Story
Meet Apolo! At 2½ years old, this big Pitty boy is basically a giant teddy bear with a whole lot of love to give. Apolo absolutely adores people and is happiest when he’s soaking up attention from his favorite humans . Because of his size and strength, Apolo is looking for a confident, dog-savvy owner who understands large breeds and can continue helping him be his best self. He may do well with female dogs but does not do well with male dogs. Older kids may be okay for this lovable guy. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Apolo might just be your perfect match. Dog meets: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm

Story
Meet Toby! Toby is an adult Pit mix with a big personality, lots of energy, and an even bigger love for food! This strong, enthusiastic boy is looking for an experienced adult-only home that can handle his size and help channel his energy in positive ways. Toby thrives with structure, exercise, and people who understand large, active dogs. Treats are definitely the way to his heart, and his foodie side makes him extra motivated to learn and bond with his people. Because of his strength and excitement level, Toby is not a good fit for homes with children. He’s searching for a committed owner who’s ready for a loyal companion and plenty of adventures together! Dog meets: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm

Story
Dino is a Pitty mix who came in as a stray and is full of big energy and excitement! He can be a lot at first and will need someone who can handle his size and enthusiasm while helping him learn some basic manners. He’s very food-motivated (treats are the way to his heart!) and once he’s had a chance to burn off that energy, Dino is more than happy to settle in for a good nap. With structure, exercise, and a committed owner, he has all the potential to grow into a fun and loving companion. Dog meets: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm

Ballston Spa, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Baila is a young spunky gal with a brain to match her energy! She’s full of curiosity, sass, and spirit, and she’s not afraid to let you know what she thinks. This clever girl isn’t a fan of other animals—especially birds and small critters—and she’s best in a home without little kids. Baila is a fast learner waiting for the right teacher. She thrives with someone patient and confident who can show her the ropes, teach her manners, and help her turn all that energy into fun, focused play. With guidance, Baila will blossom into a loyal, loving, and endlessly entertaining companion. She’s not just a dog—she’s a personality in motion, and the right person will get front-row seats to her daily adventures! Interested? Dog meets: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm

Story
Meet Gypsy! 🐾 At 5 years old, this adult boxer lady is a bundle of energy, personality, and goofiness. She’s playful, full of life, and loves to “talk” to anyone willing to listen—whether it’s to share her excitement or just say hello. Gypsy would thrive in a home that can keep up with her energetic spirit and give her consistent training to help her focus that playful energy. She’s smart, affectionate, and will make a loyal companion for someone ready to match her enthusiasm. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you laughing, join in on adventures, and always greet you with a wagging tail (and maybe a few silly antics), Gypsy is your girl! ❤️ Dog meets: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm *Gypsy qualifies for a discounted adoption for Saratoga County residents 60+.

Story
Draco is a big boy with an even bigger heart! This Rottie/Pitbull mix is strong, playful, and full of personality. He’s friendly and loves treats (which makes him extra motivated to learn), and he’s always ready for some fun. Draco is smart and willing, but he’ll need an experienced, confident owner who can provide structure and continue his training. He can be a bit jumpy and doesn’t always realize his size, so older kids would be the best fit for him. He may do well with other animals with slow introductions. With consistency, guidance, and plenty of positive reinforcement, Draco has all the potential to grow into an amazing, loyal companion. Dog meets: Mon-Sat 12pm-3pm
