Story
🐾 WRINKLES and his brother Tank were recently surrendered to us - they were part of an unintended litter locally and the owner could no longer care for them. They are both 11 month old puppies and look to be some kind of Cavalier Bichon maybe Shih Tzu type mix? They are both under 20 lbs and fully grown - Wrinkles is 7 and Tank is 11 lbs. We are getting them both completely vetted (included in their adoption fees) and will report back more on them as their foster gets to know them and shares info and more pictures. Both are a little shy right now, but have just had a big change, so we expect they will do fine once they settle in. 👉 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. 💜 Please click PURPLE BUTTON above to apply or go to www.secondhanddogrescue.com/apply ! ✍ 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 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)

Story
Bones is a 21-pound 1-year-old (b. Sept 2024) mixed breed - Australian Cattle Dog with something small - with one blue eye. She was adopted by her current owner from Lollypop Farm in early November 2025. She is, first and foremost, a snuggler. "Lazy Bones" loves her rest and prefers to take it curled up next to someone. She can be quite playful at times, especially belly rubs and ball-chasing. Bones was potty-trained by her current owner and has finished basic puppy training classes. Though not perfect, she has proven the ability to learn. As a young dog, she is understandably energetic, though when energized she can get jumpy and mouthy (but she doesn't bite in anger). She also barks a bit too often given she lives in a townhouse. She can be clingy, and isn't yet used to spending long stretches alone. She is taking anxiety medication, a continuation from her time at Lollypop. Overall: A good cuddlepup who could use more training, just not a great fit for her owner.
