Why Adopt an Amsterdog?

AmsterDog is a foster-based rescue and does not have its own facility. We rely on people like you to open their hearts & homes to pets in need. Our fosters are spread throughout the northeast, and we partner with veterinary services and professional trainers all over.

AmsterDog has animals available for adoption that were previously rescued from urgent situations and have since resided in a foster home or boarding. This means that their behaviors and personalities are well known. Their caretakers can tell you their likes, dislikes, favorite treats, special scratch spots, and more!

AmsterDog is here to help! Whether you’re only beginning your browsing for a new best friend or just not quite sure which one is for you, talk to us. Text us, call us, write us an e-mail, or message us on social media: we will match you with the best fit for you. AmsterDog is more than happy to adopt our dogs out, but we do offer a foster-to-adopt option to make sure that both you and your new pet are truly a great fit, with many memories of love and companionship awaiting you both!

AmsterDog helps animals in many locations throughout the northeast - don’t be deterred if a dog isn’t being fostered locally. We provide transportation to approved adopters within a reasonable distance.

rescued xylos joins family of fellow Acc pulls

Late Feb 2026, Xylos 244645 found himself alone and out of time, awaiting euthanasia in an over crowded city shelter. We were able to pull Xylos in time thanks to an amazing previous adopter of ours. Now, Xylos loves his new life, his new mom, and his new siblings, Gigi 138023 (2022) and Sukhia Snow 163061 (2023). Being a New Hope Partner with the Animal Care Centers of New York Ciy for so many years allows us to share an amazing rescue story such as this, but we couldn’t do it without our incredible fosters and adopters!
