Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Gemma! This sweet, gentle, and curious 2 year old girlie recently entered foster care with Every Last One Rescue. Her previous owner was gifted Gemma by a group of neighborhood kids, but unfortunately could no longer take care of her. In the shelter, she was a playgroup star and eventually became their resident greeter dog for other dogs to be tested on dog friendliness!

In foster care, she has continued to show her friendliness and frequently greets other dogs with her signature puppy bow. She lives with another dog in foster care as well. While we're still getting to know her, she is a true "velcro dog" and loves nothing more than sitting or laying close to her people, soaking up pets on her head and back.

As a younger dog, she's curious about the world but a very gentle sniffer, eater, and will let people touch her mouth and paws. She's also great with children.

A gentle soul, check back soon for more updates as we learn more about Gemma!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
