a 2-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix who was saved from certain euthanasia by @sketchy_mutts_and_underdogs in Indianapolis, IN. She was extremely stressed in the shelter environment, but since arriving in foster care, she’s absolutely thriving. Mari is a darling, dainty pup who’s the perfect mix of puppy energy and couch potato. Mari is fantastic with other dogs, but is truly a people person at heart. She’ll happily follow you around, jump up to give you a ‘hug,’ and curl up right beside you on the couch—an absolute snuggle bug through and through. She listens so well, walks great on a leash, and has even mastered some commands. Mari would do best with someone dedicated to continuing her training and helping her build confidence. We know she will bring so much happiness to a very lucky family, could it be yours? Click our link in bio to adopt Mari today! #adoptapet #adoptdontshop #rescuedog #doglover

PLEASE SHARE! This silly girl has a better skin care routine than you. 😉 Meet Juliet, a 1-year-old mixed breed currently in foster through @seespotrescued in Jersey City, NJ. If you’re looking for a goofy bundle of joy who is as sweet and loving as they come, Juliet is your perfect match. She is extremely friendly and makes fast friends with everyone she meets. Juliet’s playful energy and affectionate nature make her an ideal companion for an active household, but she’s just as happy snuggling up for some quality cuddle time. She’s looking for a person who can match her zest for life and give her the love and care she truly deserves. Could that person be you?

PLEASE SHARE! This resilient girl has been waiting over a year for someone to notice her. 🥺 Meet Cardi, a 5-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix who survived her early years confined to a crate, then endured seven long months in a shelter, before finally being taken in by a foster through @reboundhounds in Albany, New York. However, in spite of all she has gone through, Cardi’s loyal and loving personality has never wavered. She is an incredibly sweet, sensitive, and empathetic pup who is simply happiest when by your side. Cardi loves going for walks and hikes—and she walks beautifully on a leash—but she’s also perfectly content relaxing while you work. Given her past, she’ll need a quiet, adult-only home where she’s the only pet in order to truly thrive. Cardi has come so far, and with the right person by her side, her future is limitless. Will you be the one to come to her rescue? Click our link in bio to adopt Cardi today! #adoptapet #adoptdontshop #rescuedog #doglover

PLEASE SHARE! Help us find this playful puppy his forever family. ❤️ Meet Alfie, a 4-month-old Shepherd/Husky mix currently in foster through the @hitlivingfoundation in Van Nuys, CA. Alfie is an adorable boy who’s the perfect blend of curiosity, intelligence, and joyful energy. He’s a social butterfly, always excited to greet new faces—both dog and human alike! Alfie would thrive in a home with another dog to play with and learn from, but he’d also be perfectly content as the center of attention as the only fur child. His foster even describes him as one of the most affectionate pups she’s ever cared for. We are so excited for Alfie’s next chapter and know his person is out there. Could it be you?

PLEASE SHARE! This kitten has spent nearly her entire life at the shelter.💔 Meet Showtime, an 11-month-old Domestic Shorthair who arrived at @straycatalliance Los Angeles, CA after being found my a volunteer in the middle of the road, unable to walk. She was in desperate need of medical care, but has since recovered—and now patiently waits, hoping someone will finally see her and give her the love she deserves. Showtime is very energetic, sweet, and vocal—her adorable meows will steal your heart! We know her perfect matches out there, could it be you?

PLEASE SHARE! This active pup is looking for a best friend to explore the world with.❤️ Meet Finny, a 5.5-year-old Alaskan Malamute who arrived at @arlboston in Dedham, MA in October after his owner had to move and couldn’t bring him due to housing restrictions. In true Alaskan Malamute fashion, Finny absolutely LOVES being outside. He thrives on adventure whether it’s a long trail hike or a simple jog with volunteers around the neighborhood. Finny is a very affectionate boy, never turning down a good belly rub when he settles down on the couch with you after a long day of exploring. He is dog-selective, meaning he isn’t going to be friends with every dog he meets, so he will need an adopter who understands that. Finny’s perfect home is adult- or teen-only, preferably outside the city, where his high-energy personality is not just accepted, but celebrated. Are you the person Finny has been waiting for?

PLEASE SHARE! This sweet senior is the ultimate cuddle buddy. ❤️ Meet Ronnie, a 10.5-year-old mixed breed currently in foster through the @nycacc in Brooklyn, New York. Ronnie is a simple girl who finds joy in life’s little pleasures. While she likes going for long walks, she is truly happiest snuggling the day away by her favorite person’s side, soaking up all the belly rubs and ear scratches. Ronnie has lived with dogs in her previous homes and would likely do well with resident pets given slow, proper introductions. She prefers a gentle approach to meeting new people and would do best with a family without young children. Ronnie has so much love to give—she just needs someone to share it with. Are you the person she’s been waiting for? Click our link in bio to adopt this affectionate girl today! #adoptapet #adoptdontshop #rescuedog #doglover

PLEASE SHARE! This incredible bonded pair hasn’t received a single adoption application. 💔 Meet Lola (1 year old, female, white) and Thunder (3 years old, male, black), a pair of Pit Bull Terrier sweethearts who survived a tough life on the streets together before being saved by @twentypawsrescue in Brooklyn, New York. When they first arrived at the rescue, they were in heartbreaking shape. However, their hopeful spirits remained unbroken. Now, Lola and Thunder are healthy and thriving in foster care — but still, no one wants to take a chance on this amazing duo, and it’s completely devastating. Lola’s a graceful princess who loves attention, and Thunder has scars that remind us of his resilience. They’re both great with kids and other dogs, love making new human friends, and are wonderful travel companions. Will you give this inseparable twosome the happily-ever-after they so deserve?

Imagine thinking a dog is “less than” just because they’re from a shelter. Sadly, this is just one more misconception these incredible animals have to overcome. These dogs have all found their forever families, but so many like them are still waiting. Please share and help us remind the world that rescue dogs are perfect just the way they are. ❤️ #adoptapet #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #doglover

PLEASE SHARE! This happy pup just wants someone to give him a chance. 🥺 Meet Armani, a 10-month-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix currently under the care of @animals_clt in Charlotte, NC. Despite the unfortunate misconceptions about his breed, Armani is an incredibly sweet and gentle boy. He is already starting to master commands and is extremely treat-motivated, making training a breeze. Armani walks well on a leash, loves exploring the trails around the shelter, and enjoys running in the play yard. He’s also a big fan of belly rubs and will adorably accept them whenever they’re offered. Don’t let Armani become another overlooked shelter dog.

PLEASE SHARE! This spirted little guy has a big personality. ❤️ Meet Maxi, a 2-year-old Pomeranian currently under the care of @clawsadopt in Closter, NJ. This clever boy is looking for a single human to call his own—a best friend to share days filled with love, training, and adventure. Maxi knows a wide range of commands and enjoys going for walks, birdwatching, and tackling feeder puzzles to show off his smarts. He adores snuggling with those he trusts but can sometimes be reactive around new people, so he’ll benefit from a patient, understanding owner who can continue his training. Maxi will need to be in a home without kids. We know Maxi’s forever person is out there—could it be you?
