Benoit has never let life's challenges define him. He is much more interested in the things that make him happy, like running after toys, showing off his manners, enjoying a treat, or curling up beside the people he loves.

This playful 25-pound French Bulldog has faced more medical hurdles in his 3 years than most dogs ever will. Thanks to the care of our veterinary team and the dedicated specialists who continue to oversee his treatment, Benoit has come through each one with remarkable resilience. Most recently, he underwent surgery, which has improved his overall health. We are delighted with the progress he has made.

Benoit's future family should know that he will continue to need lifelong care. He has limited vision in his remaining eye and receives ongoing evaluations from a neurologist, an ophthalmologist, and a dermatologist. He also easily takes daily medication to help manage his condition. These commitments are an important part of loving Benoit, and we're looking for someone ready to embrace them.

The good news? Benoit doesn't spend his days thinking about medical appointments!
He spends them being curious, playful, confident, and wonderfully affectionate.

If Benoit’s story has touched your heart, we'd love for you to learn more about him! His adoption information is here: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/38944242-new-york-new-york-french-bulldog

When Helen adopted Francis, she wasn't just welcoming home a dog; she was welcoming home another member of the family.

As she shares in this video, Francis has quickly become something of a neighborhood celebrity. Everywhere they go, people stop to admire him, ask about him, and want to say hello. But his favorite audience? Helen’s family. Whether he is soaking up the sunshine beside her dad or curling up close for some quiet company, Francis has settled into his new life just as though he was always meant to be there.

Francis is Helen’s second adoption from the Humane Society of New York, and hearing her describe what that experience has meant to her is something we are incredibly grateful for.

Thank you, Helen, for opening your heart to Francis and for allowing us to be part of your journey together!

Bruno has a habit of checking things out before diving in! It's all part of his charm.

One-year-old Bruno is a handsome gray and white kitten with soft fur, striking green eyes, and a long, athletic build that's always ready for the next adventure. He's curious by nature and loves to play, but he also has a thoughtful side that makes watching him discover the world so much fun.

Once Bruno feels comfortable, his affectionate personality shines through. He enjoys spending time with people, gets along well with other cats, and never says no to a tasty treat if one happens to come his way!

Every day is an opportunity for Bruno to learn something new, chase one more toy, and make one more friend. Now, all he needs is a family to share those adventures with.

The people lucky enough to know Jasmine understand that behind her discerning nature is a dog who loves deeply. Once you've earned your place in her world, you will find a loyal companion who enjoys leisurely walks, being fussed over, and spending time with the people she trusts.

At 14 years young, Jasmine knows exactly who she is, and honestly, we admire that about her! She isn't looking for just any home. She is looking for her home. An adult home without cats, where her personality will be appreciated, her boundaries respected, and her loyalty returned.

Do you see Jasmine spending her best golden years with you? Her adoption info is here:

Dreams can come true! Tinker Bell, now named Blessing, has found the home that loves and understands her! Pete says Blessing is the most loving dog they have ever had.

Originally left behind by a family that who had to unexpectedly move, Tinker Bell was taken in by a neighbor who already had 4 Chihuahuas of her own, but knew the little 11 pound Chihuahua mix pup needed an immediate accommodation. Having 5 dogs would be too much for her, but the Good Samaritan is a client of HSNY’s clinic and knew about the adoption center and requested that we take the young dog in for adoption. After all blood tests, vaccinations, medical treatments, including spaying her, were completed, Tinker Bell was ready to meet prospective adopters.

Tentative with new people that she meets, Angela and Peter had to make several visits to the Society to get to know Tinker Ball and develop a relationship. Patient and thoughtful, the couple put in the time to gain Tinker Bell’s trust.

Now renamed Blessing, Angela and Peter tell us she is doing fantastic. Not comfortable with loud city noises, their home in New Jersey has a yard and grass and quiet streets to take walks on. Now, Blessing really enjoys her ¼ mile morning walks and has the regular routines that have built her confidence and make her feel secure and safe.

So loved and well cared for, Blessing is truly happy now. Another very Happy Tail!

There are cats who quietly observe the room, and then there's Devon, who likes to speak up. Yes, he likes to talk!

If you're making the bed, he's coming to supervise! If you're looking out the window, he'll want to see what you've spotted! If you're meeting someone new, don't be surprised if Devon decides to introduce himself first!

Just over a year old, this handsome Devon Rex cat has a soft, chocolate-colored wavy coat, bright inquisitive eyes, and a personality that's every bit as distinctive as his look. He is playful, curious, and wonderfully confident, with a knack for making people laugh.

One of our favorite things about Devon? He's perfectly happy to climb up onto your shoulder just to be part of whatever you're doing. For him, life is better when it's shared!

If you're looking for a cat who's equal parts companion, comedian, and conversation starter, Devon just might be your perfect match.

If dogs could talk, we would probably understand them a lot better. The truth is, they already are!

Dogs communicate primarily through body language. A wagging tail, ears that move back, a stiff posture, or even where they are looking can all tell us something about how they're feeling. The more we learn to recognize those signals, the better we can respond with understanding and help them feel safe and confident.

As Bill Berloni shares in this video, one of the first things he notices is what the dog is paying attention to. Once you know what has their focus, you can begin to understand why they're reacting the way they are.

Learning to read your dog's body language doesn't just strengthen communication, it builds trust. And that's one of the greatest gifts we can give the animals who share their lives with us.

Esme has a pretty full schedule day to day!

First, she will investigate every corner of the common area to make sure she hasn't missed anything. Then she'll chase some toys, play with some feline friends, stop by the window to see what's happening outside, and when all that important work is done, she'll burrow under her blanket for a well-earned nap!

Born in November 2024, Esme is a year and a half old, sweet, gray and white kitten with the cutest little gray beauty marks around her mouth that make her easy to recognize and even easier to fall in love with!

She is adventurous, curious, and always eager to be part of whatever is going on. But she's equally happy being scooped up for a cuddle. Esme gets along well with other cats, enjoys the company of children, and is ready to bring her bright personality to a family of her own.

If your home could use a little more curiosity, a few more laughs, and a very snuggly cat at the end of the day, Esme would love to meet you.

Betty! What an intrepid girl she is!

When Betty's people had to abruptly move to a new home where dogs are not allowed a neighbor took Betty in. Unfortunately, her dog did not want another dog in their house, so they brought the very lovable and sweet Betty to HSNY.

One glance at Betty's adorable little underbite and soft gray face (swipe for her award-winning smile!), and it's hard not to smile yourself. Spend a little longer with her, and you'll discover that her personality is every bit as charming!

Whether she's exploring the neighborhood with you or happily riding shotgun on your next errand, she's always ready to be part of whatever you're doing.

Betty is 16 pounds and just celebrated her 12th birthday! She is gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully content sharing both life's small adventures and its quieter moments with the ones she adores.

Does Betty sound like who you’ve been looking for? Her adoption info is here:
