Meet Lotus! Lotus is a tender-hearted female Shih Tzu who\u2019s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place.<\/p>\n

At 6 years old and 12 pounds, Lotus is past the puppy chaos and ready to settle into a calm, patient home where she can truly blossom. She\u2019s gentle, quiet, and prefers a peaceful environment without too much hustle and bustle.<\/p>\n

Lotus’s ideal home is a calm household with patient adopters who understand that trust takes time, perhaps with another gentle dog who could help show Lotus the ropes, but she\u2019d also thrive as the only pet where she can soak up all the love.
\nWatching her confidence grow will be one of the most heartwarming journeys you\u2019ll ever experience.<\/p>\n

Lotus is ready for someone who sees her gentle spirit and will give her the safe, loving home she deserves. Could that be you?<\/p>\n

Lotus is currently being fostered in Staten Island, NY, and her adoption fee is $600.<\/p>\n

Lotus is a Patron Pup. Patron Pups have higher adoption fees due to varying reasons and are adopted quickly, even with these higher adoption fees. They may be purebred, a highly desirable breed, small in size fully grown, etc. These fees allow them to act as patrons to other pets in our care who may not be as adoptable, or have ongoing costs for medical care, contributing to a longer time in rescue, and therefore a higher cost for us to care for them. Patron Pups allow us to continue rescuing these other animals and give them a better chance at finding their forever homes as well.<\/p>\n

Meet MJ \u2013 The Gentleman Who Came Calling <\/p>\n

One day, MJ appeared at his foster mom\u2019s front door\u2014like a polite little visitor, as if he had rung the bell himself. With no microchip or neuter, he was clearly a stray, but his manners and warmth told a different story. MJ was as friendly and well-behaved as any beloved house cat, and it was clear he was ready to be part of a family.
\nSince then, MJ has become the heart of his foster home. He gets along beautifully with his fellow feline companions, often \u201cholding court\u201d as he watches over the gang with quiet confidence. He\u2019s a bit of a social butterfly, a gentle soul, and a natural caretaker\u2014especially to his best friend Luna, who adores him and rarely leaves his side.
\nMJ is FIV positive, but that doesn\u2019t slow him down one bit. He\u2019s healthy, energetic, and full of curiosity. He loves watching TV (football games are his favorite!), cuddling up with his humans, and soaking in all the love he can get.
\nMJ\u2019s story began with a knock at the door. Now, he\u2019s hoping the next door he walks through will be the one to his forever home.
\nMJ was born on 4\/1\/22, is up to date with vaccines, neutered, negative for FELV, positive for FIV and microchipped. He can be seen in his foster home by appointment.<\/p>\n

No one claimed her on social media sites or in the neighborhood. Blizzard is currently being fostered by her finder and has shown her foster that she is a very friendly lap kitten. She loves to be petted and loves to sit on your lap. Blizzard loves to run around and play, as she has kitten energy. <\/p>\n

She loves her toys and loves to be with her foster mom.
\nShe also loves everyone she meets.

Jenny is currently being fostered by a large family but she prefers the little people aka children, her spirit lightens up when they come around. She wants to play and talk. Jenny is very gentle, and her foster family has not experienced any biting or nipping with her. Caution should be exercised with children under the age of 10 because when she is excited, she might knock them over. In terms of other dogs, Jenny loves to play with them and take off running.<\/p>\n

Jenny loves being outside! She will sit by the window and watch the world go by. Once she gets outside she will roll around in the grass and take in all the smells. Jenny is currently working on leash training- with time and patience, her foster family is working on her courage!<\/p>\n

Jenny is currently being trained on basic commands such as sit, stay and come. It can be a bit challenging but with time and patience she will get it. She still has her puppy energy about her and needs exercise!<\/p>\n

In terms of house-training, Jenny is really good about letting you know when she needs the bathroom. As a precaution wee wee pads are placed in central locations just in case of an accident. She is also crate trained, just throw a stuffed animal in there with her and she settles in nicely.<\/p>\n

Jenny is currently being fostered in Rosedale, NY. Her adoption fee is $475.<\/p>\n

Meet Harley, Jack, and Batman. <\/p>\n

They were part of a TNR project where Mom and her litter were spayed and neutered. Mom is feeder-friendly only and is being well taken care of in the finder’s yard, while Batman, Jack, and Harley were taken indoors to be socialized. Batman is the most outgoing of the group, while Harley and Jack are shy when you first meet them, but once you start to play with them, they open up. <\/p>\n

