Meet Ocean. Meet Ocean, a handsome New Yorker with a very special feature, one beautiful blue eye as blue as the ocean! Ocean was found as a stray here in New York and eventually landed at the NYC ACC. When the shelter ran out of room, we stepped in to give this sweet boy the second chance he deserved. Ocean is an energetic, happy fellow who absolutely loves his treats! He’s sweet and eager to please, but he’s also still learning and needs some guidance and direction. With patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of yummy rewards, this handsome boy is sure to thrive. Ocean has the looks, the personality, and that unforgettable ocean-blue eye. Now he just needs a loving home to show him how wonderful life can be. Could Ocean be the one who makes a splash in your heart? Want to learn more? We'd love to tell you! Our bios are just a snapshot, so please reach out to our adoption team with any questions about Ocean's personality, medical history, or ideal home. We'd be happy to help you determine if Ocean is the perfect match for your family. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.

🧠 Temperament
When the shelter ran out of room, we stepped in to give this sweet boy the second chance he deserved. 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.
