Dogly Helps You & Your Shelter
Together, Dogly and Pitstop help dogs move from shelter need to supported adoption.
-
1.
Shelter need
Your support helps cover the everyday work of rescue—safe shelter, veterinary care, foster homes, and the steady resources dogs need while they wait for a family of their own.

2.
Shelter need
When a dog arrives home, adopters need useful guidance right away. Dogly turns first-day uncertainty into clear next steps for care, routines, training, and a relationship still taking shape.

Dogly helps
Long-stay dogs deserve a larger audience and a more personal introduction. Dogly helps their profiles reach people who can see beyond the kennel, understand their needs, and choose connection.

Adopters
Adopters can do more than adopt: share a dog’s story, shop a shelter need, and invite their community to keep showing up with encouragement, resources, and lasting support.

About shelter
Get to know Pitstop a little better
We are an all volunteer, foster-based group devoted to saving pit bull type dogs in the CT, NY area. Pitstop is part of Cat Assistance, NY founded in 1999. We added dogs to our mission in 2010 and have rescued numerous dogs from local overcrowded animal shelters.
We are a 501©3 tax-exempt, non-profit organization consisting of a large network of foster homes. We pull primarily from NYCACC, Mount Vernon Animal Shelter, Stamford Animal Control, Bridgeport Animal Control, and New Haven Animal Control. None of our animals are kept in a shelter. All are kept in private homes where we can fully assess any medical and/ or behavior needs and the dogs can live in comfort and happiness until they are adopted. This allows us the ability to really get to know our animals to be sure they are adopted into the perfect match.
Pitstop, in coordination with Cat Assistance, has placed more than 265 abandoned cats and dogs in loving homes in the past year. We did this all without a shelter, paid staff or government funding! That means that every dollar we raise goes to pay for veterinary care, medical supplies, food and training for our cats and dogs.
