Sadie, Sato mix (5 y/o), Pacific & Smith St., Brooklyn, NY • “She’s from Safe and Sound Satos – we fostered about 15 dogs with them over the course of the pandemic. I love dogs, so I kind of just picked it up as my pandemic hobby. We joke and say she has Resting Sad Face.”

Lemon, mix, Pacific & Smith St., Brooklyn, NY • “She’s named after Liz Lemon. We saw a picture of her, and I was like, we have to go meet her. I brought the ashes of my dog who had passed with me for support. When I saw her, I knew that she was ours.” A rescue via Waldosrescue

Moe, Labradoodle (7 y/o), Centre & Hamilton Ave., Brooklyn, NY • “He’s from a shelter in New Jersey. It was a backyard breeder who didn’t want puppies anymore, so the shelter took them in at 12 days old. We have three daughters, so he’s our son.” A rescue via NewLifeAnimalRescue

ADOPTABLE: Willie Nelson, mix (1 y/o), Central Park, New York, NY • “He came up from Selma, Alabama. He loves a good long walk, a toy, a chew, and a cuddle. He’s just a good sweet boy. He loves other dogs.” Willie Nelson is available for adoption now via @badassanimalrescue!

Aspen, Husky mix (4 y/o), Central Park, New York, NY • “She’s a rescue – they told us her mom was a full Husky, and we don’t know what the other half is. We looked into Berger Picards, and she looks a lot like those.”

Blue, Australian Shepherd (6 y/o), Central Park, New York, NY • “When our son was younger, he couldn’t run across the lawn without Blue knocking him over. He was herding him, like, you can’t go away from your family. Animals soak up all the crazy, and then it just vanishes.”

Salem, mix (4 y/o), Central Park, New York, NY • “She’s my daughter’s. If you could just see her run, she’s as fast as the wind, almost like a kangaroo. She’s jonesing for a squirrel. Our family has always adopted shelter dogs; they’re just so loyal.” A rescue via Paw Works

Khaleesi, French Bulldog (4 y/o), 83rd & Amsterdam Ave., New York, NY • “My mom made a soup once — I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, everything was normal. After 10 minutes, she threw up the whole pieces of vegetables. She ate it so fast, she didn’t even chew.”

Ramona & Heidi, mixes (4 y/o & 5 m/o), Brooklyn, NY • “I picked Ramona up in Philly. She’s a ham; she’ll do anything for a treat. We don’t know Heidi’s breed - I’m her walker, and her owner said she doesn’t care what her breed is. She was rescued from North Shore Animal League America

ADOPTABLE via Hearts & Bones Rescue: Asher Hong, mix, Conover & Beard St., Brooklyn, NY • “He’s so sweet and goofy. The ideal home for him would be somewhere that has space. He loves long walks. He’s good with kids, and great with other dogs.” Asher is adoptable now via Hearts & Bones Rescue!

Artoush, Golden Retriever mix (10 y/o), Van Brunt & Verona St., Brooklyn, NY • “He was born in America, but he speaks Polish. He’s a big sleeper. When nine o’clock comes, he goes on the stairs, and looks down at us like, come on! He’s a happy doggy. He loves everyone.”

Guy, Standard Poodle (4 y/o), Strong Rope Brewery, Brooklyn, NY • “It’s pronounced ‘ghee.’ We chose a Poodle because my wife is allergic. Also, people were making doodles of everything, and we were like, if they’re mixing Poodles with everything, maybe there’s a reason.”

Lucy, mix (8 y/o), Strong Rope Brewery, Brooklyn, NY • “She came up from North Carolina. She definitely had a litter at some point. Her back legs are disabled. She’s a very special girl – I honestly can’t even remember my life before I had her.” A rescue via City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue

Cosmo, Poodle mix (18 m/o), Conover & Coffey St., Brooklyn, NY • “He’s a rescue from Canada. The shoes are all locked up because we lost a few. He made an attempt at his mom’s Prada heels once – he was trying to play hide and seek with them and we were chasing him.”

Marley, Pit Bull mix (6 y/o), Barnell St., Brooklyn, NY • “She gets a stick every time we go out. I have a collection of them in front of the house. If I’m having a crappy day, and she makes somebody laugh with her stick, it makes me laugh. It’s the simple things.”

Biscuit, German Shepherd mix (3 m/o), Tompkins Square Park, New York, NY • “She’s up for adoption. We think she’s going to get adopted in the next few days to a disabled vet who just had heart surgery. She’s gonna be a great companion.”

Jasper, Samoyed (9 y/o), 7th & Ave B, New York, NY • “He’s very talkative. He’s big for his breed – he’s like eighty some pounds. He demands treats from everyone. He was a bad puppy – he ate a wall, he pulled down palm trees. But he’s calm now.”

Eva, German Shepherd (5 y/o), 7th & Ave A, New York, NY • “She hates other dogs. She’s unpredictable with people but she’s very good with people she knows. She loves the cat. She’s had a lot of obedience training. She’s good, but she’s loony.”

Mila, Goldendoodle (2.5 y/o), 2nd & 2nd Ave., New York, NY • “I’m retired, and I lost my Golden, Cosmo, two years ago. My doorman felt sorry for me. He said, you gotta get out of the house. And somebody in the building needed a dog walker, so I became the dog walker.”

Mango, Pembroke Welsh Corgi (3.5 y/o), W 4th & 10th St., New York, NY • “They said he’s 15% longer than the average Corgi. We have a dog at home named Coconut, also a Corgi. I feel like he’s kind of mango-shaped.”
