Possum

Possum is an 8-month-old, 63-pound Anatolian Shepherd Mix. Life with Possum is awesome! We might say it too much, but it’s true – he is a really good boy. He is house and crate trained, well-behaved, open to learning new commands, and enjoys his routine. Possum is intelligent, independent, and … loyal. He is an investigator and explorer. He loves long walks through Central Park and discovering new smells. However, he is still getting used to the city – loud noises, big vehicles, or busy spaces make him nervous and skittish. If you live a quiet life but enjoy spending time outdoors, Possum is the perfect companion and guardian for you. He just requires a large fenced-in yard or multiple walks in the park. At home, he just wants to relax and do his own thing. Possum also loves butt scratches and sleeping in spaces that are too small for him. If you’re looking for a perfect companion who is intelligent and an A+ cuddler, Possum is your man! He is currently being fostered in Manhattan, NY, on the Upper East Side and his adoption fee is $425. All of our animals come spayed or neutered, fully up to date on vaccinations, including rabies (if age appropriate) and Bordetella, are micro chipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application – an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible. We are a foster-based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week.
