My story

 ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home.  In some cases, we can help transport.  Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions  follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:)     We are excited to introduce our newest addition, 1-year-old 55-pound Helios, a tripod dog from Albania, who will be arriving in November. This lovable good boy is potty trained and excels at going outside. Despite his physical limitation, Helios possesses boundless energy. His past has been marked by adversity, having been found with a severely damaged back leg, likely sustained in a car accident. However, thanks to timely surgery and abundant love, Helios has overcome his challenges and is now thriving, strong, happy, and full of life. Helios's indomitable spirit shines through as he runs, plays, and revels in life. He's playful, gentle, and resilient, with a heart full of love. Whether chasing a ball or snuggling, Helios makes a wonderful companion. He interacts well with other dogs, loves humans of all ages, and is calm, cuddly, and well-behaved. Helios is searching for a family who will look beyond his physical limitations and appreciate his extraordinary spirit. He epitomizes the idea that strength, spirit, and kindness can manifest in diverse ways.                If you want to know about cats/dogs specifically being shown at our adoption locations, please email us info@zanisfurryfriends.org closer to the date so we know your interest and will make every effort to have that pet at the event or let you know how and where you can meet.  It is extemely helpful and speeds up adoption if the application is filled out prior to visiting us so please do that before coming to our weekend events. Our weekend locations are: Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent  Follow us on FB, Zani's Furry Friends ZFF, for latest updates. Usually we are in our foster homes so all this is a bit more stressful but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer. And you can always donate:) Cats and Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD w/ all age appropriate shots and microchipped. Cats are feline combo tested for FIV/FeLV; dogs are heartworm tested and rabies vax'd, (NOT lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it); rabbits are spayed/neutered. Please fill out an application and email to: For Cats: cats@zanisfurryfriends.org For Dogs: dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org For Rabbits: nyc.acc.rabbits@gmail.com. Please visit our website zanisfurryfriends.org.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tripod Helios, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
