“The dedicated dog runs and off leash hours makes having a dog much easier.
There’s also a lot more socialization with other dogs.
I have noticed that people love dogs.
In fact, I think people like dogs more than humans.
My wife and I are grateful to have a dog being a long way from home (Australia), and moving to a new city.”
“They already began to housebreak him, so the rest was easy.
We took him from the countryside to the city of Amsterdam and the was a bit of an adjustment.
He was only 12 weeks old.
He is pretty adaptable, though.
He loves NYC, particularly Central Park and the squirrels.
One of the advantages of living in NYC is the dog culture here, especially on the Upper West Side, where we live.”
““He has separation anxiety and barks whenever I leave him.
We’ve been training him to stay in his crate with the door open and giving him a kong filled with frozen yogurt or peanut butter.
It’s still a work in progress.
One of the great things about Java, is his personality.
He is a very sweet dog and plays well with others.”
“When they had a litter of three we had first pick because we were the first to put down a deposit after being approved.
Java was the only apricot and he had a white heart on his forehead, so we knew he was going to be ours.
We’ve had him since October 7th.
The best and worst thing about having Java, is that he is still a puppy.”
“We started following Korean K9 Dog Rescue’s website and saw Mabel’s photograph four months later.
I looked at her picture every day for 11 days.
I found out there was an event happening in Long Island City.
We waited on line for over an hour and a half to meet her.
I looked for her, but she wasn’t in the center, playing with the other rambunctious puppies.
She was off in a corner, curled up in a little ball.
She was already a year old and was so calm.”
“We agreed to sleep on it that night and see how we felt the next morning.
The first thing in the morning we contacted the shelter and asked if she could be ours.
We said, please don’t give her to anyone else.
We had to apply to be adoptive care givers.
We were approved by the end of the day.
I feel like Tina and I just found each other.
We were both newcomers to NYC.
She came from the Dominican Republic and I came from England.
It feels like we are taking on NYC together.”
