PLEASE HELP US SAVE THIS PUPPY’S LEG!!!! PLEASE DONATE via Venmo to @Social-TeesNYC, at socialteesnyc.org/donate/ (live link in our insta profile), or via Paypal to contact@socialteesnyc.org. We posted Wentz a week ago — at the time, we were trying to find a foster home so we could take him in from someone who’d brought him up from Texas. We knew he’d been hit by a car, his bones were puncturing his skin, and he’d had surgery over the border in Mexico to repair the damage. We also knew there was a high chance he’d need significant additional veterinary care when he got here, but we didn’t know how grave the situation would be — Wentz’s surgery was essentially a complete joke, and he’s now at risk of losing his leg. Our vet just saw him and confirmed that the limb is not healing and barely useable. It’s smaller than his other legs, has almost no muscle tone, and seems to hang from the socket. He’ll put weight on it for a second when he’s walking but quickly lifts and swings it or sits down. The skin on his hips that was punctured by the bone and supposedly sewn shut has been closed improperly with staples, treated with the wrong antiseptic, and is badly infected. PLEASE HELP!!! Wentz will need surgery by a board certified surgeon that will cost around $10k to try to save his leg, and we need to give this puppy a chance. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP US! Any amount you can put toward his care will help us get closer to getting Wentz the treatment and healing he deserves. We are so grateful for your kindness and compassion.

For Boston fans (terrier, not city), Jemna is a slam dunk. You don't have to worship the breed though to recognize it. Cheerful, good natured, confident in the city, playful but not bouncing off the walls, a delight with other dogs, generous with affection. She's been fine on her own so far when her foster mom goes out — no tantrums that enrage the neighbors or leave your prized possessions in tatters. This 27 pound 3-year-old is an easy decision. If, that is, you're prepared for and set on welcoming in a new family member, and if you can handle a little housebreaking work (she's almost there but not 100 percent) and potential medical issues down the road that tend to arise in her kind. Bostons, as many of you probably know, are prone to stuff like skin issues, food allergies, and GI challenges. Jemna's foster mom says: "She is a total cuddle bug and loves getting her big head pet all day, but she is also happy to make a little nest out of blankets and pillows and take a nap while I’m busy/out. She is great with other dogs, every dog she meets gets her stubby little tail wagging like crazy. She also charms every person we cross and will never turn down any attention. She likes to play with toys, she does a cute little happy dance before meals, and we’re working on her potty training." Interested in adopting?

What this runt lacks in size she makes up for in ferocity. She’s about as hefty as a head of cauliflower, but she’ll boldly battle any dog brave enough to take her on. Holds her own against animals literally 12 times as big. Unreal. Jollie is 13 weeks old and, though the most petite of her litter, the only one not yet adopted. Let’s go with we’ve been saving the best for last. Not necessarily inaccurate — this heeler mix is gold. Smart, intuitive, fast learning, affectionate, social… probably only 35 lbs grown. She’ll need an experienced family and — don't take this lightly — TONS of exercise and training as she grows. The requirement is written on her DNA in fine print. Her foster mom says: “Jollie is seriously the sweetest puppy in the world! She loves to cuddle and be carried around. She also has spurts of high energy and teething where she runs around and tries to chew on everything including us. We have been working on redirecting her chewing to appropriate toys and she is doing really well with that! She has two large foster siblings (a lab and a samoyed) who she loves and tries to play with as much as they’ll let her. She is working on potty training and is great about going outside when we bring her outside but is still having some accidents in the house. She would thrive in an active home that will give her plenty of attention and exercise!” Interested in adopting?

