Story
*Name: Daisy *Age: 1.5 years old  *Current Weight: 45 lbs *Adoption fee: $475 Daisy is nothing short of a little miracle wrapped in fur. Just a few months ago, she was bravely fighting inflammation of her spinal cord that left her unable to walk for nearly 3 months. But with determination, love, and lots of intensive physical therapy, Daisy has made an incredible comeback—regaining almost 100% of her mobility!  She’s already fecal continent and about 70% urine continent, and her team is very optimistic that as her nerves continue to heal, she’ll keep improving every day. And trust us… this girl is motivated to live life to the fullest! Now that she’s feeling better, Daisy’s true personality is shining—and it’s AMAZING. She is absolutely OBSESSED with other dogs. Seriously, if there’s a playgroup, she’s the life of the party and wants in on all the fun! Because of this, a home with another playful, friendly dog is a must for her happiness. With new people, Daisy can be a little shy at first—but give her a little time and patience, and she’ll soon be your playful, affectionate shadow, nudging you to join in on the fun too. She loves her walks and is great on a leash! Daisy would thrive with an active family who will continue to help her build strength and confidence with regular walks, adventures, and maybe even some hikes. It’s not just fun for her—it’s an important part of her continued healing journey. Daisy has been through so much and come out the other side stronger, happier, and ready to love. Now all she needs is a forever home to keep cheering her on To apply to adopt, fill out an application at https://snarrnortheast.org/adopt/ PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR FAQs  ##2252780##

This brave soul survived being hit by a car and, as a result, lost one of her legs back in December. But don’t let that fool you — she doesn’t see herself as anything less than amazing. Little Girl doesn’t let her past define her, and she certainly doesn’t let it slow her down! She’s a shining example of resilience and joy.

She has a special way of making people feel loved the moment they meet her. This smart girl is both housetrained and crate trained, making her an easy addition to a loving home. She adapts beautifully and simply wants to be near her people, soaking up affection and giving it right back. Little Girl has already overcome so much, and now she’s ready for her happy ending. She deserves a family who will cherish her, celebrate her strength, and remind her every single day just how special she truly is.

Story
Meet Grayson! Or as his foster mama lovingly calls him, Old Man Jenkins (although he prefers to be addressed as distinguished gentleman, fyi). At around 5-7 years young, Grayson has officially retired from the puppy chaos and is now focusing on his true passions in life: professional couch lounging, competitive snuggling and advanced level kissing.  He is a refined sir with nice manners and a deep appreciation for lumbar support. Completely potty trained Impeccable on a leash, he doesn’t walk with you, he escorts you. Crate training? Doing beautifully. He doesn’t hate his “gentlemen’s quarters” but def prefers the company of his companion. Serial kisser…consent required but once granted, prepare for smooch warfare!  Grayson believes in early bed times, soft blankets, mild neighborhood strolls, and judging youth from a comfortable distance! Grayson doesn’t mind feline friends, he finds them cute to look at but enjoys adoring them from the couch. He likes a pup friend- and will catch a spunk to play bow- but really does prefer a stroll in the yard and a hard nap. Adopt responsibility- he expects snacks!!! www.buffalounderdogs.com/adopt  ##2371162##
