Buddy came here via some concerned people who saw that his living conditions were not acceptable. He was kept in a outside pen, without proper exercise or sanitation and deserved a better chance at life. He’s been with us several months now and has made amazing improvements. He is 5 yrs. old, a Rottweiler/Shepherd mix who’s been neutered since he arrived here. He’s learned to walk well with his harness and seems to keep a neat kennel. He’s a volunteer favorite; he loves to give kisses and he enjoys playing with balls out in the yards. He does not seem to like too many male dogs however, and since he had no real life before, many things are very new and strange to him. He’s not sure about car rides, but the vet tells us he was great when he was there. Given some time and lots of love we think he’s going to make a perfect addition for the right family and that he definitely deserved a second chance.
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an adoption application. This avoids the disappointment of someone else has "beating you to it" because they were pre-approved. Processing an application does not take us very long but we do insist that all potential adopters are approved before placing a dog. Applying is very simple. Just log on to our website at
Northern Chautauqua Canine Rescue and select Adopt a Dog from the menu on the left side of the homepage. Just above the photo gallery you will see Adoption Application giving you a choice of 2 formats. Select one of these and complete the information requested, then save it as a file and e mail it to us. If you do not get a response within 24 hours of sending your application, please call us at 716/326-PAWS. And be sure to check out all the dogs and puppies eagerly awaiting homes.
