This Sunday, the best musicians and pop stars will have their hard work rewarded — these talented, adoptable dogs deserve to be recognized, too! Available at our adoption programs in Ohio, North Carolina and New York, these canine companions can’t wait to make wonderful music by your side. Once you meet them, they’ll be in perfect harmony with you!

Columbus, Ohio: Toast

Let’s all raise a glass to Toast! This young guy is ready for a fresh start and a family to call his own. He is as social as they come, and he enjoys making friends with people and other dogs alike. Toast already knows a few commands, and he is eager to keep learning in his new home. He is an energetic guy but also quite laidback, and he is sure to brighten your day. Visit Toast’s profile to learn more about him!

Weaverville, North Carolina: Echo

Echo would love to sing back-up vocals with you! He’s a young dog with a big personality, and he’s full of wiggles and zoomies. He loves playing with toys and meeting other dog friends. He can be shy at first, but with some patience (and tasty treats), he’ll quickly open up. If you’re ready for a lot more joy in your life, check out Echo’s profile!

New York City: Lafayette

This handsome German Shepherd is ready to shine! Lafayette is learning and growing every day, and he is motivated by lots of praise and treats. He’s a true people pleaser! He enjoys interactive games and playing with squeaker toys, which really boost his confidence. Lafayette would especially enjoy living in a home with a private outdoor space where he can really stretch his legs. Does this special guy sound right for your home?

If you don’t live near these areas, but you’re still interested in adopting a rockstar pup, there are many more adoptable animals at your local shelter! You can also visit our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC and the Los Angeles County’s Animal Care Centers.

If you can’t adopt right now, you can still make a major impact by becoming a foster caregiver! Shelter animals like these benefit greatly from spending time in foster homes. You can foster for the ASPCA in Columbus, OhioPawling, New YorkNew York CityWeaverville, North Carolina and Los Angeles.
