If you’re a dog person (like me), then you must love running into dogs around your neighborhood. Perhaps it’s the fluffy Pomeranian you see in the elevator every morning. Or, the friendly Golden Retriever that sits next to you on the subway. One thing’s for sure, the Upper West Side has the cutest dogs out there! So we wanted to show them off and let you know where you can usually find them. Here are some of the cutest dogs on the Upper West Side!
Cutest Dogs on the Upper West Side
This tiny cream-colored Havallon is Kiki. You can spot Kiki strolling around UWS streets, as she lives on Amsterdam Avenue between 95th and 96th Streets with her family. She’s pretty tiny and a little shy, but secretly loves selfies.
Breed: Havallon (Havanese and Papillon mix)
Birthday: April 30, 2017
Age: 5 years old
Favorite hangout spot: at home with her fluffy pillows (perfect for napping)
Favorite treat: loves raw, organic treats (Duck or Chicken) by Stella and Chewies
Sparky is a dapper little dog. He has a gorgeous silky long-haired coat, so it’s fitting that his Instagram handle is @50shadesofsilky.
Breed: Australian Silky Terrier
Favorite treat: chewing sticks (or anything that comes with BarkBox)
Fun fact: Sparky is fluent in English, Spanish and Russian!
Meet Archie. He’s a classic black Shih Tzu with a whole lot of character. He’s got the cutest, tiniest little tongue that pokes out.
Breed: Shih Tzu
Birthday: November 5, 2015
Age: 2 years old
Favorite park on the UWS: Central Park
Favorite treat: Puppachinos from Starbucks
She may have short legs, but Nala is not short on smiles. She loves dressing up in cute jackets and accessories. When she’s not out and about travelling with her mom, you can find Nala cozied up taking a nap in her apartment.

Age: 2 and a half years old
Favorite park on the UWS: off leash at Central Park (in the morning)

Patches enjoys running and could spend endless hours running and playing fetch with his family. Patches also loves attention. This little guy will curl up like a doughnut for a good butt scratch, and when he’s ready he will flop on his back for a belly rub too!
Breed: Miniature Australian Shepherd
Birthday: May 23, 2016
Age: 1 year and 5 months old
Favorite park on the UWS: Central Park (but, for dog runs Patches loves the 72nd St Dog Run)

Frankles
Frank is a tough New Yorker. He lost his tail in a car accident, but this only made him quirkier. Frank loves hanging with his fellow Doxie buddies on the UWS! He also loves playing with his baby sister Summer (and eating her snacks). Frank’s family relies on his very loud bark for protection.
Breed: Dachshund
Birthday: September 11th, 2014
Age: 3 years old
Favorite park on the UWS: Riverside Park
Favorite treat: Just about anything, but he is partial to his little sister’s food.
