My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there, they call me Silly Goose, and I think that`s pretty fitting! My friends describe my greeting as `wiggles of excitement` and I have been told that my smile is one of my best features. I love to sit in laps, play with my toys (independently or with friends), and go for walks. If you ask me, I would make a pretty good new family member; you don`t mind a 52 pound dog trying to climb in your lap, right? My previous owner crate-trained me and I`m used to being home alone for about 4 hours at a time. I also lived with a kid in that home, and liked them as long as they didn`t mess with my tail and feet. Stop by the shelter during open hours if you`d like to meet me, Silly Goose! I`m dying to find my new home soon! Tuesday-Sunday 12-4:30 PM (Thursdays until 6:30 PM) adoptions@spcaonline.com (607) 257-1822 x221 (adoptions category: Purple)

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

ADOPTION AGREEMENT:

As part of the process of selecting an SPCA pet, you will be asked to complete an adoption application. After the application is approved, we ask you to sign an adoption agreement promising to humanely care for your animal. All cats and dogs are altered prior to adoption.

ANIMAL HEALTH AND VACCINATIONS:

All dogs which enter the SPCA receive vaccines for
* canine distemper (Adenovirus Type 2)
* parainfluenza & Parvovirus (DPP)
* leptospira bacterium
* Bordetella brochiseptica (kennel cough) intranasal.
All cats which enter the SPCA receive vaccines for
* Feline Rhinotracheitis (Feline Herpesvirus - I)
* Calicivirus
* Feline Distemper (Panleukopenia)
If pets are old enough, they also are given a rabies vaccination (Required by NY State law). The SPCA has regular veterinary care available for all animals and makes every effort to ensure that the animals are healthy before being made available for adoption. Cats are screened for Feline Leukemia. Dogs and cats all receive general worming medication.

DOG LICENSING:

All canines over six months of age are required, by New York State law, to be licensed before they can leave the shelter. Licensing is administered by the individual towns but can be completed at the SPCA at the time of adoption. The charges for licensing are not refundable if the dog is returned to the SPCA.

AFTER-ADOPTION SUPPORT:

We hope that your new pet will be an enjoyable addition to your household. If you have any questions about pet care, please feel free to ask the shelter staff or your veterinarian. We also have many free pamphlets on caring for your pet available at the SPCA and can provide the names of local resources for training or behavior concerns.
