Meet Hail Mary Hail Mary is a little girl with a big second chance ahead of her. She and her sister, Endzone Ellie, were in a Georgia shelter where they were at risk because there simply was not enough space. It is heartbreaking to think about two young puppies facing such an uncertain future through no fault of their own. We knew Hail Mary deserved the chance to grow up. Now she is ready to leave that scary chapter behind and start discovering what life is really supposed to be like for a puppy. Hail Mary is sweet, curious, and full of that wonderful puppy spirit that makes it impossible not to fall in love. She has so much ahead of her. New things to discover, new experiences to learn from, toys to play with, naps to take, and a family to love. We want Hail Mary to grow up knowing that she is safe and that she matters. She deserves a family who will be there for the puppy days, the growing-up days, and all the wonderful years that follow. This little girl was given a second chance. Now she just needs someone to give her a forever home. Please consider opening your heart and home to Hail Mary. Please remember that adoption bios are only a snapshot of each animal. They are meant to give you a glimpse into their personality and story, but there is so much more to learn. Please reach out to our Adoption Team for additional information about Hail Mary and to learn if she may be the right fit for your home. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
Hail Mary is sweet, curious, and full of that wonderful puppy spirit that makes it impossible not to fall in love. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
