About Lola

Lola is hard to miss with her big floppy ears and goofy, happy personality. She's very friendly and loves being around people. She does well with both dogs and cats and would make an easy, fun addition to many different kinds of homes. Lola is a great companion who's just as happy joining you on adventures as she is hanging out by your side. If this animal is located at our Manhattan Adoption Center, head in to meet them and see if you are a match! We are a same-day adoption center, and an application does not put you on a list or hold an animal for you. If they are in Wantagh or in a foster home, please submit an online application and our team will reach out to further discuss the adoption process. Prior to adoption, all of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and given their age-appropriate vaccines.

About Mixed Breed Dogs

Mixed breed dogs are wonderfully unique companions, each one a one-of-a-kind blend of traits, personalities, and appearances. The genetic diversity of mixed breeds often leads to fewer inherited health problems and greater overall vigor. They come in every size, shape, and temperament imaginable.

Adopting a mixed breed means giving a home to a dog who truly needs one - they make up the majority of shelter dogs waiting for families. You'll gain a resilient, adaptable companion with a unique personality all their own. Mixed breeds prove every day that love isn't defined by a pedigree.

Adopting in New York, NY

New York City is one of the best places in the country to adopt a pet. With hundreds of shelters and rescue organizations across all five boroughs, you can find dogs, cats, and other companions waiting for a forever home.

From Central Park strolls to neighborhood dog runs, NYC offers endless ways to bond with your new best friend. Adopt, don't shop, and give a shelter pet the city life they deserve.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

NYC winters bring snow, ice, and salted sidewalks that can irritate paw pads. Use booties or paw wax before walks, and wipe paws when you get home. Wind chill between buildings can be intense, so keep outings shorter for small or thin-coated breeds.

Spring

42°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Spring is one of the best times to explore Central Park, Prospect Park, and the city’s many dog runs as temperatures warm up. Watch for puddles and mud in off-leash areas after rain. Allergy season can affect pets too, so monitor for excessive scratching or sneezing.

Summer

68°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

High humidity and hot pavement are the biggest summer hazards for NYC pets. Walk early morning or after sunset, and always carry water. The city’s concrete retains heat, so test the sidewalk with your hand before heading out.
