There are two ways to adopt a dog or puppy from LAWS:
A special initiative exclusive to Albany County residents designed for the youngest of puppies who are not yet old enough to adopt. The goal is to find foster parents with a heartfelt intention of adopting the puppy they foster. Puppies with “FTF” after their names are eligible for this program.
Our adoption program is geared toward older puppies and adult dogs who are in need of a family to call their own.

Foster
Sometimes, a foster may need to move away or can no longer continue caring for a dog. In these cases, we search for a new foster or adopter for those dogs. You’ll see a “Please Foster Me!” label next to their names. These dogs are fully ready for adoption—they just need a temporary, loving home until they find their forever family.