URGENT!! THIS QUIET GIRL NEEDS A FOSTER HOME IN THE SUBURBS ASAP!!! Another puppy from the rural south terrified of NYC. It’s not hard to understand why. Tahini has gone from a home where she couldn’t even trust her own shadow, but where the man made sounds were few and far between, to nonstop movement and sound. This 5-month-old is trusting though and trying very hard to be brave. She’s housebroken, very gentle, loves to cuddle, is good with other dogs, and learns fast. Indoors she’s chill and independent and likes to give you a lick here and there, but outdoors she’s a wreck, and the city is really wearing her down. She needs an experienced home in the suburbs, and the company of another confident pup would probably help her see how safe and exciting her future can be. PLEASE HELP!!! Pickup is ASAP in the East Village, fostering lasts 2 to 4 weeks. If you can give her a temporary home, please submit the foster app at socialteesnyc.org and email foster@socialteesnyc.org NOW!!! #adoptdontshop #fosterme #spots #pointer #rescuedog #dogsofinstagram #animalrescue #blackdog #tahini #socialtees #socialteesnyc #straypride
Ducky is everything we love about Chihuahuas — loyal, adorably small, gutsy at times, shaky at others. This 8-year-old armful is dreamy. He’s chill and wants to lie around and nap most of the day away. Could be partly because he’s got a hefty set of love handles dragging him down, but we strongly suspect he’s just not the kind of dog that demands a whole ton of activity. He does need a little more than he’s been getting though — he’s around 8 lbs, but his weary little frame is eager to shed a pound or two. Ironically, he’s at his spunkiest when treats or meals come out. Not an enthusiastic walker unless he’s following you and whatever edible you’re carrying. Ducky is okay coexisting with other very mellow dogs, but he's not into dogs that get in his face or want to play. He LOVES being stroked and scratched and lying in the sun though, and he’s a great passenger on car rides. He’ll make an amazing companion for a low key, quiet person or grownups only family ready to help him age gracefully. His foster dad says: “Ducky is an incredibly gentle and quiet pup who loves affection and taking naps. A bit timid at first but quick to open up after a few hours of being around you. Appreciates his treats, doesn't play too much and instead prefers to be relaxing, and takes some time getting used to going on walks but once he feels comfortable he is a great walking companion.” Interested in adopting?

URGENT!! THIS GIRL NEEDS A HOUND LOVING FOSTER HOME ASAP!!! Praline is 7 months old, 40 lbs, and blessed with brains to spare — energy, too. She’s a Barry's Bootcamp, ten mile hikes, rising with the sun kind of girl. For fans of active breed dogs that love learning and running, she’s a fantasy on four legs. Charming, friendly, great with other dogs, confident, curious, and craves the opportunity to do a good job at whatever task you have the patience to teach her. She'd rock at agility courses. To our surprise and delight, she's doing wonderfully in the city. She’s crate trained and mostly housebroken, and she’s very affectionate. Needs a few hours a day of exercise plus a healthy dose of mental stimulation. PLEASE HELP!!! Pickup is ASAP in Chelsea, fostering lasts 2 to 4 weeks. If you can give her a temporary home, please submit the foster app at socialteesnyc.org and email foster@socialteesnyc.org NOW!!! #adoptdontshop #fosterme #hound #shiba #rescuedog #dogsofinstagram #animalrescue #coonhound #coonhoundsofinstagram #hounddog #houndsofinstagram #socialtees #socialteesnyc #straypride
URGENT!! THIS PUPPY NEEDS A FOSTER WHO CAN HELP HIS BROKEN LEG HEAL ASAP!!! We are trying to take this baby in, but we can’t unless we find someone willing and qualified to care for a pup that needs mostly bed/cage rest and occasional vet visits. Wentz is about 5 months old, only 12 lbs, and he was hit by a car and left at the doorstep of a rescuer in Texas. His broken bones had punctured the skin, but he hobbled around determined to survive. A mutual friend helped arrange for him to have surgery just over the Mexican border to repair his leg, and he was transported up to NYC a few days ago. He is now stuck in limbo in her care, she’s unable to look after him much longer so we’re trying to do right by this strong spirited little guy. He’s very friendly and wants to play but cannot have much physical activity while he heals for the next month. He’s great with other animals but needs a pup free home, otherwise he’ll be too tempted to try to wrestle — he doesn’t understand he needs to recover. PLEASE HELP!!! Pickup is ASAP this weekend in the East Village, fostering lasts 4 to 6 weeks. If you can give him a temporary home, please submit the foster app at socialteesnyc.org and email foster@socialteesnyc.org NOW!!! #adoptdontshop #fosterme #puppy #terrier #rescuedog #dogsofinstagram #animalrescue #puppies #socialtees #socialteesnyc #straypride
Not to scare you or anything, but her teeth are like barbed wire blades tightly packed together inside the most adorably unsuspecting little face. We did suspect it, actually, because puppies this age can do a lot of accidental damage with their tiny mouths, but we were still startled by the sharpness when Cabarette went for the treat and got finger instead. This is not to say she’s a horror genre style monster or anything, it’s to place these facts conspicuously before you find yourself adrift in a sea of speckles, numbed by her entrancing head tilt and attentive whiskers. This 11-week-old hound/heeler is an incredibly smart, friendly, and spunky little girl, but she’s not a good match for a home with children. Or adults who aren’t prepared to manage and train through some for real teething. Other things you’ll need to be prepared for: enormous brain that needs lots of stimulation, learning, and challenges; about 50 lbs (full grown) of high drive energy that will require 90 min a day AT LEAST of fast paced exercise; a packed social calendar — for both of you. She’ll need plenty of time with other dogs so she can play out her zoomies and learn how to interact properly, and you’ll be chatted up everywhere you’re seen together by adoring fans and fellow pup parents. Her foster mom says: “Cabarette is a great little pup. She’s super tiny but has tons of energy and love to give. She’s getting pretty good at the puppy pad, and we’ve been working on training to go poop outside, which is going well. She sleeps a ton, which is amazing. Just an overall loving and playful pup.” Interested in adopting?

