Story
Dakota is a loving 3 year old German shepherd. Great with kids and other pets ( we have 2 cats ). She is potty trained and loves to play. She still thinks she is a puppy lol. Would love to give her to someone that is able to provide her a loving home that can keep up with her energy and give her the time she needs.

I got her in Rochester from her breeder, she's two years old on August 28 of this year 2026.I'm looking for someone to really care and love this kind-hearted dog. Someone that can provide her a spacious loving home for a long haul preferably and that loves her for her not for profit on her not being neutered part of it.Ivy is a funny, caring, lovable, big baby.. She is very playful, loyal and willing to learn good traits.

Story
Penelope is a stunning Aussiedoodle rescue with a brilliant mind and a heart of gold. We met her through a clinic after her previous owner realized Penelope’s high-octane energy wasn't the right match for their older son on the spectrum. Now, this athletic girl is looking for her true "forever" home! ​Her Vibe: Penelope is a "work hard, play hard" girl. While she isn't a frisbee fan, she is a fetch pro and lives to learn new tricks! Though she had a hip injury in her first home and has slight hip dysplasia, it doesn't slow her down—she’s a resilient girl ready for adventure. ​The Ideal Match: ​Mature Home: Penelope needs a toddler-free environment. She thrives with older kids or adults. ​One-and-Only: She prefers to be your only pet. ​Company: She has separation anxiety and needs a 6–7 hour limit alone (up to 8.5 only if well-exercised). ​If you have a fenced yard and love "velcro dogs," Penelope is your girl. She’s healthy, up-to-date on care, and ready to be your shadow!

Story
Primrose, Princeton and Percival's mom was abandoned at a home when her previous owners moved out. She was left out on a chain to fend for herself. Luckily the neighbors realized she had been left behind and took her in. She was in horrible physical condition and pregnant by to neighborhood stray (a black lab) that would jump the fence when she was in heat. It was reported by the neighbors that these 2 had had multiple litters together but none of the puppies ever survived. The neighbors children fell in love with mom and they are keeping her but needed help rehoming her very last litter (we assisted in getting her spayed). These pups are the most laid back and chill group I have ever seen.

Ace loves children and he loves walks and playing with other dogs. We just recently had to move and our new place is too small for him. I would love for him to have more space and someone that would be with him often.

Story
Camryn was found on a very busy highway scared and dodging cars. Despite being very under weight and in rough condition at intake he has been a sweeetheart since day one. He is slowly gaining weight and thriving while learning how to be a happy pup with all his other puppy friends in foster care. We are working on potty and crate training. His Grey eyes and blue features are captivating while his long uncoordinated legs are comical.
