My story

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

MAX is a fun, sassy large boxer lab mix (about 4 years old) who would make someone a great pet. He's silly and loves his people and to play fetch and with his toy. He's been around a lot of different dogs and been good with ALL of them. He needs to be in a cat-free home but enjoys other dogs a lot. He's been with us for wayyy too long through zero fault of his own, and deserves his own forever home. He's just overlooked in the sea of black dogs, it seems. But he's a very special guy and his foster just raves about him.

🤪 Max is good with people but needs to be in a home with teenager or older kids only (no younger kids just because he’s a mouthy player with a lot of energy and can knock smaller kids over).

👉 Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue.

✍ APPLICATION PROCESSING: We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.

📌 IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience.

🗺ADOPTION AREA: Several hour radius of Rochester, NY (Canada within 3hrs IS allowed), except the young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination in order to cross the border- usually around 16 weeks).

More about this rescue

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based dog rescue serving a 3-hour radius around Rochester, NY. Started in 2015, we find loving homes for approximately 500 dogs (and a handful of cats) each year. We serve the local population, taking as many local surrenders as we are able to, and also work with other partner shelters to pull dogs who are on a euthanasia list because of overcrowding. As a licensed rescue, we receive no govenment or municpal funding or grants, and rely soly on adoption fees and other donations to operate.
