Join The Rescue Effect and Help These Adorable Dogs and Cats Find Homes!

Have you heard about The Rescue Effect? When a pet leaves the shelter through adoption or fostering, space and resources open up to give more animals a chance. Help one, help many — that’s The Rescue Effect. 

To celebrate The Rescue Effect this summer, we are shining a light on a few animals from our facilities across the country who are looking for loving homes! These adorable cats and dogs are available in New York City and Columbus, Ohio.

If you’re not in a position to adopt, you can still participate in The Rescue Effect by sharing this page with friends and family, or by looking into fostering or adopting at your local shelter. Learn more about how to participate in The Rescue Effect today, or scroll down to learn more about our furry friends who are eager to meet someone like you!  

Dogs and Cats Available for Adoption in the Tri-state Area

Delilah

Delilah is a true sweetheart, and everyone at the Adoption Center is a big fan of hers! She’s a big girl, which just means she has plenty of love to share with all of her friends. Walks with Delilah are quite leisurely — she’s the type who enjoys smelling the flowers along the way. She also loves playing with her toys and enjoys a tasty treat (or two)! Her portrait is cute (it was created by an ASPCA staff member who hopes that Delilah finds the paw-fect match) but we promise she’s even cuter in person! Visit Delilah’s profile to find out how to meet her.

Vermouth

This little lady is sure to charm you! Vermouth may just peek her head around the corner when she first meets you, but she’ll head right over for some treats or toys. She may also do well with another cat in the home, especially if they are social and confident. Are you ready to meet sweet Vermouth? Check out her profile!

Corona

Nothing slows down this regal cat! Corona is a confident guy ready to be the king of his future home. He is a three-legged cat, but he gets around easily, including the occasional zoomies. Corona is as handsome as he is unique, and is eager to cuddle up with a family of his own. Learn more on Corona’s profile!

Dogs Available for Adoption in Columbus, Ohio

Polka

Polka is ready to dance with you! She’s a social lady who loves being by her favorite people. When visitors come to see her, she becomes a happy, wiggly pup! She has also played well with other dogs and has shown off her playful and adaptable side. Polka is looking for adopters with an active lifestyle where she can tag along, or at least with another dog to play with. She is sure to spread joy anywhere she goes! Learn more about her by visiting her profile.

Truffle

This sweet canine companion is a true smarty pants! Truffle loves having a job to do and working on new training exercises. She can’t wait to practice her tricks with you! She also adores playing with other dogs, and she helps show shyer dogs the ropes of playtime. Truffle is sure to shine in a home that can keep her engaged with mental and physical stimulation. Would you like to meet this spirited girl? Check out Truffle’s profile!

If you don’t live near these areas, but you are still interested in participating in The Rescue Effect by adopting a new furry friend, please visit your local shelter. You can also visit our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC or the Los Angeles County’s Animal Care Centers.

If you aren’t ready to adopt, you can still make a huge impact on animals in need by fostering! Thanks to The Rescue Effect, fostering not only gives dogs and cats a taste of home life, but it also creates more space for pets at the shelter. You can foster for the ASPCA in Columbus, Ohio, New York City, Los Angeles (cat fosters only) and Weaverville, North Carolina (dog fosters only). You may also be able to sign up to foster with your local shelter!