Batman, Harley, and Jack are approximately 5 1\/2 months old and are very friendly and sweet kittens who like to be around people. They love to play and have kitten energy. They love to run around and wrestle. They also have another side to them, which is very snuggly. Batman loves to lay on you and he loves to be petted as well. Harley and Jack love to be petted. All three get along well with other cats and kittens. <\/p>\n

We would like to see these cuties adopted into a home with another cat or with one of their siblings. All three kittens are neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and FIV\/FELV negative. They have so much love to give someone\u2026 Can that be you? If anyone is interested in adopting these gorgeous kittens, please apply online to meet them at https:\/\/www.statenislandhopeanimalrescue.org\/applications (Courtesy\/StatenIslandHopeRescue)<\/p>\n

Meet Basel!<\/p>\n

Basel is a 4-month-old Mini Aussiedoodle puppy and an absolute fluff ball of energy! With one striking blue eye and one warm brown eye, he turns heads everywhere he goes. Outgoing, curious, and proudly the \u201cbig explorer\u201d between him and his sibling Bruno, Basel loves checking out anything new.<\/p>\n

He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he feels comfortable, he\u2019ll be your loyal little shadow, following you everywhere with his sweet puppy devotion.<\/p>\n

This smart boy is almost fully potty trained and doing great with going outside. When he\u2019s not brushing up on his manners, he\u2019s busy playing with toys, doing zoomies in the yard, or investigating whatever catches his eye.<\/p>\n

After all that fun, Basel loves nothing more than curling up with his humans for a cozy nap. He\u2019s the perfect mix of playful, snuggly, and gentle, and he\u2019s ready to bring joy, warmth, and endless love to his forever family.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a sweet, affectionate pup with a personality as special as his two-toned eyes\u2014Basel is your boy!<\/p>\n

Basel is currently being fostered in Clark, NJ. His adoption fee is $800.<\/p>\n

Basel is a Patron Pup. Patron Pups have higher adoption fees due to varying reasons and are adopted quickly, even with these higher adoption fees. They may be purebred, a highly desirable breed, small in size fully grown, etc. These fees allow them to act as patrons to other pets in our care who may not be as adoptable, or have ongoing costs for medical care, contributing to a longer time in rescue, and therefore a higher cost for us to care for them. Patron Pups allow us to continue rescuing these other animals and give them a better chance at finding their forever homes as well.<\/p>\n

Meet Bruno!<\/p>\n

Bruno is a 4-month-old Mini Aussiedoodle puppy with the fluffiest coat, the sweetest soul, and two stunning different-colored eyes that make him even more special. A timid but curious boy, Bruno prefers to take life at his own pace. When something new needs exploring, he\u2019s perfectly content to let his brother Basel lead the way, watching carefully before taking his own thoughtful steps forward.<\/p>\n

Shy at first, Bruno warms up gently\u2014but once he trusts you, he becomes a total cuddle bug. When it\u2019s nap time, he loves nothing more than curling up on the couch with his humans.<\/p>\n

He has normal puppy bursts of energy, enjoys running around the yard, and loves playing with Basel and his dog foster siblings. He\u2019s also doing great with learning to go potty outside and building good habits every day.<\/p>\n

Bruno is a soft, sensitive pup who just needs a loving, patient family to help him fully blossom. If you\u2019re looking for a gentle companion with a heart of gold and striking eyes to match\u2014Brunois your boy!<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s time to relax, Paris loves nothing more than snuggling close and nudging for more pets or belly rubs.

Meet Mowgli! This lovable 2.5-year-old Staffordshire Terrier\/Australian Shepherd mix weighs approximately 90 pounds and is ready to find his forever home!<\/p>\n

Mowgli\u2019s superpowers include being completely housebroken and crate trained\u2014no accidents here! He gets along well with both dogs and cats, though he may bark at new dog friends at first. With a little time, he warms right up! He\u2019s also easily redirected and responds well to \u201cno\u201d and \u201cleave it\u201d, making him highly trainable. In fact, Mowgli already knows a few commands and is eager to learn more\u2014especially if treats are involved! He loves playing with toys and, of course, enjoys a frozen peanut butter Kong.<\/p>\n

With high energy levels, Mowgli would thrive in a suburban home with a fenced-in yard where he can run and play freely. He\u2019d also love an active family to play catch with him and keep him engaged.<\/p>\n

Despite his playful side, Mowgli is also a sweet snuggle bug who loves attention and praise. He makes friends daily and, with a little guidance and a lot of love, will be an amazing companion. Are you ready to bring Mowgli home?<\/p>\n

Mowgli is currently being fostered in Ewing, NJ. His adoption fee is $425.<\/p>\n
