Available for adoption at North Shore Animal League America
Haus is a ten-month-old pit bull mix who was rescued from Arkansas. He would do best with older children since he is still working on his basic commands. Not only is Haus a handsome boy with his golden-brown eyes but he also has a very tender personality. He is the ideal canine for someone who likes to get outside and stretch their legs. Haus is also a wonderful cuddler and will be the best of company when it’s time to take a nap or watch a movie.
*Double Adoption* Sweet sisters Nova and Chia have arrived from Puerto Rico, and these adorable kittens are ready to face new adventures together. Does a pair of striking six-month-old mini house panthers sound irresistible to you? They’re absolutely wonderful and ready for the ultimate ride of their lives!
Rascal is an eight-year-old shepherd mix who was originally rescued from Virginia. Rascal lived in a home his whole life and came back to Animal League America recently when he lost his owner. Rascal is a very sweet boy who enjoys getting a lot of love and attention. He is still very active and enjoys playing ball in the park. A home in a quieter neighborhood with a fully fenced in yard with older children would be best for Rascal since that is what he is accustomed to.
After everything Cricket experienced to finally taste freedom in Bianca’s Furry Friends, she needed a moment to settle in from the streets of Afghanistan. Time was a wonderful tool used to replace her fears with confidence! Blinks and treats led to trust, which pulled her into playtime with visitors and staff. Animal League America promised Cricket more fun ahead in her first real home, where she’ll rule all the human hearts as the only pet.
Scrappy is a one-year-old hound terrier mix who was rescued from Louisiana. He arrived at the adoption center when he was just a small pup and has been waiting for a family to choose him as their beloved canine companion. Since Scrappy has never lived in a home, he would love an owner who has dog experience. Animal League America wants to ensure that he is given the time and patience he may need to decompress and acclimate to life in a home. If given the chance, Scrappy will show you what a fun loving and loyal companion he can be.
Despite a rocky start to life, Luca, the little eight-month-old fluff ball is making up for lost time! Locally rescued alongside his momma and sister, he joined them in needing time with vets to relieve them of their health bumps. Time with dedicated vets gave Luca the opportunity to learn about people as well. Now that we feel confident Luca has a successful plan in place for his constipation, which will be covered at cost through Animal League America’s Pet Health Centers, he’s ready to share his whole heart with a lucky family.
Aurora is a stunning 2-year-old Catahoula pit bull mix who was rescued recently from Arkansas. Aurora has a very gentle personality and would do well with children 6 years of age or older. If you currently have a canine in the home, you can arrange a meet and greet for them prior to adoption to ensure they enjoy each other’s play styles. With Aurora’s laid back and calm demeanor we believe she will be the ideal family companion for those who want to go for walks around the neighborhood and then cuddle up on the couch afterwards to watch your favorite Netflix series.
If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a fabulous feline, contact DoritS@animalleague.org. To meet your perfect pooch, email jamied@animalleague.org or visit their Port Washington campus today!
