Azul

is a 40-lb, 4 year old neutered male Puerto Rico Mix.

He has the most stunning blue eyes, and he can be very independent. We often find him playing with toys, tossing fun things around entertaining himself.

Azul had a rough beginning and is looking for a fresh start. He's a smart boy and will benefit from some socialization and obedience training. He'll do best in a adult, dog savvy home.

RUSTY

is a 2-year old, athletic neutered male boxer mix. He is an energetic guy who loves to play ball and romp around in the yard.

Because of his energy level a home with small children under the age of 10 years old is not recommended. He will also need a cat free home.

Rusty is a great dog, with great potential. He was found as a stray in W. Virginia and was in a foster home prior to coming to us.

LUISA

is a 2 year old spayed female, Catahoula mix. She can be a bit shy upon meeting new people but does warm up with just a few visits.

She enjoys playing with her sister Isabela, and doesn't mind other dogs as well.

Luisa wouldn't mind a home with cats. She will need basic obedience training and leash work.

MIKE

is a mix from Puerto Rico, who came in with his brother Michael. We estimate that he is about four years old, and he weighs about 30 pounds. Mike loves to run and play outside with other dogs. He is a sweet boy with a gentle nature, but he is shy with people and takes a long time to warm up.

To help him feel more comfortable with his new family, we are looking for a home with another dog. Mike needs a cat free home because he likes to chase them. He will need some socialization and obedience training. Mike walks well on a leash.

MICHEAL

is a sweet mix from Puerto Rico, who came in with his brother Mike. We estimate that he is about 4 years old and he weighs about 40 pounds. Michael is more outgoing than his brother, but he is shy with new people and takes a little while to warm up.

Once he gets to know you, he will come up to greet you with a goofy smile and a wagging tail. He loves to run around outside and play with other dogs, so we are looking for a home with a dog friend who can help him feel more comfortable. Michael will need some socialization and obedience training. Michael walks well on a leash.

RANDALL

Did you say tennis ball? I'm pretty sure I heard you say it... Oh, please throw it for me!?

Randall is happy boy, trained on the electric fence to stay within it's bounds and would do great in a home where he could continue to have lots of outside play time. This neutered boy is up to date on all his shots, ready to head home for cuddles, couch time and of course... chasing tennis balls! The more the better, because he can fit several in his mouth at once. Randall is completely house-broken and will alert you when he'd like to go out -or when there's a stranger (or perhaps just your neighbor) nearby. Please make an appointment to meet this smart boy and perhaps your days of endless fetch will begin today!

Randall is a 5 year old 65 pounds mix breed.

BUTTER PECAN

is a 2-year old, 45 pound mix from Puerto Rico. She is shy and skittish with new people, so she will need a calm quiet home with people who are willing to be patient and earn her trust. Butter Pecan does well with other dogs and would benefit from having another dog in the home to help her come out of her shell. She will need slow and steady socialization work to help her feel more confident.

RIP WHEELER

is a special boy who needs a special home.

Rip is a Belgian Malinois mix who was found roaming the streets, doing as he pleased. This hunk weighs in at a whopping 70 pounds (of muscle)! Rip came into the shelter and found himself overwhelmed with all of the commotion that a busy day brings, causing many distractions with his training.

Because of this, Rip took a “vacation” to focus on himself at Empire State K9 services, where he was professionally trained. Rip put in the hard work and came back a changed man! This boy THRIVES with consistency, structure and stability. For Rip to continue his success, he will need an active owner who is dedicated to continuing Rip’s personal journey to becoming the best version of himself that we all know he can be.

Empire State K9 has offered to work with Rip’s adopter to enable continued success and to aid in a smooth transition to “home life”, something that Rip has not been fortunate enough to have…yet!

Although Rip likes other dogs, not all other dogs like him, as his play style is very rough and rowdy. In order for Rip to get the attention and time he needs, he will need to be the only animal in the house. Due to his size, strength and doofiness, Rip will not be placed with children.

Rip qualifies for Pets for Patriots.