URGENT!! THIS BOY NEEDS A FOSTER HOME IN THE SUBURBS ASAP!!! Woody is 3 years old, only 17 lbs, and yet another pup tortured by city living. The sights, sounds, commotion… far too much stimulation for this gentle, sensitive Shiba Inu/terrier mix, and he’s constantly on edge. He’s scared and stressed outside, which makes it hard for him to interact with other dogs on leash — he gets worked up fast and barks like a wee monster. Indoors, he’s a playful, housebroken, respectful, affectionate love muffin though. His current foster mom is bummed to see him go, but he’s just so miserable here she knows he needs a quieter environment. She says: “Woody is the sweetest little cuddle bug with so much love to give. He is the perfect work from home companion — he will curl up by your feet and sleep, occasionally checking up on you by peeking over the table or putting his head on your lap for some long overdue pats. But once you hit the couch, he'll come bounding over and snuggle right into your arms for cuddles and belly rubs. I'd say being in your lap and arms is probably his favorite place in the apartment. If you're laying down, he likes to put his head on your chest or shoulder and give you the occasional lick on the chin. He loves checking himself out in front of the mirror and can spend minutes just staring. Sometimes he barks at his reflection, but who doesn't have bad hair days? He doesn't chew things up when he's left alone. He was housebroken in just the first few days and he is now learning basic commands! Woody is very food motivated and while he won't whine to beg for your food, he'll be right by your feet to see if anything drops. He's a total people person. Everyone who meets and interacts with him fall in love immediately because of all the affection he gives.” PLEASE HELP!!! Pickup is ASAP in the East Village, fostering lasts 2 to 4 weeks. If you can give him a temporary home, please submit the foster app at socialteesnyc.org and email foster@socialteesnyc.org NOW!!! #adoptdontshop #fosterme #shibainu #shiba #rescuedog #dogsofinstagram #animalrescue #terrier #socialtees #socialteesnyc #straypride
His ass is silver and fluffy. The rest of him looks almost total black lab, but, like many back ends do, his leaves you wondering. Shepherd, perhaps? As though it matters. He’s a grade A piece of dog — mind as well as body. Kit is 18 months old, about 76 lbs, and immeasurably amiable. He’s as sweet with other dogs as he is with every single human he meets. He’s pretty low key indoors, and he’s housebroken. Doesn’t shred your life when you go out and leave him unattended. He needs solid exercise, like 90 minutes a day, and he could use some basic manners and leash training because he pulls a bit and sometimes jumps to say hello. In the grand scheme of things, not very big challenges to overcome though. He’s doing alright in the city but does seem more on edge than he needs to be, so he’d probably be happiest in a truly quiet hood or, even better, in the burbs. His foster dad says: "KIT IS SO CHILL. No activity seems to faze him, even when it's stuff he doesn't wanna do — like car rides or baths — because he trusts you. He thinks he's a lap dog, so be prepared for some 70 plus lb hugs. He wants to meet every dog and can come in a little hot on his approach, but he's just sweet and eager. At home he wants to sit next to you and snuggle up. Eager for attention, sometimes to a fault but always deserves it. If you listen closely when an ambulance goes by, he likes to howl along with the sirens." Interested in adopting?

Do blondes really have more fun? We’re open to opinions, but ours is a resounding are you serious right now, is this even a question. Take Caladesi’s litter, for example. (Also take into consideration people who have literally any other hair color.) Hue-wise, they all look totally different, and each puppy is a more vivacious bon vivant than the next. We haven’t ranked them in order of conviviality yet, but we’d guess this tiny towhead falls somewhere in the middle. Caladesi likes to have a good time and knows how to challenge you to keep up. This 11-week-old hound mix (we think there’s a hearty serving of heeler in there) is adventurous, bold, confident, and engaging. She makes friends fast and is always on the lookout for the next pup or person to add to her social circle. She’s clever and quick moving — read that as she’ll need a lot of exercise, training, and mental stimulation. She’ll also need an experienced grownups only home. She’s just entered her mouthy play phase, and her needle sharp teeth are really something to contend with. Guessing she’ll be 50-55 lbs full grown and a complete knockout. Her foster mom says: “Caladesi has been super sweet and playful. She loves to be close to people but can manage alone without too much fuss better and better as time passes. She will definitely need someone who is up for solid play and can keep her on track for potty and obedience. She hits the wee pad most of the time. She can follow a sit command but gets a little distracted, as a puppy can. She only really barks when she wants attention, but I'm working on it with her. With the right consistent training she will no doubt be an awesome companion for someone." Interested in adopting?

