Spring is finally here, which means beautiful flowers, warm weather and making new friends — including the four-legged kind!

At the Adoption Center in New York City, these adorable dogs can’t wait to celebrate the new season by your side. If you’re looking to adopt, consider one of these egg-cellent canine companions!

Satin

Young Satin is full of joy and curiosity! This energetic boy loves to play and socialize, especially with the other dog friends he has made here. He is looking for a patient adopter who will help build his confidence and get out all his puppy energy. After a long day, he likes settling down with an engaging puzzle toy.

Desi

Playful Desi is egg-cited to have a home of his own! He’s always eager to show off his goofy antics with anyone he meets. This goofy boy loves to play with friends, but he also has an independent side, content to play on his own. It’s always a joy to watch him throw a toy around!

Walter

Walter is a true lovebug! He’s a paw-fect match for anyone looking for a pup to snuggle with. He also gets along really well with other dogs, and has made many canine friends here.

Gary

This boy is all wiggles! Gary is silly and cute, and he knows it. He loves getting pets from his favorite people, and he loves playtime with his toys too. He has lots of confidence and is an eager student when it’s time to practice his training — he’ll do anything for a tasty treat! Gary can’t wait to get lots of belly rubs from his new family.

If you don’t live in the tri-state area, but you’re still interested in enjoying the spring weather with a new furry friend, we also have animals available for adoption in Columbus, Ohio, Asheville, North Carolina and Los Angeles. You can also visit your local shelter or our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC!

If you’re currently unable to adopt but could provide temporary care in your home, please consider becoming a foster caregiver! Cats and dogs greatly benefit from living in foster homes instead of a shelter environment. You can foster for the ASPCA in Columbus, Ohio, New York City, Asheville, North Carolina (dog fosters only) and Los Angeles (cat fosters only).
