📣ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENT! 📣

Sometimes we pull cute, young, highly adoptable dogs from the shelter and they sit in foster and wait….and wait….and wait, for their chance at finding a forever family. This was the case with Terri. Pulled in September of last year, we thought she’d be adopted quickly. But as the weeks turned into months, she became more and more attached to her foster mom and the few meets she had and trials she actually went on, didn’t work out.

But as they say, good things come to those who do wait -and the planets aligned when Marilyn saw Terri’s picture on petfinder and knew instantly that she wanted to be the one to give her a chance at forever. ❤️Marilyn and her husband Dave have Jack Russell experience, understand the breed’s quirks and had one friendly senior dog(Terri’s new brother-Pepe🐶) who was happy to welcome a companion. Terri’s new humans are home with her most of the week, live in a house with a yard and have welcomed Terri into their lives -quirks and all.

This is Lena. Lena has been waiting for her forever home for too long. 😢Luckily she has a wonderful, committed foster who has been working with her to get her ready for her next chapter.

From Lena’s foster- “Lena’s first owner was her breeder. She was not sold so she was passed to her breeder’s mother for the first year of her life. During that time she lived in a crate in Brooklyn 24/7. She would potty in it and it would only be cleaned once per day. She saw the sky for the first time when brought to the ACC Christmas 2023 for euthanasia. She had very low socialization in that first year, and her experiences with her people did not appear to be positive. When her owner was asked what she liked most about her, the response was “Nothing”. Almost 2 years later I can say there is a lot of to love about little Lena Beana!

This dog is so much fun, she could play fetch for days and not stop. When she drops the ball she will pounce on it over and over until you throw another one, or you can leave her to her pouncing and she will be just as happy.

In the house she would live inside my skin if she could. A good cuddle session is her all time favorite activity, and she is stellar at it. Heated blankets are another favorite, but she also loves a good comfy beanbag chair. Anything she can burrow into, is Lena’s happy place. She is insanely sweet and gentle, with a soft coat that feels silky. When she is excited she hops around for love, then wiggles her whole body when she gets attention. She is a fast learner, and makes the most adorable cross eyed expression when she is really thinking through a task. My personal favorite thing about her is the way she hops when she gets excited, as though her ears are a sign she was a bunny in a past life.”

Lena would do best as an only pet -altho she does fine with cats! She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations and microchipped.

Please fill out an app to meet Lena and check out more pictures on petfinder!

When Layna (now Leila) appeared on a list of new intakes at Animal Care Centers of NYC at 13 years old, Beastly volunteer aksanaivaniuk ‘s heart sank. Aksana had a Chow Chow as a child and when she read that Leila was found in an apartment with her deceased owner and had been there likely at least a week without food or water, she knew she had to help. Shelters are no place for senior dogs-especially ones with medical issues.

After taking her resident dogs to meet her, Leila trotted off to the perfect retirement home with Aksana where she will now get the best food and vet care -and of course, lots of love! ❤️

Welcome to your forever home Leila.

🎉LUCA’S ADOPTION🎉

Luca who as a young, non-issue, adorable boy spent wayyyyy too long in foster and was passed over too many times -is now home!! 🏙️They say good things come to those who wait, and Luca knows this is true because he now has his own human🙋🏼‍♂️AND a canine 🐶sibling! Luca will never be alone, homeless or abandoned again and he has the kind of home we always dreamed of for him.

While fostering a dog for such a long period comes with lots of tears once they leave, it also comes with joy knowing they will have the life they always deserved.

Happy Tails Luca! 🦴🐾

This is Terri the terrier (see what we did there? 😉)

Terri has also been in foster since late last year similar to Luca. She had grown super attached to her foster mama which resulted in a couple of unsuccessful meets with potential adopters. Unbothered by all that, Terri continued to happily co-exist in her foster home with a small pack of other rescue dogs and cats without issue. When her foster went on vacation, she went to a temporary foster home and easily settled in after a few hours with another small senior dog-success! 🎉

We posted Terri again recently and she received a lot of interest and several applications. After a meet with an approved potential family, off she went to her trial home (which included several other rescue dogs). Unfortunately for whatever reason, she felt overwhelmed with the resident dogs and came back to us after a few days.😢

While it is sad for the dog when a trial doesn’t work out, it sometimes helps us to learn more about their needs. Now we are seeking a more specific home for Terri-one that is quiet without a lot of activity, one with only one or two smaller friendly dogs and one where she can relax and decompress until she gets used to her new human and canine friends. Not every dog can acclimate quickly and the longer they are in foster, sometimes the harder it is for them. While we are looking for a more specific home now, we still know Terri’s home is out there-WE just need to work a little harder to find it. 🏡

If you or someone you know could be a good fit, please fill out an app on our website or email us for more info.

