Adopt a Terrier in New York

Terrier mixes vary widely but tend to share the bold, energetic, tenacious temperament the group is known for. Many are pulled from Southern shelters where small mixed terriers are abundant. A rescued terrier mix is typically scrappy, smart, and deeply loyal.

New York has a dedicated rescue dog community, with major organizations in New York City and throughout the state. Many NYC-area rescues transport dogs from overcrowded Southern shelters, giving adopters access to a wide variety of breeds.
