True Loving Companion Rescue

07/10/2025

Meet the Fluff Squad! 🐶💛
Six 12-week-old pups, part Great Pyrenees, part Collie, all heart. Rescued by a fellow dog-loving hero, these boys and girls are still waiting for forever homes, and it’s taking longer than it should.

Affectionate, playful, and people-focused, they’ll let you hug them, kiss them, even carry them like babies and they love every second. They’re social, gentle, and eager to be part of a loving home.

💡 Please do your breed research. These pups will grow into med-large, active dogs who need time, structure, and consistent training. A puppy is a serious, long-term commitment. They deserve families ready to love, guide, and grow with them.

Let’s get these cuddle bugs into the arms they deserve while they’re still young enough to grow up with their people. 💕

Rescue is hard enough without being ghosted.

When you fill out an application, ask to foster, or say you want to adopt, we get our hopes up. We start planning transport, holding off on other placements, sometimes even pulling animals from shelters based on your word.

And then… silence.

No response. No follow-through. No explanation.

We’re not a business, we’re people. Volunteers. We pour our hearts, time, and often our own money into saving these animals. Being ghosted doesn’t just waste time. It costs lives. It burns out good people. And it keeps animals in limbo longer than they should be.

If you’ve changed your mind, just tell us. We can handle it. What we can’t keep handling is silence.

Please, be kind. Be honest. And if you say you’re in, mean it💔🐾

Applesauce has some things he would like to go over!

1 he doesn’t care that his front legs don’t work!!

2 He won’t be fitted for a cart till he is done growing. Front carts are different from rear carts they don’t come with the same amount of availability to adjust. He is growing so fast he would grow out of a cart before it was built.

3 if he can fit in a cart with his legs they will stay! He does use them when playing, climbing stairs and getting on furniture.

4 he needs a family who can take on any extra costs when he is older. He may need his legs removed at some point, he may or may not use a cart.

5. He is a sweet boy with a large personality. He likes to be in charge and can be a bit of a butt head when meeting new dogs. Given the time and space he needs he eventually makes friends with everyone.

He is located in CT

URGENTLY NEED A HOME FOR SIMBA WHO IS ON BORROWED TIME - ONLY HAS UNTIL 6PM TODAY FOR A GROUP TO COMMIT!!! WE CAN ONLY MAKE THAT HAPPEN WITH YOUR HELP!

*** PLACED WITH RESCUE ***

He is at the shelter through no fault of his own, a sweet, affectionate, playful 4 year old boy who has only known the joys of family life. He lived with and loved a child and another dog, was playful with dogs outside the home, is house and crate trained but didn’t like baths or nail trims. Well, no one is perfect! His parent said the thing they loved most about BABY BOY SIMBA (aka Simba) is he “is very playful and loving.” But when his family suffered housing insecurity, Baby Boy Simba was sent to the shelter. His intake was heartbreaking, with staff noting “Simba began pacing rapidly around the lobby with a tucked tail, tense body, whimpering and unable to settle. He was receptive to the sound of squeaker toy at first, but then became fixated on watching his owner leaving.” We can’t imagine the pain of that for both Simba and the person he loved. It’s now been over a month, and not a single nibble from potential fosters or adopters. He remains lonely and unwanted. Let’s change that, shall we? Please begin sharing Baby Boy Simba (what a mouthful) for a family. Or, if you are an experienced foster or adopter, hurry and MESSAGE OUR PAGE FOR ASSISTANCE.

I HAVE A MOVIE!