Terri is housebroken, vaccinated, spayed and microchipped and adoptable in the NYC tri-state area. She is 10lbs and 4 years old, bonds quickly, loves walks, sleeping in bed with her humans and desperately wants to find one (or two) of those humans who will love her forever. 💚

🎉Meet Benji! 🎉

This sweet mild-mannered gentleman is looking for a new (forever) home. Benji is a rescue from Georgia who weighs about 40lbs and is estimated to be 6 years old.

Currently Benji spends his time in NYC with weekends in the country. He is an easy-going dog, house-trained, gentle with children and babies and rarely barks. He enjoys belly rubs, short walks to check the news when in NYC and lounging pool-side in the country⛱️🌳

Benji is neutered, vaccinated, healthy and ready for his next adventure!! If you’re looking for a sweet, medium-sized companion, Benji would love to meet you!(Unfortunately, although he has a lot of great qualties, Benji can’t read, 😊so we will be taking applications and helping him find that perfect family and home). 🏡

Applications are on our website! 🧡

A few weeks back we posted this little dude for . There was a ton of interest in 10 lb, 4-6 year old Luca, but few applications. While he did have a couple of approved applications, the potential adopters changed their minds and he never even got to go for a trial. 😢

Adoptions are super slow for the last several months; so slow that even cute, young, non-issue dogs are still sitting and waiting for their forever families. While it’s good to have committed fosters that hold onto dogs until they’re adopted, it’s also sad for the dog because the longer a pup waits, the more attached they get. 😕

We are looking for a home for Luca with another small, friendly dog because he needs a best friend! 🐶🐶 Initially fostered with another Beastly pup, Terri (who is also still looking for the perfect home), they became fast friends. He feels most comfortable with another pup or two to hang with.

Luca is fully vetted, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, housetrained and available for adoption in NY Tri-State area. He loves walks, 🐕kids, 👦🏼👧🏻humans and even kitties🐈‍⬛🐈!!

Please tell your friends and share this post and let’s find this tiny guy a great family!! 🏡

A raw and honest message to our rescue family... 🐾

The last few months have been some of the hardest we’ve faced. Last fall we took in dogs with serious medical needs — expensive, complex cases that we couldn’t turn our backs on.

Then in December, we were blindsided by something we never saw coming: , the platform we’ve used to process donations since 2020, filed for bankruptcy — while holding $29 million in funds from over 3,200 nonprofits. Ours included. We’ve hired a law firm to fight for that money. It’s a battle we didn’t ask for, but one we truly hope to win.

We’ve since moved to — a female-owned software platform designed specifically for animal rescues. Safe, transparent and built with missions like ours in mind.

We are operating close to the red. And we are asking for your help.

💛 If you’ve ever rooted for one of our animals, or been moved by our work — please consider a one-time donation today. Every single dollar goes directly to the animals in our care. 🙏

Yours (and the animals),
Reedu, Michele, Terri and Aksana

Sometimes dogs sit in foster homes for months because they have special needs, are older or need just the right family. Luca isn’t that dog. At 10lbs and a young, (but not too young) 4 -6 years old, a pretty much perfect dog sits and waits. 😞

Luca is likely a ShihTzu mixed with Poodle-both incredibly smart and sweet breeds. He loves everyone -especially other dogs and will need a home with another friendly dog. 🐶🐶

Luca is being fostered in NYC and is up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered and microchipped. He does have dry eye which requires daily drops, but administering them is quick and easy.

Luca has been in foster since late last year-could you be his new family? If not, please share and help us find this sweet boy a forever 🏡!
