Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi there, my name is Minnie!!   I am a sweet girl who may be small in stature, but I have mountains of love to give.  I am a very affectionate girl and love to cuddle and give lots of kisses. I am told all the time what a gorgeous wrinkly-faced, pity mix lady I am. I think I’m the exact definition of a lap dog, I hope you feel the same way.  I love meeting new people and will quickly show off my belly for rubs, which is one of my favorite things! I am currently living with two foster dog-siblings and love to play with them. I am house-trained. I love those things they call treats, and I am highly food motivated, making training me so much easier, as I will do anything for a treat!!  I know  basic commands and I respond well to my name.  My foster Mom says I am the sweetest and most loving pup around, do you want to meet me and see? I am hoping for a home that will let me be the most snuggly lap-pup that I was certainly born to be. The best forever home for me would probably be one with another pup, since I love to play, but of course would require a proper warm-up/meet and greet to be sure that we can be the best playmates ever. If you are interested in meeting me and getting in some cuddles, please apply for me today @BuffaloCares.org, I will be waiting for you! Hugs and kisses, Minnie!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hello, my name is CANE. I am a 2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. I am a SWEET, FUN-LOVING GUY. I am told all the time by everyone I meet how I am the the sweetest boy ever.  I love being around my humans because they love to give me treats and belly rubs which I can never get enough of. I don’t want to miss out on any of the great attention that my favorite humans give me.  I’m really good with commands whether it’s sit, stay or paw. I really LOVE all the toys my humans let me play with. I am housebroken, know basic commands and am crate-trained. My favorite thing to do at the end of a long day is climb up on the lap of my human, stare up at them with my soulful brown eyes and get pets until I fall asleep.  If your ready for the perfect companion, apply today @buffalocares.org Adoption Fee $425.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.HI! My name is Cabbage Patch the Sassafras! I am a 9-month-old American Staffordshire Terrier. People always tell me what a happy, spunky girl I am with  lots of energy. But I also like to snuggle during down time. My people tell me I am the perfect combination of sweet & sassy. I Like other  dogs and have had some  exposure to those things called cats. I wasn't sure what they were but I was nice and didn't bother them. Being young, I am still working on my commands. I have mastered “sit”. My ideal home would have  a spacious yard that I can zoom around in and get her energy out. I am very playful and energetic. I enjoy the company of other dogs that will play with me. I also love my toys to keep me busy. When my humans pay attention to me, I love that as much as I love those things called treats. I promise I will keep you entertained, no doubt. If you’re seeking a fun-loving companion who’s tail never stops wagging, then I AM YOUR GIRL!
