More about the shelter
Our mission is to save the lives of dogs in desperate need while spreading public awareness against animal cruelty and overpopulation.
Everyday we save vulnerable dogs from neglect, abuse, and euthanasia. We provide temporary safe foster homes and medical/emergency treatment to prepare these loving animals for their forever home. (This means we do not have a physical shelter location, and all of our dogs are in loving foster homes throughout the city.) Following a thorough â but hassle free â adoption process, we connect our dogs with loving, responsible, and committed permanent homes. Every dog is fully vetted and altered, micro-chipped, and vaccinated prior to finalization of adoption.Our commitment to our dogs goes beyond the adoption process, as we stress the importance of responsible pet ownership, and we educate our fosters, adopters, and community on what they can do to help dogs in need.
Step One
Complete and submit an adoption application and non-refundable $10 Application Fee. Since all of our dogs are in foster homes, we set up meet and greets only once there is an approved application on file.

About Caillou

WAIVED ADOPTION FEE for this 2 Year Old Medium Pup with a BIG Personality: Meet Caillou, an exceptional 2 year old mixed-breed pup with energy for days and all the charm to sweep you off your feet. He is searching for an active, patient home who is eager to continue his training and has a sense of humor. Caillou is: Fully house trained Loves his crate + sleeps through the night Super smart and sensitive - we’re pretty sure he can read your mind! Incredibly athletic - no hike is to too steep or too long for this guy When it comes to new environments, Caillou can be anxious and it can take him time to settle, but when he finally does, it’s very endearing to watch his silly and fun personality emerge. Caillou loves running around and playing with other dogs outside, but cannot live in a home with other dogs or cats. We know that there’s a family or human out there experienced with smart, high-energy pups like Caillou and who can give him the structure, routine, and love he needs to succeed. You’ll be rewarded with all his love, kisses, and quirks in return. Caillou has been in foster care since he was just a puppy. Although he is currently fostered in the city, he would thrive in a suburban or rural environment with room to run. Caillou’s foster generously did a DNA test for him -- we learned he is a Pit x Russell Terrier Mutt with a sprinkling of German Shepherd, French Bulldog, Basset Hound, and Cocker Spaniel! What a combo! Apply to adopt Caillou at rescuecity.nyc/adopt or email inquiries@rescuecity.nyc with any questions. His adoption fee is waived in hopes of expanding his chance to find the perfect home for him!