You know how in real life a lot of celebrities are, to be generous, half the size they look on screen? That’s Destiny. Our little (literally) starlet. She’s so much smaller than she appears in photos. A pleasantly petite, tightly packed, low to the ground 32 lbs. And, also like a lot of celebrities, she’s charismatic in an understated way. You want to watch her, you’re easily absorbed by her huge, upwardly gazing eyes. You admire her bravery, are inspired by the challenges she’s overcome, are in awe of her ability to both lose and become herself each time she has to adjust to a new role, a new phase. This 1-year-old pit mix is award winning material. Smart, sweet, affectionate, playful, good with other dogs, housebroken, respectful. Energetic, so plenty of exercise is a must. Loves to roll in nature (swipe), is the cutest napper ever (keep swiping). The only catch is she needs a home in the burbs because the city is too scary for her, and she’s frightened by men at first so needs a slow approach and an experienced family. Her loyalty and kindness make up for her skittishness in spades though. Her foster mom says: "Destiny is the sweetest pup you can imagine. She is a super cuddler, expert snuggler, and has a heart of gold. Though seemingly shy at first, she's actually a social butterfly and loves people and dogs. When going out for walks, she likes to greet passing strangers, especially if they have dogs. As a new arrival from TN, she's not loving the New York City streets. It's been so awesome to see her confidence grow so quickly in the short amount of time I've had her though. She enjoys walks in the park the most and prefers to do her bathroom business there where she has plenty of grass under her feet. Anyone who meets her falls in love with her instantly. She is a total charmer! Her forever home will be so lucky, and 1000% richer, to have her in it.” Interested in adopting?

Or adults who aren’t prepared to manage and train through some for real teething. Other things you’ll need to be prepared for: enormous brain that needs lots of stimulation, learning, and challenges; about 50 lbs (full grown) of high drive energy that will require 90 min a day AT LEAST of fast paced exercise; a packed social calendar — for both of you. She’ll need plenty of time with other dogs so she can play out her zoomies and learn how to interact properly, and you’ll be chatted up everywhere you’re seen together by adoring fans and fellow pup parents. Her foster mom says: “Cabarette is a great little pup. She’s super tiny but has tons of energy and love to give. She’s getting pretty good at the puppy pad, and we’ve been working on training to go poop outside, which is going well. She sleeps a ton, which is amazing. Just an overall loving and playful pup.” Interested in adopting?

URGENT!! THIS BOY NEEDS A FOSTER HOME IN THE SUBURBS ASAP!!! Woody is 3 years old, only 17 lbs, and yet another pup tortured by city living. The sights, sounds, commotion… far too much stimulation for this gentle, sensitive Shiba Inu/terrier mix, and he’s constantly on edge. He’s scared and stressed outside, which makes it hard for him to interact with other dogs on leash — he gets worked up fast and barks like a wee monster. Indoors, he’s a playful, housebroken, respectful, affectionate love muffin though. His current foster mom is bummed to see him go, but he’s just so miserable here she knows he needs a quieter environment. She says: “Woody is the sweetest little cuddle bug with so much love to give. He is the perfect work from home companion — he will curl up by your feet and sleep, occasionally checking up on you by peeking over the table or putting his head on your lap for some long overdue pats. But once you hit the couch, he'll come bounding over and snuggle right into your arms for cuddles and belly rubs. I'd say being in your lap and arms is probably his favorite place in the apartment. If you're laying down, he likes to put his head on your chest or shoulder and give you the occasional lick on the chin. He loves checking himself out in front of the mirror and can spend minutes just staring. Sometimes he barks at his reflection, but who doesn't have bad hair days? He doesn't chew things up when he's left alone. He was housebroken in just the first few days and he is now learning basic commands! Woody is very food motivated and while he won't whine to beg for your food, he'll be right by your feet to see if anything drops. He's a total people person. Everyone who meets and interacts with him fall in love immediately because of all the affection he gives.” PLEASE HELP!!! Pickup is ASAP in the East Village, fostering lasts 2 to 4 weeks. If you can give him a temporary home, please submit the foster app at socialteesnyc.org and email foster@socialteesnyc.org NOW!!! #adoptdontshop #fosterme #shibainu #shiba #rescuedog #dogsofinstagram #animalrescue #terrier #socialtees #socialteesnyc #straypride

