Meet Buddy! 🤍

Buddy is a 13-year-old, 15lb Maltipoo and an absolute little dream.

He is sweet, calm, affectionate, adaptable, and so easy to love. Buddy enjoys walks, cuddles, relaxing at home, and being near his people!

He’s house trained, great on leash, quiet indoors and outside, friendly with dogs, good with cats, and gentle with adults, kids, and new people.

Buddy loves getting outside, but he is just as happy curling up on the couch after a good stroll.

Buddy is loving, trusting, easygoing, and ready to be someone’s perfect little companion.

Apply to adopt Buddy through our website! 🐾

Meet Mel!💞🌸

Mel is 25 pounds of floppy-eared sweetness, kiss attacks, and professional-level snuggling — with just a tiny hint of mischief.

At about 1.5 years old, she’s the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. She loves other dogs, adores her people, and has been known to keep everyone laughing with her little adventures — whether she’s hiding in a toy bin like it’s her secret clubhouse or casually climbing onto tables like she owns the place.

Mel is potty pad trained and an absolute angel at home. The busy NYC streets are still a little overwhelming for her, so she’s looking for a patient adopter who can help her build confidence one walk, treat, and “good girl” at a time.

She may be shy outside, but inside she’s all love, personality, and silly little moments. With time, consistency, and someone to believe in her, Mel is going to blossom into the most loyal, affectionate best friend.

If you’re looking for a sweet, funny, snuggly pup who will keep you smiling and repay your patience with endless love, Mel might be your girl.

Apply to adopt Mel through our website! 🐾

Meet Zondo, aka ZZ, aka Zondovsky 💙

5 years old, 15 lbs, and the definition of easy company.

Founder of Chill. Professional cozy boy. Tiny gentleman. Certified good vibes.

ZZ loves people, kids, and other dogs, is potty trained, low-maintenance, and happiest just being part of your day.

He’s the kind of pup who’s always happy to be near you — whether that means curling up beside you on the couch, following you quietly from room to room, joining you for a little stroll, or soaking up a sunny spot.

💙

Apply on our website to adopt Zondo and check out his Petfinder profile to learn more!

Meet Maxie 💙👑

Max is a confident little king with serious “unbothered” energy. Public transit chaos? No problem. Baths? Deeply unnecessary, but tolerated.

His favorite thing in the world is going for walks, and lucky for his future family, he’s a great little walking buddy!

At home, Maxie is an independent Velcro dog — he’ll follow you from room to room, supervising like the tiny ruler he is, then settle into a pet bed nearby for a well-earned nap. He may not throw himself into your lap, but he absolutely wants to be close… and yes, he’ll quietly enjoy the cuddles.

Basically, Maxie is looking for loyal subjects, good walking routes, cozy beds, and a forever home worthy of his royal presence. 💙

Apply to adopt Max on our website!

Still smiling after such a special weekend 🤍

We’re so grateful to our partners at for always showing up for True North and our pups. From giving us a space to bring people and dogs together, to helping with daycare and boarding when our pups need a safe place to stay, their support truly makes a difference.

To our fosters — thank you for getting your dogs there, spending the day with us, and helping each pup shine. These events don’t happen without you.

And to everyone who came by, met the pups, asked questions, applied, or offered support — thank you. Every person who shows up helps create more chances for our dogs to find their people.

And the best part: so many pups found their forever families, which is exactly why we do this.

🤍
