Shasta is one of those girls who wears her sugar, spice and everything nice right in her coat! A beautiful pumpkin-spice toned girl, Shasta is a fluffy beauty with looks that stop people in their tracks. She’s a young pup, who is very sweet to humans and great with other dogs. NGPR rescued Shasta from a backyard breeder and now she's on the search for her forever pyrents, or a loving foster to hold her over until her special adoption day! A wonderful home for Shasta will include a loving pyrent or two, lots of snuggles and belly rubs, long walks for sniffing out new smells, and maybe even a midday nap near her favorite human. If you're interested in adding Shasta to your family or helping her along the path to her forever home, submit an application to foster or adopt today!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.

We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.

If you can't foster or adopt at this time, please consider helping our Neediest Cases or making a tax-exempt donation by visiting our Donate page.
