💔🐾 FINN HAS BEEN WAITING… ALMOST TWO YEARS. 🐾💔

How is it possible that a dog as sweet and lovable as Finn is still waiting for his forever home?

Finn is approximately 3–4 years old, and he has spent nearly TWO YEARS of his life at the shelter. Two years of waiting. Two years of hoping. Two years of watching other dogs find their families while he waits for someone to choose him. 🥺

And Finn? He is just the sweetest boy. ❤️

💋 He LOVES giving kisses!
🎾 He LOVES to play!
🤗 He LOVES getting pets and attention!
🍖 And yes… Finn LOVES to eat! 😂❤️

He’s got a whole lot of love to give and is ready to finally have a family of his own.

Finn shouldn’t have to spend another year waiting behind a kennel door. He deserves a couch, a family, a soft bed, and someone who will love those kisses, play with him, and remind him every day that he is finally home. 🏡❤️

🍂 This fall, could you be the person Finn has been waiting for?

Please share Finn. His forever family may be just one share away. 🐾❤️

🍂🐾 FALL FOR OUR GIRLS! 🐾🍂

Top-Lizzie

Bottom- Bella

The leaves are changing, the air is getting crisp, and there’s no better time to fall in love! ❤️

Our beautiful girls at the Yonkers Animal Shelter are patiently waiting for someone to see them, love them, and take them home. 🏡🐶

Each one has her own personality, her own special little quirks, and a heart full of love just waiting to be shared.

Some are playful.
Some are cuddly.
Some are silly.
Some are gentle and calm.
But every single one deserves a family to call her own. 🍁❤️

🍂 This fall, don’t just fall for the colors… fall for a shelter girl! 🍂

Come meet the girls who are hoping that this is the season they finally get their happily ever after. 🐾💕

💔 18 MONTHS.

18 months of watching people walk into the shelter…

18 months of watching other dogs leave with their families…

18 months of wondering if today might finally be his day.

And yet, Bullit is still waiting. 🥺🐾

Bullit is 5 years old, and underneath that big beautiful face is a complete mush who just wants to be loved. ❤️

He LOVES to snuggle.
He loves his toys.
He loves being close to his person.
And when he trusts you, he gives you his whole heart. ❤️

Imagine spending 18 months in a shelter when all you really want is a couch to curl up on, a few favorite toys, and someone to call your own.

Bullit would love to be your one-and-only dog — the center of your world and the recipient of all the love he has been saving up.

🥺 How much longer should he have to wait?

He has waited long enough.

He deserves to wake up tomorrow morning in a home instead of a kennel.
He deserves to know what it feels like to be chosen.
He deserves his forever.

Please don’t scroll past Bullit.
Maybe you can’t adopt him — but you can share him. And sometimes, one share is the reason the right person finally sees him. ❤️

💔 10 MONTHS… AND NERO IS STILL WAITING. 💔

How is it possible that this handsome boy has spent 10 months of his life in a shelter? 😔🐾

Meet Nero. He’s 3 years old, playful, loving, and incredibly loyal to his person or people. Once Nero chooses you, he wants to be YOUR boy — your companion, your playmate, and your best friend. ❤️

🎾 He LOVES to play.
🐶 He is dog-friendly.
❤️ He forms strong bonds with his people.
🏡 What he really wants is a family to call his own.

Nero shouldn’t have to spend another month watching other dogs leave while he stays behind. He has so much love to give, and he’s been waiting long enough.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will be thrilled to have you as his person, please come meet Nero. Maybe you’re the one he’s been waiting 10 months for. 🥹❤️

🐕 A meet-and-greet with your resident dog is required.
