Also if you’re looking for a particular kind of dog, Petfinder allows you to search listings across tons of rescues. You still apply with the individual rescue and take it from there

NYCACC is putting down many dogs on a weekly basis. You can save a life if you adopt from the "list" posted 2-3 times a week for animals to be destroyed the following day. Many dogs are put down simply because of respiratory infection which is totally curable but not in a shelter environment. I got my perfect little guy from there 4 years ago. Good luck.

Yes! I have a lot of experience with the NYC rescue community and will share my perspective:

1. Adopt directly from a city shelter (NYACC, BKACC), they do behavioral screenings and share history of how the dogs ended up in their care (owner surrender, owner died, stray dog etc). These dogs are in kennels and not foster homes so the shelter environment may make many animals stressed and they could behave differently in a home
2. Adopt from the ASPCA - many of their dogs are larger breeds and/or special needs as they recently shifted their focus to helping dogs most in need who need more resources, knowing that local NYC foster-based rescues can take care of the puppies and smaller dogs (which tend to go faster). Have not seen as many puppies for adoption through ASPCA in the past 2 years
3. Local foster-based rescues. There are dozens that operate out of NYC - to name a few: muddy paws, bideawee, waggytail, etc. Many of these rescues provide relocation aka bring dogs from overcrowded shelters in the south and place them in foster homes in NYC where dogs can acclimate outside of a shelter environment. Pros of this is that you can learn a little more about a dog’s personality and needs (by no means a guarantee). Typically they do 1-2 transports a month and will often pre-approve adopters and share previews of the dogs coming on transfer before posting on petfinder. They have a range of ages and sizes. Takes a bit of digging and you might want to apply with a few rescues to cast a wide net but in my experience this is one of the best ways to find a dog that fits your needs
4. Petfinder or other websites - platform where rescues post their dogs for adoption. You’re still adopting directly from the rescues in #3 above but through a single portal with access to multiple rescues. Convenience factor of this site means a lot of people can end up applying for the same specific dog and you might not get that dog. Hence #3 can sometimes give you better access to available dogs
5. Breed specific rescues - not many local to NYC and typically have a smaller # of dogs available, and many of them end up surrendered due to medical issues. Worth a shot if you’re really into one breed but low chance you’ll get a puppy this way

Yesterday, we officially released the first version of Critter, a new app for iOS & Android geared toward pet owners/people who help take care of your pets. The basic idea is to make it simple to manage and share pet care with a mobile platform for tracking and communicating care updates.

It’s simple: add your pets. Invite people who help with their care (family, friends, professionals). Build a care plan. Track and share updates/pics/docs/etc.

Hi,
Need some advice. My pet had been eating his kebble food on a consistent basis. Then I introduced a bit of raw chicken into his kebble and loved having it even more. But now I'm realizing that if I don't add chicken, he just doesn't eat his regular kebble food. What should I do? (Don't want to feed chicken every day)
