She might be just the piece your family’s been missing. Marshmello is currently in a foster home. Please email adoptionspawscrossedny if you'd like to meet her! A note from Marshmello's foster: Walking: This gal LOVES her walks! She really likes to be outdoors frequently and for long walks. She sniffs and sniffs and is taking in all of the new smells and surroundings. She is walked with the easy walker harness and that is working very well. At this point she is walking with her doggie foster sister Zoe on all of her walks since Zoe is a good influence of her in terms of how to behave when people and other dogs are walking by and she's helping to build her confidence and teach her to become less reactive to strangers. We are currently working on house training and leash manners with passersby! She has her favorite safe space on the couch. She is more comfortable with us and still has opening up to do, but she's coming a long way! While she doesn't actively play with her foster sister Zoe (dog) or the kids in her foster home, she enjoys being in their company and napping with Zoe or chewing a bone while Zoe plays. She's great with the kids in terms of giving kisses and sharing a space! Being patient and giving her space and picking up her ques of what kind of contact she is ready for helps her to feel heard and helps tremendously with gaining her trust. Sometimes, it could be just sitting next to her and putting my hand out so she can sniff and then touching her so it doesn’t feel so much out of her comfort zone. She is getting more comfortable with touch! Enrichments like freezing peanut butter in a bone and toys make her happy too! Marshmallow is a sweet baby who is stepping forward into herself and becoming who she really is little by little The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets!

Please understand that we cannot hold pets for any reason. All adoptions are done on a first come, first adopt basis for pre-approved applicants. The Shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.
