Our love for the animals who enter our care doesn't end when they leave our doors and begin their new lives.

Before adoption, our staff has the privilege of getting to know them, celebrating their milestones, learning their quirks, earning their trust, and cheering them on every step of the way.

Hearing adopters like Helen share their experience means so much to us.

As she shares in this video, Francis is still greeted by familiar faces whenever he comes back to visit. The people who cared for him before adoption remember him, know him, and are so happy to see the wonderful life he has with his family.

That lasting connection is one of the most special parts of rescue, and we are so grateful to the adopters who allow us to continue being a part of their journey.

Rescued from a rooftop in Bushwick, this beautiful brown tabby-and-white girl has embraced indoor life with enthusiasm!

She loves exploring every corner, chasing her favorite toys, scratching on her scratch pad, and yes, posing for the camera whenever the opportunity presents itself. (Yep, those green eyes will capture more than just your heart!)

Ruthie would prefer to be the only pet in the home, where she can focus all of her attention on her favorite people instead.

If you're looking for a cat who brings curiosity, confidence, and just the right amount of fun to everyday life, Ruthie may be exactly who you've been waiting for!

Sunday Brunch with Waffles and Pancake! Two-month-old adorable siblings Waffles and his sister, Pancake, were recently surrendered to us.

The love they have for each other is matched by the love we have for them. We are preparing them for their future adoption with medical check-ups, socialization and in time, spaying and neutering.

When they are ready to be adopted, this bonded pair would love to go home together, so if you’re up for more cuteness that you can possibly handle, please submit your application.

Dogs and cats may share our homes, but they don't share the same nutritional needs.

Dr. Rubinstein explains in this video that both canned and dry diets can be healthy options for dogs, provided they're complete, balanced, and your dog always has access to fresh water.

Cats, however, are a different story.

Because dry food is typically higher in carbohydrates and lower in moisture, an all-dry diet may increase the risk of certain health concerns in some cats, including urinary issues. Male cats, in particular, can develop urinary blockages, which are a true medical emergency and require immediate veterinary care.

Every pet has unique nutritional needs based on their age, health, and lifestyle. If you are unsure which diet is right for your dog or cat, your veterinarian can help you choose a feeding plan that is tailored to them.

The best diet isn't simply wet or dry, it's one that helps keep your pet healthy for years to come!

A sweet black-and-white beauty, Valentina’s endearing personality is only rivaled by her equally endearing white whisker mustache!

Whether she's curled up in your lap, batting around a toy, or keeping an eye on the world from the window, Valentina is happiest when she is close to her people.

Valentina came to the Humane Society of New York after a family's two cats unexpectedly had kittens, leaving them with more cats than they could care for. Now, she is ready for a home where she can settle in for good.

Valentina prefers being the only feline in the household, and she is perfectly happy soaking up all the love and attention herself. With her affectionate, playful, and easygoing nature, she is the kind of companion who makes a house feel just a little more like home.

If you're looking for a loyal sidekick with an adorable little mustache and an even sweeter personality, Valentina would love to meet you!

Happy Tails are here again!

Bradley is having so much fun in his new home in the country! This sweet boy was originally found abandoned and tied up by a marina. Now, he is meeting frogs and leaping in ponds!

Pamela loves him so much and Bradley has made himself right at home. When he’s not running around outside enjoying nature and playing, he enjoys lounging on the couch or cuddling in bed with his new mom.

We knew he was a sweetheart the minute he was surrendered to us. Now he is in a home that will love and care for him forever. This happy tail has us crying happy tears. We love you both!!

Simon is a handsome, 9-year-old, brown tabby with striking green eyes and a calm, thoughtful nature. He enjoys scratching on his favorite scratch pad, burrowing into soft blankets, and simply sharing a peaceful space with someone he trusts.

Before coming to the Humane Society of New York, Simon didn't always feel safe in his own home. Because of that, we are hoping to find him a quiet home where he can be the one and only pet. A place where he'll be treated with the kindness and patience every animal deserves.

The wonderful thing about Simon is that once you've earned his trust, you know it's genuine. And that's a pretty special feeling!

Can you be allergic to dogs and still have one? The answer isn't always as simple as "yes" or "no."

As Bill Berloni explains in this video, what many people call a "hypoallergenic dog" isn't quite that straightforward. Allergies can be triggered by different things, including a dog's hair, dander, or even saliva.

If you are thinking about adding a dog to your family but have allergies, one of the best things you can do is spend time with different types of dogs beforehand. Visiting friends with different breeds or interacting with dogs in a variety of settings can help you better understand what may trigger your symptoms before making a lifelong commitment.

Remember, intentional preparation and research can help set you and any future furry companion up for success!

Benoit has never let life's challenges define him. He is much more interested in the things that make him happy, like running after toys, showing off his manners, enjoying a treat, or curling up beside the people he loves.

This playful 25-pound French Bulldog has faced more medical hurdles in his 3 years than most dogs ever will. Thanks to the care of our veterinary team and the dedicated specialists who continue to oversee his treatment, Benoit has come through each one with remarkable resilience. Most recently, he underwent surgery, which has improved his overall health. We are delighted with the progress he has made.

Benoit's future family should know that he will continue to need lifelong care. He has limited vision in his remaining eye and receives ongoing evaluations from a neurologist, an ophthalmologist, and a dermatologist. He also easily takes daily medication to help manage his condition. These commitments are an important part of loving Benoit, and we're looking for someone ready to embrace them.

The good news? Benoit doesn't spend his days thinking about medical appointments!
He spends them being curious, playful, confident, and wonderfully affectionate.

If Benoit’s story has touched your heart, we'd love for you to learn more about him! His adoption information is here: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/38944242-new-york-new-york-french-bulldog

When Helen adopted Francis, she wasn't just welcoming home a dog; she was welcoming home another member of the family.

As she shares in this video, Francis has quickly become something of a neighborhood celebrity. Everywhere they go, people stop to admire him, ask about him, and want to say hello. But his favorite audience? Helen’s family. Whether he is soaking up the sunshine beside her dad or curling up close for some quiet company, Francis has settled into his new life just as though he was always meant to be there.

Francis is Helen’s second adoption from the Humane Society of New York, and hearing her describe what that experience has meant to her is something we are incredibly grateful for.

Thank you, Helen, for opening your heart to Francis and for allowing us to be part of your journey together!
