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?

Here is Rex, now named Otto, on his way to the beach with his new companion, Deuce. After a fun-filled day of playing by the sea, Otto is ready for a nap.

Otto is celebrating life like never before! Our handsome black Standard Poodle was surrendered to the Society in January when his owners said they were moving and couldn’t take their dog with them.

Otto was confused when he first arrived. He wasn’t housebroken or neutered, and was unsure how to play with other dogs. We had to show him that learning could be fun, and that his meals, walks and playtimes were on a schedule so he could relax and let us wait on him. He, true to his breed, was smart and sweet.

When Otto was featured on Facebook and Instagram someone took notice and let a friend know that a gorgeous poodle was looking for a home. Dana and her poodle, Deuce, were searching for another companion and quickly sent in an adoption application.

After meeting with Dana, and going to her home with Otto to see how he and Deuce would get along, it was clear that this was a perfect match. Once adopted, Otto went into puppy training (naturally he was an A+ student!) and the three of them have become the happiest family ever.

We could watch this video over and over and never get tired of seeing these two having fun. Happy tails indeed!

The 2025 Tony Awards in memoriam tribute sadly included our dear friend, Gavin Creel. Here is a picture of Gavin and Nina, (formerly Athena) the dog he adopted from us, happily driving along. They had a joyful life together for such a brief time. The end came far too soon for Gavin. We thank his partner, Alex, for continuing to care for and love Nina. Our hearts are broken.

Stunning Pearl, now Rabbit, has been adopted by Erika! Rabbit’s new home is filled with windows for bird watching, her choice of water fountains and classical music.

Erika told us that being with Rabbit is pure heaven. She purrs all the time, knows her new name, and is loving and affectionate.
The perfect cat found the perfect home.

Congratulations you two! Happy Tails!

As Carolyn and Alex eagerly awaited Toby’s homecoming, we had to let them know he would need one more week with us.

Toby was originally brought to HSNY in rough shape. His beginning marked by neglect and hardship. Before he was ever made available for adoption, Toby received comprehensive medical care, diagnostics, necessary procedures, medication, behavioral support, and above all, constant love and care from our staff.

While that extra week of waiting wasn’t easy— for Carolyn and Alex, it only deepened their appreciation for the care he’d received.

Later, when they brought Toby to their local vet to establish care, they were told something we never take for granted: they’d never seen such thorough work done on a rescue. The records were detailed, the care was meticulous, and Toby’s health was in excellent standing.

For Carolyn and Alex, it affirmed that Toby had been deeply cared for, and that their choice to adopt from HSNY was the right one.

You met her as the leading lady in our Monochrome Muses video, and now it’s time for a proper introduction! Meet Valentina!

Valentina is a 9-month-old kitten with a soft heart and a flair for the spotlight. Sweet, petite, and perfectly poised, she’s happiest curled up in your lap, batting around her toys, or soaking in the view from a sunny windowsill.

She came to us as part of an unexpected litter between two house cats. After we spayed and neutered both parents to prevent any future surprises, the family—overwhelmed by the number of kittens—surrendered her to our care.

Now, she’s ready for a quieter place to shine! Ready for a one-cat show? Valentina’s standing by!

Ariel has been under our care for four months.

The woman who surrendered the Yorkie-mix asked us to please look after her. She had taken the puppy to her local vet several times, who diagnosed Ariel with an upper respiratory infection and continued to vaccinate, but the puppy never got better. She also said that Ariel suddenly became blind and was walking in circles and bumping into things.

Ariel arrived at the Society weighing only 2 pounds at five months of age, and was so weak she could barely stand. Ariel did appear blind, was disoriented, faint, drooling, in shock and had a large wound on her head. Her coat was heavily matted, and there was hair loss on the top of her head and throughout her body. We took bloodwork, X-rays and ultrasounds to try to determine what was wrong. Our doctors recommended we take her to an ophthalmologist, and it was determined that she was not blind.

Our medical team did everything within their scope, including further testing which revealed that she had a liver shunt, a disease that prevents blood from flowing through the liver for detoxification. That explained the unusual symptoms that suddenly took hold. Ariel was in fact toxic, neurological and her body was shutting down.

We took Ariel to an internal medicine specialist who recommended surgery. Preliminary to surgery, the doctor prescribed a daily treatment of liver support medicines, antibiotics, fluids, supplements and a prescription food, so that she would gain weight, her health would improve, and she would be stronger for the procedure.

For Ariel’s hair loss and very sensitive skin, we carefully bathed her with a prescription shampoo and applied topical prescribed serums and ointments.

Ariel slowly and gradually improved. We were so pleased when we had increased her weight to 6 pounds and she was ready for her specialized surgery, which also included having her spayed.

Today, she is still recovering but is very active and doing well. Ariel is not quite ready for adoption, but she wanted to say hello and ask that you keep her in your thoughts as she regains her health!

Six-month-old Amora is the kind of kitten who starts off shy, but with time ends up making herself right at home!

Once she’s scoped out the scene and feels safe, Amora’s playful personality begins to peek through. She enjoys romping around with her kitten friends, birdwatching from the window, and curling up close when it’s time to rest.

Gentle, curious and sweet Amora is ready to bloom in a home of her own!

In part one of this Training Tuesday series, our Director of Animal Behavior and Training, Bill Berloni, works with adoptable Mocha to demonstrate some training tips, including what to do when your dog makes a mistake in training.

It is important to remember, mistakes aren’t always a setback. They are a part of how dogs learn what works and what doesn’t. Rather than scolding, Bill shows how to calmly reset, redirect, and reinforce the behavior he does want.

Redirection and patience are two key ingredients in building a strong foundation of trust (and fun!) in training between you and your dog.

Stay tuned for the next installment in this series!

As the funeral of fallen Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson began, his grieving Labrador Retriever, Hawkeye, walked up to the casket and lay down beside it with a sigh. Tumilson was among 30 Americans killed when Taliban insurgents brought down their helicopter.
