Adopt Roxie NY Life turned upside down for me when my family surrendered me. Since then, I have been waiting for my forever home at

547 days. That’s how long Storm has been waiting for a home of her own. 💔

On her 5th birthday, her shelter friends made sure she knew she was loved. They threw her a birthday party with toys, treats, and a cake. 🎂🐾

But as happy as we were to celebrate her, there was one thing missing…

A home.

Storm came to the shelter as an owner surrender after she and the other dog in her home were not getting along. Her family chose to surrender her, and now, 547 days later, she is still waiting for someone to choose her.

Storm can be cautious when meeting new people and needs patience, consistency, and a calm environment to build trust. Once she feels comfortable, she shows her affectionate side and loves relaxing with her favorite people. She knows basic cues like “sit” and “come” and would thrive with someone who understands her needs and is willing to give her the time she deserves.

Storm would do best as the only dog in an adult-only home where she can finally have the stability, routine, and love she’s been waiting for.

She has spent 547 days celebrating birthdays behind shelter doors.

All Storm wants for her 5th birthday is a home.❤️

Please share her story. Help us make this the year Storm finally gets her happily ever after. 🐾

Today is National Dog Day… but for Roxie, it’s just another day waiting for someone to choose her. 💔🐾

For the 637th day, Roxie is spending this special day at the shelter instead of in the loving home she’s been waiting for.

Her family surrendered her when their lifestyle changed and they decided she no longer fit into their life. But maybe the question isn’t whether Roxie fit into theirs…
Could Roxie fit into yours?

Roxie is a sweet and playful terrier mix who loves people, toys, cuddles, and scent-filled walks. She may be shy at first, but with patience, she warms up into an affectionate companion. She walks well on leash and would thrive with teens and as the only dog in the home.

After 637 days, Roxie deserves to know what it feels like to finally be home.

Could you be the family she’s been waiting for? 🐶❤️

Roxie should be spending her summer racing through the yard, chasing toys, soaking up the sunshine, and making memories with a family who loves her.

Instead, for the second summer in a row, she’s watching the seasons change from a shelter yard.

It has been 594 days since Roxie was surrendered because of changes in her family’s lifestyle. Through it all, she hasn’t stopped believing someone will come for her.

This sweet, playful terrier mix has so much love to give. She adores people, loves sniff-filled adventures, enjoys toys, cuddles, and walks beautifully on leash. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a little patience, and you’ll discover the affectionate, goofy girl hiding underneath.

Roxie would thrive as the only dog in a home with teens or older, where she can finally be someone’s whole world.

She has waited long enough.

Please help us make this the last summer Roxie ever spends in a shelter. ❤️🏡