Manhattan ACC, Medium Mixed Breed, Tan/White
Owner Surrender Reason: 5/5/25 – Housing insecurity
Behavior Assessment Rating: LEVEL 4
Recommendations:
No children under age 13
Medical Behavior Rating:

INTAKE NOTES – Date of Intake: 5-May-2025
Upon intake, Simba did not seek attention or approach staff. Tail tucked and tense body. Slightly interested in treats when tossed, but picky. Allowed partial MC scan (-) but head shy and actively avoiding/backing away during the scan. Owner helped to finish scan. Difficult to leash due to actively avoiding and backing away. Once leashed, Simba began pacing rapidly around the lobby with a tucked tail, tense body, whimpering and unable to settle. Receptive to following the sound of squeaker toy at first, but then became fixated on watching owner leaving. K9 behavior rep assisted with walking Simba down the hallway to main medical for vaccines. VS was unable to vaccinate due to Simba pacing rapidly with tense body low to ground and actively seeking an exit/escape. VS placed Baby Boy Simba into kennel with no issues.

OWNER SURRENDER NOTES – BASIC INFORMATION:
Baby Boy Simba (previously known as Simba) came to MACC an owner surrender due to housing insecurity. He was with his parent for 4 years. Simba lived with 1 adult, 1 child (Age 13), and 1 other dog (medium mixed breed). Around strangers Simba is tolerant; he is shy and likes to make contact on his own terms. He may hard bark but only in the case of a stranger approaching with an unusual gait, with loud volume, approaching too quickly, or otherwise approaching in a way that feels threatening to Simba. When visitors come to the home, Simba is shy and will hide at first, and will want to make contact on his own terms. With children, Simba is friendly, outgoing and playful. Around familiar and unfamiliar dogs he is playful. He has had no off leash experience with unfamiliar dogs. He has had no experience with cats so his behavior is unknown. Simba considers his toys valuable and will hover over them with a tense body if the item is touched. Simba is housetrained. His energy level is high.

Other Notes:
Simba relieves himself outside on walks and in a designated area of the home. He has general anxiety (paces, whines, unable to settle) and destructive tendencies.

Has this dog ever had any medical issues? No

For a New Family to Know
Simba is a social, affectionate, very active and playful guy. He likes to spend most of his time where people are or in his crate (up to 12 hours). Simba does not allow his family to trim his nails or touch his paws; it makes him fearful/uncomfortable. Simba did not have a set walk schedule, but when he was walked he pulled very little to mild on leash. Simba is crate trained and does well up to 12 hours (we at DLM do NOT recommend this). Simba does not enjoy getting in, or being in, a car. He knows the cue for “sit” and “go.” His owner’s favorite thing about Simba is he is “very playful and loving.” His parent didn’t know what Simba’s favorite activities or toys are or his favorite foods and snacks.

Bite history: Yes.

Simba has bitten twice, the first time being 4 years ago when he was a puppy and the second was at least 1+ year ago. When he was a puppy, owner reports that he was playing with Simba in a rough/aggressive manner, and Simba nipped his hand and released immediately during rough play. No broken skin. Owner believes that this incident occurred because he as the owner encouraged the rough play and Simba, being a puppy at the time, became over aroused and mouthy during play.

The second incident was during a visit to the groomer's. Simba escalated to biting during nail trim. Since owner was not present for the incident, they cannot recall whether the groomer mentioned any warning signs, but they do know that the bite did not break skin. Owner reports that Simba will not tolerate any nail trimming, whether at home or with a professional groomer. He may become fearful when paws are touched.

Neither of the two incidents have broken skin nor have they required medical attention.
Housetrained: Yes
Energy level/descriptors: High (often playful/busy)

Other Notes: My dog goes potty on:

INTAKE BEHAVIOR:
Date of intake: 5-May-2025
Summary: Tense body tucked tail.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
Date of initial: 5-May-2025
Summary: Tense body for exam. Resists restraint.

ENERGY LEVEL:
Simba is described as active and enthusiastic. They will need daily mental and physical activity to keep them engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm. We recommend feeding with puzzle feeders and food-dispensing toys. And we recommend using force-free, reward-based training techniques for Simba.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: Level 4

Recommendations:
No Children under Age 13

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to fearful behavior and bite history we recommend an adult only home.

Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Destructive behavior,Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful,Anxiety,Bite history (human)

Potential challenges comments:: Resource Guarding: Simba's previous owner states that he will become tense and hover over toys that are in his possession. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Simba's mouth, and any time something is removed they should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. Please see handout on Resource Guarding.

Destructive Behavior: Simba's previous owner states that he has destructive tendencies in the home with furniture, the walls, shoes, and other household items. We are unaware of what, if any, attempts were made to remedy this behavior but we suggest to future adopters that Simba will need to be provided with physical and mental stimulation and with a variety of appropriate and engaging chew toys so they can engage in necessary chewing behavior without damage to human objects. Please see handout on Destructive Behavior.

Fearful: Simba has been observed to have a tense body, tucked tail and retreats from handlers. It is important to always go slow and give Simba the option to walk away from any social interaction. They should never be forced to approach anything that they are uncomfortable with or submit to petting or handling. It should always be their choice to approach a new person or thing. Simba would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to their new surroundings. Please see handout on Decompression Period.

Bite History (Human)/ Handling Sensitivity: Please see bite history above for more details. Please see handout on Bite History and Potential for Future Aggression. Please see handout on Handling and Touch Sensitivity.

Anxiety: Simba's previous owner states that he is anxious in the home and will pace, whine, and be unable to settle. Simba has been observed to be anxious during his stay in the care center. Noted to be coxalizing, whimpering, panting, and pacing back and forth while on leash. If Simba displays anxious behavior in their future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving them other things to focus on to alleviate their anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used. Please see handout on Generalized Anxiety.

This compact cutie weighs in at just 40 pounds, the perfect size for snuggles on the couch or quiet companionship by your side. She was a breeze during exams and shines in calm, loving environments where she can just be—soft, safe, and cherished. Tinkibelle does have some medical needs, which shelter staff will explain—but none of it dims her spirit. What she needs now is a warm bed, a full bowl, and someone who will tell her, “you’re home for good.” Let this golden girl spend her golden years knowing what real love feels like. She’s waited long enough. 🌙💗

🚨 NGOMA IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME AND NEEDS YOUR HELP - IF YOU CAN OPEN YOUR HEART AND HOME TO HER, REACH OUT TODAY 7/3 ASAP🚨

🚨 URGENT: Ngoma 💛 Needs a Hero 🐾

Ngoma was found near an enclosure at the Bronx Zoo, shy, unsure, and all alone. But beneath that timid shell is a sweet, wiggly girl just waiting to shine. At the shelter, she’s soft and gentle, especially around other dogs. She blossoms in play and clearly longs to connect.

But Ngoma is out of time. She’s on the euthanasia list, and without a home, she will not make it out. She urgently needs a soft place to land, a calm, kind home (ideally with another dog) where she can build confidence and finally feel safe. She has so much love and light to give.

Please don’t scroll past Ngoma. Don’t let her slip away.

Ngoma is 2 years old, female, 58 lbs, fully vetted. Currently just outside CT, transport available to CT and nearby areas.

Meet Your New Best Friends: A Bond That’s Unbreakable

These two sweethearts have come a long way.

Once kept in a garage and used for backyard breeding by an irresponsible owner, they were rescued by Animal Control—and now they’re ready for a second chance at the life they deserve.

Now spayed, neutered, vaccinated, disease tested (all negative!), and microchipped, these two loving dogs are the definition of resilience. Despite what they’ve been through, they remain affectionate, playful, and deeply bonded. We would love to see them adopted together—they truly bring out the best in each other.

-Adoption Fees: WAIVED
-Includes: 6 weeks of free training
-Also comes with a voucher for a vet exam and 2026 rabies vaccine

They’re ready to love you. Are you ready to love them back?

Stop by to meet this adorable duo. They’ve waited long enough.

Primrose, grey brindle and white is 2.
Pesto, black and white is 3.
