My story

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

Meet Vespera! (or as her foster parents affectionately call her — Vessy, Loch Vess Monster, or Vespa !)



Vespera is an 8-month-old Carolina Dog / German Shorthaired Pointer mix, weighing about 33 pounds. She’s sweet, spunky, and light on her feet — a graceful little athlete who bounds around with joy and confidence once she warms up.



Vess might be a bit shy when she first meets you, but don’t let that fool you, she comes out of her shell quickly and absolutely soaks up attention (especially belly rubs!). She loves to play with her foster brothers and would be thrilled to have a dog sibling in her new home, though she’d also shine as the solo star. We’re not sure how she’d do with cats, but judging by her intense interest in backyard squirrels… probably best in a feline-free home.



Fun Facts about Vessy:



She loves her crate — it’s her cozy safe space.



She’s an aspiring interior designer who enjoys moving shoes around the house (but has never destoyed or nibbled them!).



100% potty trained — not a single accident in her foster home! (Yes, we are now knocking on wood)



Leash walking is still a work in progress, but she’s learning to trust it.



She may whine a little at bedtime but quickly settles in for the night — and greets you in the morning with a nonstop wagging tail!



Her huge, bat-like ears are the perfect finishing touch on her petite frame — rumor has it, her name came from an elf character in a book, which suits her whimsical charm perfectly.



If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and personality-packed pup, Vespera might just be your girl!

Additional adoption info

What is your adoption process?

After our dogs are listed for adoption on Facebook and our website, you can apply online for the dog you are interested in meeting.

*Buffalo Underdogs Rescue does not operate on a “first come, first served” basis.

Our primary concern is that the dogs in our care go to the home that is best suited for them.* The foster parent of the dog will view all of the applications that are submitted for their foster dog. They will select the applicants that seem to be the best fit and call their personal and vet references. If your application appears to be the best fit for their foster dog, they will then contact you to set up a meet and greet at your house. They will also discuss the adoption requirements during this initial call.

*Note: All members of the family must be present at the meet and greet.*

If all goes well at the meet and greet, and the foster and family feel that this is the best fit, arrangements will be made to complete the adoption. In order to adopt, you must have an appropriately sized collar (or harness, if required), leash and a dog tag with your telephone number.



What happens at a meet and greet?

For every dog/puppy, we require a meet and greet in your home, with all members of the family, including cats and dogs, present. If you have any dogs, the foster will ask you to bring your leashed dog(s) outside to the edge of your property to meet on “neutral territory”. You will take a quick walk (in the neutral territory), so that the dogs are aware of each other’s presence. After the walk, you can let them sniff each other, and if all goes well, even let them play together if you have a fenced yard (leaving the leashes on). After a short while, if they are still interacting positively, then the foster will take the new dog into your home to see how your dog tolerates the new dog indoors. Sometimes, these relationships take time to build and dogs need time to find their place in the pack. If you or the foster are unsure whether this dog will be a good fit, a second meet and greet can be arranged. This is at the discretion of the foster, as they know their dog’s personality best. If this particular dog isn't a good fit for some reason, that doesn’t mean you cannot adopt a different Underdog!



What is required in order to adopt a dog/puppy from you?

Our fosters will not leave their foster dog in the new adoptive home until the new owners have a leash, collar/harness that fits and dog tag for the new dog with the new owner contact information.

We do not have a physical shelter/building. We are a foster-based rescue in the Buffalo, NY area. But please check out our website and Facebook page for upcoming adoption events. You can meet some of our adoptable dogs there!

More about this rescue

Who we are....
Buffalo Underdogs Rescue is an all-breed, volunteer-driven nonprofit organization. BUR saves dogs in Western New York as well as from a rural kill shelter in Eastern Texas. We pull dogs from shelters and transport them to their awaiting foster homes, in the Buffalo area. We provide a safe home environment for our dogs while they receive necessary vetting, begin the process of training and socialization and prepare them to become members of a loving family.

We believe with your help, these underdogs can become top dogs!