His ass is silver and fluffy. The rest of him looks almost total black lab, but, like many back ends do, his leaves you wondering. Shepherd, perhaps? As though it matters. He’s a grade A piece of dog — mind as well as body. Kit is 18 months old, about 76 lbs, and immeasurably amiable. He’s as sweet with other dogs as he is with every single human he meets. He’s pretty low key indoors, and he’s housebroken. Doesn’t shred your life when you go out and leave him unattended. He needs solid exercise, like 90 minutes a day, and he could use some basic manners and leash training because he pulls a bit and sometimes jumps to say hello. In the grand scheme of things, not very big challenges to overcome though. He’s doing alright in the city but does seem more on edge than he needs to be, so he’d probably be happiest in a truly quiet hood or, even better, in the burbs. His foster dad says: "KIT IS SO CHILL. No activity seems to faze him, even when it's stuff he doesn't wanna do — like car rides or baths — because he trusts you. He thinks he's a lap dog, so be prepared for some 70 plus lb hugs. He wants to meet every dog and can come in a little hot on his approach, but he's just sweet and eager. At home he wants to sit next to you and snuggle up. Eager for attention, sometimes to a fault but always deserves it. If you listen closely when an ambulance goes by, he likes to howl along with the sirens." Interested in adopting?

Do blondes really have more fun? We’re open to opinions, but ours is a resounding are you serious right now, is this even a question. Take Caladesi’s litter, for example. (Also take into consideration people who have literally any other hair color.) Hue-wise, they all look totally different, and each puppy is a more vivacious bon vivant than the next. We haven’t ranked them in order of conviviality yet, but we’d guess this tiny towhead falls somewhere in the middle. Caladesi likes to have a good time and knows how to challenge you to keep up. This 11-week-old hound mix (we think there’s a hearty serving of heeler in there) is adventurous, bold, confident, and engaging. She makes friends fast and is always on the lookout for the next pup or person to add to her social circle. She’s clever and quick moving — read that as she’ll need a lot of exercise, training, and mental stimulation. She’ll also need an experienced grownups only home. She’s just entered her mouthy play phase, and her needle sharp teeth are really something to contend with. Guessing she’ll be 50-55 lbs full grown and a complete knockout. Her foster mom says: “Caladesi has been super sweet and playful. She loves to be close to people but can manage alone without too much fuss better and better as time passes. She will definitely need someone who is up for solid play and can keep her on track for potty and obedience. She hits the wee pad most of the time. She can follow a sit command but gets a little distracted, as a puppy can. She only really barks when she wants attention, but I'm working on it with her. With the right consistent training she will no doubt be an awesome companion for someone." Interested in adopting?

You know how in real life a lot of celebrities are, to be generous, half the size they look on screen? That’s Destiny. Our little (literally) starlet. She’s so much smaller than she appears in photos. A pleasantly petite, tightly packed, low to the ground 32 lbs. And, also like a lot of celebrities, she’s charismatic in an understated way. You want to watch her, you’re easily absorbed by her huge, upwardly gazing eyes. You admire her bravery, are inspired by the challenges she’s overcome, are in awe of her ability to both lose and become herself each time she has to adjust to a new role, a new phase. This 1-year-old pit mix is award winning material. Smart, sweet, affectionate, playful, good with other dogs, housebroken, respectful. Energetic, so plenty of exercise is a must. Loves to roll in nature (swipe), is the cutest napper ever (keep swiping). The only catch is she needs a home in the burbs because the city is too scary for her, and she’s frightened by men at first so needs a slow approach and an experienced family. Her loyalty and kindness make up for her skittishness in spades though. Her foster mom says: "Destiny is the sweetest pup you can imagine. She is a super cuddler, expert snuggler, and has a heart of gold. Though seemingly shy at first, she's actually a social butterfly and loves people and dogs. When going out for walks, she likes to greet passing strangers, especially if they have dogs. As a new arrival from TN, she's not loving the New York City streets. It's been so awesome to see her confidence grow so quickly in the short amount of time I've had her though. She enjoys walks in the park the most and prefers to do her bathroom business there where she has plenty of grass under her feet. Anyone who meets her falls in love with her instantly. She is a total charmer! Her forever home will be so lucky, and 1000% richer, to have her in it.” Interested in adopting?
