Find Your New Furry Friend: Meet Some of Our Cutest Companions!

We are more than a month into celebrating The Rescue Effect, our national campaign dedicated to helping animals in need find loving homes! By adopting or fostering an animal, you are helping to free up space and resources for shelters to help even more animals. Help one, help many — that’s The Rescue Effect.

In honor of this campaign, we are spotlighting some wonderful pets from our adoption programs across the country. These dogs and cats are all adorable in their own unique ways. It’s possible one of them might be the paw-fect match for your family, so sign up for a meet-and-greet today!

Dogs and Cats Available for Adoption in New York City

Brie

This social butterfly is eager to meet you! Brie has lots of love to give and will show off her excitement with full-body wiggles. She has great leash manners when out on walks, and she’ll show off the tricks she knows in exchange for a tasty treat. She loves to learn new things, too! If you’re as enthusiastic to meet Brie as she is, visit her profile to learn more!

Papaya

Papaya is just as sweet as her namesake! She is a quietly charming cat companion, and she enjoys spending time relaxing on the windowsill. She may even come to you when called, happily seeking affection. Papaya also enjoys chasing after wand toys and won’t say no to a lickable treat! Check out Papaya’s profile to learn more!

Mister

Mister is a wonderful senior guy who is looking for a soft landing. He enjoys spending his days relaxing around the home and keeping an eye on the neighborhood through the window. He is a cat who values his independence, but he’ll also approach his people for attention and love. Mister still loves to play, too! If you think your home is where Mister would love to spend his golden years, learn more on his profile!

Dogs Available for Adoption in Ohio

Nectarine

Nectarine is a silly lady with a gentle heart! She loves the home life, and she can’t wait to live it up every day with her future family. She also enjoys playing with other dogs, and she has been a rockstar in our playgroups. Nectarine has great manners while out on walks and is happy to spend the rest of the day cuddled up on the couch with a friend. Learn more about Nectarine by visiting her profile!

If you don’t live near these areas, but you are still interested in participating in The Rescue Effect, please consider adopting a pet from 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 join The Rescue Effect and make a major difference for animals in need as a foster caregiver! Fostering not only gives dogs and cats learn about home life, but it also opens up more space 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!
