Do you have room on your couch for a big lovebug? Pretzel is a canine companion in New York City who is ready to find her dream home. She is a gentle giant who doesn’t ask for much. With just a cozy spot for naps and lots of love from their people, she’ll be a happy pup!

This sweet girl has all the warmth and softness you’d want from a big pretzel! She adores getting lots of snuggles and pets from her people, and she would happily spend all day by your side. If you let her, she will happily take up residence as your own personal couch potato. She also enjoys staying active by playing with her toys and going for a nice walk — she has great leash manners, too! Pretzel is a super dog who is eager to find a super family of her own. If that might be you, visit her profile to learn more!

If you don’t live near the tri-state area, but are considering adopting a new furry friend, you can always check out your local shelter. You can also visit our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC or the Los Angeles County’s Animal Care Centers.

If you’re not ready for adoption, you can still make a wonderful difference for animals in need as a foster caregiver! Large dogs like these two can thrive when they get to spend time out of a shelter environment and in a loving home instead. You can foster for the ASPCA in Columbus, Ohio, New York City, Los Angeles (cat fosters only) and Weaverville, North Carolina. You may also be able to sign up to foster with your local shelter!
